Services
In keeping with our philosophy of "what's good for our customers is good for us", we offer the following services designed to promote our customers' businesses. ***
DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION
Just as a phone number rings to a designated phone, the world wide web you are now using recognizes specific spots or "websites" on the internet by the "U.R.L." (Uniform Resource Locater). We can register your domain name (i.e.,www.YOURNAME.com) for your exclusive use. Also known as a "web address", it is your unique address on the electronic super highway just as www.OptiSight.com is ours. Register your name now! The internet is changing the way the world does business, and you will want your name registered so that you will be ready (if you're not now) to have a website in your name.
Believe it or not, someone could legally register your name and there is nothing you can do about it! As a matter of fact many unscrupulous "entrepreneurs" are doing so, and then selling them to the logical owners at greatly inflated prices! Can you imagine if someone other than the IBM Corporation had registered www.IBM.com? What do you suppose it would be worth? Reserve your name now and avoid confusion and expense later, not to mention the possibility of your competition taking your name and customers! Note that more than one U.R.L. can be linked to the same website. What if someone links your name to their website?? This can and does happen!
The cost for a two year registration is only $call, and must be renewed every two years at $call.***
WEBSITE HOSTING
Once you have registered your domain name, you will want to have your website hosted, that is to say "posted" or "put up" on the internet. This service, offered by many, is not all the same! There are faster and slower hosting services. We will put your websight on one of the fastest servers in the world. This means faster loading of graphics and text for your potential customers (people don't like to wait too long for the information they seek on the web).
*** A contract is required, and the cost of this service is $call per year.
Should you decide to terminate or move your site to another host you can do so at any time with no loss of data, or additional charge by us. The contents of your website are yours, and will remain so. Just like changing long distance phone services, you keep your phone number (in this case your U.R.L.), just the carrier (in this case "host") is changed.
WEBSITE DESIGN / CREATION AND MAINTENANCE
We like to think that we have, and are doing a very good job on www.OptiSight.com and are ready and waiting to do the same for you. While you may not need as elaborate a website as this, you would benefit from our experts and avoid the many pitfalls other websites exhibit. With an eye toward fast loading, informative, easy to navigate, and even entertaining design, we can make your websight an indispensable tool in communicating with your community and the world. An optical retailers' website used properly can (and we believe should) include:
Your name and title.
From time to time you will need to update this information, no problem here either, we can change it as often as you like, at a modest rate. Since websites, as with an ad in any other advertising medium is tailor made, and there is not yet a "one size fits all" design, our charge for this ongoing service is on an hourly basis. At only $15.00 per hour, we know of no lower rate for this service. This above all other services should be contracted with only carefully chosen, trusted technicians due to the obvious potential for abuse in billing. If you have ever visited a website of a technical nature and laughed at the sophomoric attempts of the "webmaster" at explaining what he/she does not understand themselves, you will appreciate our knowledge of the optical industry. With your input and our guidance an informative, effective websight will be your businesses' most accessable and vital link to your community.***
DIRECT MARKETING
Our advertising department is capable of identifying and contacting potential customers in your neighborhood. Demographic information including age, family income and size is available to target your most desirable audience. Prominent display of your websight address on a postcard with a brief announcement of a sale or special is the most cost effective way to deseminate information to a specific pool of potential customers. Or, consider sending a custom printed refrigerator magnet, key chain, pencil, etc., to serve as a constant reminder of your website and your practice when the time comes they need you.
Take advantage of our reduced postage rates, and join in a mass mailing of residents in your identified zipcodes or localities anywhere within the United States of America. Save money with our professional list management techniques taht avoids "dupes", and miss delivered mail. MR. JONES AND MS. SMITH residing at the same address will receive only ONE mailing with our automated DEDUPING software. C.A.S.S. certification is a must for either third class bulk rate or automated first class mail, and we do that too. Our bar coding capability will speed your mass mailing and guarantee the lowest price the U.S. Postal authorities will allow. Our mail department and postal permit #333 delivers you all these benefits without having to become a bulk mail expert. Instead, you can concentrate on the practice of your profession and reaping the benefits of joining forces with the power of OPTISIGHT.com. Even the very modest cost of this service can be further defrayed by getting neighboring businesses to "piggy back" on your next mailing! Why not get your strip mall to hold a midnight sale or sponsor an event for charity?!
*** The price for all the above services starts at a mere 25¢ each, in lots as few as 5000 pieces!!!!! Think of it, at only a 1% response rate, it will more than pay for the ad campaigns' cost. Can you use another 50 customers or so?
*** For any of the above services, please contact Dave at OptiSight.com at 941-766-1533 (or contact us from the Order page), mention your interest in these services and he'll call you to explore or fully discuss your specific needs. Dave's a perfectionist and will be of great help getting the "biggest bang for the buck" from your advertising budget.
