What if I don't have a website? (Click here) 

What if I'm not in the furniture business? (click here) 

How does it work?

Each Member of Houston Furniture Online's website, will contribute equal amounts monthly to an advertising fund. This fund will be used to buy advertising (pre-defined and agreed to monthly). You will make your checks payable directly to any pre-defined advertising medium (i.e... Your Local TV-Station). 

There are 10 areas available on the map of Houston. Each area will directly link into an online store based in that area. So for example; if your a member and have your store in the northwest area, when someone visits www.HoustonFurnitureOnline.com and Clicks on the northwest section of the map, they will be redirected to your online store or website.

We will enforce traffic to each area by each store agreeing to offer free delivery in that area. This should keep customers shopping in their area of residents. If need be you may place a minimum purchase amount before offering free delivery.

How will this help me, and why not just advertise on my own?

Everyone knows that advertising is the key to success, we also know that a tiny bit of advertising is better than none. But the key to making money, is to not spend more on advertising than your making on the additional sales. In Simpler terms if you spend $10,000 on advertising and only make $5000.00 more profit than you usually make without the advertising, than you've lost $5,000. But...

In order for your advertising to take hold, it must be repeated and repeated often, often enough that potential customers will see or hear it several times. Your advertising needs time to sink in become part of their thoughts. So that they will have sufficient time to decide to visit or call on you. This much advertising can become costly, leaving you far from ever competing against the big guys who run commercials all day long, every day. 

It's a catch 22, you need to spend allot on advertising to get your share of the customers, and you need your share of the customers in order to make the money you need for advertising.

So where do you go from here, well you have to advertise, and to advertise effectively, you must spend quite a bit of money. Well not anymore!

This is why we formed this alliance! Each member of this alliance will capture the full effect of all the advertising. For example, If 8 members spend $500.00 each on advertising, each member will reap the benefits of $4000.00 in advertising in their immediate area. 

This gives you a chance to increase your sales, without spending a whole lot of money. The joint efforts of all the members around Houston will insure that the advertising is ran enough for consumers to take notice, and the area targeting map of our site will insure you get all the traffic from your area.

This is a fantastic way to get major advertising with minimal commitment. There are over 400 furniture stores in Houston. This small alliance, allows the few members to work together and gather a large portion of the sales that will be made by customers somewhere. Remember with 400 stores out there you must do something to stand out. With most computer owners being in a higher than average income level. You could target a better market.

We are currently targeting income tax time (between January 15th through march 15th) when furniture sales are the greatest. We all shall gather a larger percentage of sales by making more consumers aware of our stores.

There is additional information below. 

Also as special bonus every dollar that you spend on advertising with us, you will get a dollar credit towards listing and selling fees at www.SpaceCityAuctions.com
