Christian Zaguirre, Manager, Online Marketing
As our name implies, ValueWeb offers more than just a Web hosting plan. SalesBooster Web hosting includes powerful marketing tools that help small businesses get a Web site, drive new customers to the site and keep them coming back.
Small businesses can launch their Web site with:
• A free domain name for one year
• Unlimited disk space
• Unlimited traffic
• Unlimited email accounts
• A template-based Web site builder so easy, you don’t even have to know HTML to design a professional, fully functional Web site
GetFound Online helps our customers attract new customers by listing their business on the top 10 Internet search directories that handle 94% of all search queries. And Newsletter Broadcast builds customer loyalty by offering a free email platform businesses can use to announce sales, special promotions or send a customer newsletter.
It’s a Web hosting plan designed with the small business owner’s interests at heart.
What unique selling points do you offer?
ValueWeb’s unique selling points are two powerful marketing platforms. One that helps customers drive traffic to their business whether they have a Web site or not and one that helps them maintain those relationships through marketing email messages.
Studies show that among small businesses’ biggest concerns are attracting new customers and staying in business. ValueWeb offers Web hosting that helps them do both.
Describe the services you offer?
ValueWeb offers one powerful Web hosting plan that includes everything a small business needs to get started and grow on the Web.
SalesBooster Web hosting includes:
• Unlimited disk space
• Unlimited traffic
• Unlimited basic email accounts
• Free domain name registration for one year
• $75 in search advertising credits
• GetFound Online directory listings
• Newsletter Broadcast
For customers who already have Web hosting, or aren’t ready for Web hosting yet, we offer domain name registration and a standalone version of GetFound, which I’d like to tell you a little more about.
GetFound is a service that has customers fill out one online form with their business information. It creates a business profile for that customer and submits it to the 10 most popular Internet directories, including Google, Yahoo, Bing and Yellowpages.com. It can be used as a Web presence in itself or to drive traffic to customers’ Web site.
Describe your target market?
We’re completely focused on the small business market. That includes brand new businesses and established businesses that are growing. All of our products are designed to help this segment of the market succeed—and by succeed, we mean get more sales.
How is your company planning for the future?
In 2009, we rolled out GetFound Online and Newsletter Broadcast in response to our customers’ needs. We’re listening to customers and keeping a finger on the pulse of small business owners to develop more products that simplify complex online marketing tasks. Our goal is to make it easy for our customers to increase sales and attract more customers.
What benefits can you offer your customers?
Small businesses that put our Web hosting packages to full use are likely to see their business grow. Our products are designed to help them get their information in front of more potential customers through a Web site and online listings and keep those customers coming back with a full email marketing platform all bundled into a Web hosting plan that starts at $6.95/month.
How do you support your customers?
We offer 24/7 Support, 365 days a year & 99.9% Uptime.
