- How Do I Get Visitor
Information?
|
If you are a Member and
maintain your own web site - you will get notice each
time someone clicks on your web site link from your Handi-Men.Com
listing. If you do not maintain your own web site, you will
receive
notice whenever someone enters your virtual
web site. Nearly 85% of all visits are captured
with notices being sent sent to the member involved. The only way to acquire visitor names and
email addresses is when they contact you directly - or
when an exclusive lead is provided by the Editor! |
- How much do I pay for
exclusive leads?
|
Program participants (Subscription Members) pay 3% of the first $2,000 of the cost of any individual lead project (up to a maximum of $60).
A Project lead valued at $100 pays a $3 commission. A Project lead valued at at $1,000 pays $30 in commissions.
Commissions are due when you
execute a contract with the customer (project owner)! Participation in the Editor's Pick Program (Handi-Men.Com's exclusive lead program) is strictly voluntary. Both Standard/Basic Subscriptions and Link Partners may request 'Non-Exclusive' leads from the Handi-Men.Com Available Projects List. A non-exclusive lead commission is charged at 2% of the first $2,000. |

- How can I be sure I'm
getting a good deal?
|
As a Handi-Men.Com Member you can expect to receive advertising and associated services valued at over $1,000 for the modest cost of your annual membership fee. While we can't guarantee that these costs will continue - we will guarantee you the same fee for an additional year should you re-subscribe. Probably
the best way to ensure that Handi-Men.Com's fee and programs are right
for you is to compare them to others on the
internet! Franchises generally offer the same open listing
policy as Handi-Men.Com but for a lot more money. Many do
not offer the additional services or the multiple navigational
tools as Handi-Men.Com. To make it as easy as possible to find Listing Members in specific communities, a visitor can select one of three navigational methods" (1 By state and category, (2 Using the 'Locator Map' by state and then by category, or (3 Do a search by contractor name. Most non-franchise sites require
you to pay in advance for memberships (or listings) and
leads. A notable example is constructiondeal.com which charges
$180 a year (if you pay for the entire year) or as much
as $300
a year
if
you
pay by the month. Constructiondeal.com maintains about
1/3 of the membership capacity in both members
and geographical locations as Handi-Men.Com and provides
one navigational tool
where Handi-Men.Com
provides up to four. Handi-Men.Com also provides nearly
4 times the search capability on the internet as its closest
competitor. If a potential customer can't find you, regardless
of what you paid - no program is worth the money! Exclusive leads
are strongly based upon search engine placement - if a customer
can't find the site, they certainly can't request a referral either.
Other similar services are operated by foreign companies who sell both subscriber and visitor information to hundreds of other companies each month. This information is used to send you increased spam and unwanted marketing materials! Handi-Men.Com is a North American company with offices and facilities in both Canada and the United States.
