Learn About BrighterSite's Web Marketing Suite: The Online Marketing Solution for Small, Local, and Independent Business

A website, e-mail, and now e-mail marketing are crucial components of most big business' sales strategies. Consumers now choose the businesses they use by going online, even if it's to look up somebody local. The Yellow Pages are quickly becoming something of the past. If you are a small or independent business, the time is now to get your business online.

With BrighterSite, it's easy and quick to get online. Most business owners don't have a lot of time, money, or technical expertise to make the web work for them. With BrighterSite, casual computer users (like those who are able to do simple web browsing, or some online shopping) can get a web marketing program going quickly, and those who choose not to use computers can get online, too.

BrighterSite also understands what drives small and local businesses: Referrals. Most business people understand the power of getting referrals to build their client base. BrighterSite is built to support and facilitate the referral-getting process.

What do I get with BrighterSite?

BrighterSite has three main components that make for the complete web marketing solution. They include:

1. A templated website with your own URL (e.g., www.MyBusiness.com")
   
   
2. Up to five e-mail accounts that are custom to your business (more available for an additional fee)
   
   
3. Powerful e-mail campaign software that enables you to manage your client list, launch group announcements, send birthday cards, and more.
   
   

BrighterSite is easy, fast, and straightforward to use. No technical or coding experience is needed. It is as simple as shopping online. Plus, real people are available to help you along the way.
