7 Ways Storeboard Will Change The Way We Do Business On The Internet! |
Posted: June 14, 2012 |
Storeboard.com is a new social media site that integrates different technology from 4 types of sites - Directory, Marketplace, Social, and Classifieds. By combining these technologies Storeboard has created a one stop shop for small businesses and their customers. Storeboard.com may change the way we do business online in these 7 ways: 1. Eliminate Online Advertising Costs - There are numerous directory sites like Merchant Circle, YP.com, and Angieslist which charge businesses for displaying and uploading information about their business. These charges can cost a business hundreds or even thousands of dollars per month. Storeboard allows any business anywhere in the world the ability to upload an unlimited amount of videos, products, images, blogs, ads, coupons, and audios for free. This can drastically reduce a business's overhead. 2. Improve Business Search - If all businesses uses a uniform profile, over time it would be easier for consumers to find what they are looking for. Now, a great deal of business search takes place on Google and then consumers have to select from a variety of websites and webpages which become difficult to compare. A uniform profile that all businesses use could make it easier for consumers to search and find what they are looking for. 3. Make It Easy To Do Business From Afar - Storeboard makes it easier to do business with businesses that are in other locations whether they are in your own country or in another country. By viewing a Business's materials and media, you can do a lot of background research on a company without leaving your seat. Storeboard also allows you to send messages for free without limitation to ease communication between companies. A decade ago it wouldn't have been possible to just start promoting your business in a foreign country. Storeboard has businesses from over 100 countries and once you become a Member you immediately have contacts from around the world. 4. Eliminate Fees For Selling Products Online - When companies sell their products on Ebay, Amazon, and Etsy, there are fees that they have to pay to the companies. Storeboard allows anyone to upload an unlimited amount of products onto their profile for free. Then a Storeboard Member can link each product to their website, website checkout, or an Affiliate's checkout free of charge. The products are displayed in Storeboard's marketplace and a Storeboard Member can associate their profile media with the product such as videos, audios or images free of charge. 5. Make It Easy and Free To Share Your Media On All Social Sites By Posting on Storeboard - Sites like Facebook don't make it easy to share posts on other important sites. Facebook recently announced they will integrate Twitter but has yet to roll it out. Storeboard allows, facilitates, and encourages its Members to share their posts on all of their social networks to maximize their exposure. Since its essentially free advertising for Storeboard Members, Storeboard seeks to make it as easy as possible. Storeboard has introduced PowerSharing which allows a user to share their Storeboard postings on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn all at one time with the touch of a button. This is a completely free service. All postings can be shared on over 300 social site. 6. Helps its Members Get Views for Their Media For Free - Storeboard has created a social environment so that businesses can post blogs, products, videos, images and more and get their posting discovered by Storeboard Members. Postings get thousands of views since all Media is catalogued and displayed on various pages and widgets to encourage exposure. Storeboard Members report hundreds and thousands of views of their posting all of which have counters so a business can see the number of views they have on their profile or on any individual posting. On Facebook, its a business's job to get Views for their postings or page. On Storeboard, everyone gets exposure and viewers can find your postings since they are categorized and appear in many different locations. 7. Improve The Content on Social Sites - Storeboard features interesting and informative media that is easy for Storeboard Members to access. Rather than searching profiles and scrolling down timelines, Storeboard viewers can search in a variety of ways for things that interest them. If a user posts a video on Facebook, the audience is limited - you must be a friend and you have to be watching the timeline. On Storeboard all postings are categorized and anyone can see them similar to Youtube. This creates a richer experience for Storeboard Members who can see their Friends profiles but also discover new postings from any Storeboard Member. While Storeboard.com has not garnered the media attention of Facebook and LinkedIn, it is quietly becoming the Go To site for small businesses and viewers looking for a more substantive social media experience. It is currently ranked 16K in the World by Alexa.com and expands its user base every day.
