Small Businesses Speed Growth With New Online Customer Care
MESA, Arizona, Dec. 8, 2005 - PromoterZ(tm) (pronounced
promoters), a new online customer loyalty, care and referral
system for small businesses, is now available at
www.promoterz.com. The system provides an online service that
includes customer feedback surveys, referral generation,
customer "opt-in" email address acquisition, and automated
promotional email management for a monthly fee ranging from
$49.95 to $79.95. Small business owners have reported a steady
increase in revenues while using the PromoterZ(tm) system.
According to Dave Free, President of the company, "Our goal with
PromoterZ(tm) is to deliver a powerful tool that helps small
businesses speed growth through increased referrals and repeat
sales."
With approximately 24 million small businesses in the United
States, consumers have become overwhelmed with advertising
noise. To get past the noise, small business owners are looking
for ways to increase customer loyalty and encourage
word-of-mouth marketing. PromoterZ(tm) was designed to help
small businesses build customer relationships, increase customer
loyalty, encourage customer referrals, and improve customer
satisfaction. Users have access to extensive online reports
that
can be viewed and downloaded from anywhere via the web. There is
no software download required and set-up is quick and easy.
After testing PromoterZ(tm) in his business, Chuck Matheny,
Owner of Sport Clips(tm) Franchises said, "PromoterZ(tm) is
amazing! We have seen a consistent increase in sales since we
started using the system. Customers are making referrals every
hour of the day that we never would have seen before. Plus, I'm
more in touch with what is going on in my stores than I have
ever been".
PromoterZ(tm) is being used or is soon to be used in a wide
variety of markets, including the real estate, restaurant,
medical, dental, sales, swimming pool, hair care, exercise, and
retail industries.
