BeadHuddle.com allows beading-related businesses (e.g. beading suppliers and wholesalers) to go beyond the traditional online model of setting up a web store and then trying to attract people to what is often not much more than an e-commerce powered online catalog of items for sale.

As a member of BeadHuddle.com, you can build trust online by interacting with your existing and potential new customers in so many different ways, including:

• run workshops using online videos
• chat with your prospective customers via live chat rooms or instant messaging
• answer questions and share tips in forums
• publish articles
• use bulletins to announce specials, new product lines, etc...
• post event notices (workshops, in-store promotions, etc ...)
• run unlimited classified ads
• run e-bay style auctions

All of the above features are available to beading related businesses as part of the "Gold Membership".

The "Professional" Membership level offers all of the above features, plus the following benefits:

Benefit #1 - Business Directory Listings

Pro Members can list up to 5 different businesses on the directory, and create up to 3 separate listings for each business. This allows you to target different customers for different products if required.

Directory Listings on BeadHuddle.com are optimized for search engines and display not only to members of BeadHuddle.com, but also to all visitors of the site.

Listings are featured in the home page under "New Listings", "Most Popular", and "Random Listings" ...

Benefit #2 - Your Own "Service Desk" In The BeadHuddle.com Forum

As a BeadHuddle.com Pro Member, you can request to have your own forum section set up in the BeadHuddle.com Member's Area Forum. Your forum will be located under the "Supplier's Corner" section of the forum.

Having your own forum in BeadHuddle.com is like having a "service counter" for your store right in the middle of our busy beading "main street". It allows you to interact with BeadHuddle.com members and provide service to new and existing customers directly on the site before referring them onto your own site, where they can continue shopping, or place an order.

Additional benefits of having your own forum on BeadHuddle.com include:

• Increased Business Visibility. All members have access to the forum, whether they are existing customers of yours or not. The forum title displays your business name, your forum signature (containing your business slogan and a live link to your website) appears on every post, and, best of all, you can include an advertising banner * that will appear on every page of your own forum
  
  * Please note: Banner must be supplied by you in one of the following sizes: 728x90, 468x60, or 234x60. The system does not support the rotation of multiple banners at this point in time.)
   

• Improved Search Engine Rankings. BeadHuddle.com is partly owned and managed by a professional search engine optimization and internet marketing consulting company. As the site gains increased search engine exposure in the leading search engines, your business will also hopefully benefit from high quality backlinks and improved search results.
   

• Up To 3 Sub-Forums. You can have up to three sub-forums under your own forum if this is required. This is helpful if, for example, you would like to have one section in your forum for announcing your latest specials (i.e. deal of the week), one section for handling general enquiries, and one section for order tracking or handling customer issues.
   

• You Have Full Control. We will set up the forum for you and give you full moderator privileges. This allows you or one of your staff members to edit, move and delete unwanted posts whenever required.

In addition to having your own forum where you can promote your business to members of BeadHuddle.com, we also have a "Pro Members" only forum, where you will have access to valuable business-building and online marketing tips and information, and have the opportunity to network with other pro members.

Benefit #3 - Offer Your Customers A Free Upgrade To "Gold"

As a "Pro" Member, you can offer your customers a FREE upgrade to "Gold" Membership when they join BeadHuddle.com (retail value = $29.99)

This offer benefits both you and your customer. You can offer a valuable gift that your new and existing customers will enjoy receiving (e.g. as a special "thank you" gift), that will make your prospects and customers love you even more, and that costs you nothing.

We'll even supply you with banners for your site and an email you can send out to your entire customer database to make things easy.

Benefit #4 - Discounted Advertising Rates

BeadHuddle.com offers site-wide advertising banners in prime virtual real estate locations.

We offer advertising slots at very reasonable rates to a limited number of advertisers, with discounts for 3, 6 and 12 month contracts. Pro Members receive a further 20% discount and priority notification when filled advertising slots become available.

Benefit #5 - More "Pro Member Only" Features Coming Soon ...

Our software developers are currently upgrading our entire system to be able to handle new technology developments and new features. Once the upgrade is completed, we will be able to implement some cool and exciting new features from our own planning sessions, as well as from members' suggestions.
