Are your web customers seeking to create
'community'? |
|
|
Web design firms are under increasing pressure to add
“community” features to their customer’s web sites. Forrester Research Inc. notes that 60 percent of online merchants and brand marketers have or plan to offer community-building features such as chat, message boards and members-only areas within the year |
| Deliver this and more in our Alliance Program |
|
The netVillage Alliance Program is a lead referral and
shared development program for web design firms interested in adding our community
enabling software applications to their customer’s web sites. NetVillage is an
e-community application service provider. We provide a suite of tightly integrated
interactive software applications that provide “community” features to a
website. We also offer hosting services for these sites. We do NOT focus on providing initial web site design
or ongoing web page maintenance. That is where YOU come in. NetVillage will refer our
customers interested in using our community toolset and hosting services to our partners
for their web page development and maintenance. In return, web design firms will be able
to strengthen their value proposition of web page design by adding community features and
hosting services through netVillage.

| Why Community? |
|
By adding interactive community features, a web site
can grab surfer’s attention, keep them on the site, and encourage them to return. The
ability for interactive sites to keep users on their sites longer (three times the average
according to Businessweek) extends the opportunity to interest users in the site’s
e-commerce programs. In addition, by engaging customers with a netVillage interactive
community site, businesses can build stronger customer relationships, increase brand
loyalty, tap market knowledge, and capitalize on opportunities for highly targeted
advertising and sponsorships.

| The netVillage difference |
|
- One
Stop Shopping
We
are unmatched in the breadth of plug-and-play integrated
services we can incorporate into a community. From auctions to video broadcasting you can
offer your customers a wealth of interactive plug-and-play community services
- Completely
Integrated Services
Probably
the most important requirement of an online community. Our community
services were designed and developed to work with each other from the ground up. Rather trying to cobble together software
applications from multiple vendors (resulting in a hodgepodge mix of services and a
disruptive, inconsistent community experience), you can use our integrated services
benefiting from: single login, all services contained under the customer’s site, and
integrated e-commerce across all services.
- Feature
Rich
Our
community software has been developed and fine-tuned over many years. We've incorporated
feed back from a very large customer base and as a result our software is highly
configurable with a vast array of configuration features (5,000 at last count!). This
gives you the flexibility to create an ideal online service for your customers.
- Powerful
User Management & Security
All
of the community services are integrated into our User Management System. Its purpose is
to identify users, decide internally which activities and resources they can access, and
possibly charge users for access to those areas. Our locks & keys approach to managing
access rights gives your customers unparalleled power for member access and control.
- Unique
Credits-based E-Commerce Accounting
We
offer a ‘Credits’ based e-commerce system across all community services. Credits
are a community’s unit of currency. They are the mechanism by which For-Profit
systems can charge for services. A user maintains an electronic wallet (in the form of
'credits' applied to his account) and use this currency across all community services. It is a way a customer can surcharge for premium areas in his
online community.
- Web
Hosting and Outsourcing Options
Most
companies are looking to outsource their web site to a hosting company and many web design
firms are not in that business. By working with netVillage you will be able to provide an
outsourcing solution to your customers.
- Rapid
Time to Market
Using
our tools you can get a customer’s site up and running in days. In an age where being
late to the Internet game may spell doom for an Internet company, customers are looking to
be able to deploy rapidly and cost-efficiently.
