The Vision
Hot Spots want more customers. Patrons want, well... Patrons want what they want! BeerMagnet.com wants Hot Spots and patrons to make the most of having a good time! In short, BeerMagnet.com wants patrons to unleash their Pubtential (get the most of their Hot Spot experience) by allowing the Hot Spots to unleash their Pubtential (get the word out to new and existing customers)!!!
The Pitch
BeerMagnet.com is your chance to unleash your Pubtential! Whether you are a Hot Spot owner/manager wanting to keep your customers informed and draw new customers or a Hot Spot patron wanting to make the most of your going out experience, BeerMagnet.com is dedicated to bringing Hot Spots and their patrons together.
It's no secret that proper advertising can benefit both the business and the consumer, but in some industries, it can be difficult to find a cost effective way for the business and the consumer to reach each other. In the highly volatile service industry, it is nearly impossible (and definitely not cost effective) for a Hot Spot to present potential patrons with everything they have to offer via typical mediums such as television, radio, or newspaper. Even if a Hot Spot could find a way to advertise most of their selling points on these mediums, what if the Hot Spot's specials, events, or amenities change?
A Gold Hot Spot profile on BeerMagnet.com offers many advantages over conventional promotional mediums such as television, radio, and newspaper, including:
- Changes to the Hot Spot profiles are effective immediately in most cases!
- Cost effective!!! As low as $5.65/month with a 3 month subscription!*
- Profiles can be searched and viewed 24/7!**
- Profiles can be viewed from anywhere in the world! (think tourists, contractors, and other travelers!)
- Hot Spots can post their specials, events, pictures, menus, and even "help wanted" ads for the same low price!
A Gold Hot Spot profile on BeerMagnet.com also has advantages over having an independent website:
- Greater new customer base! Anybody viewing your website probably already knows about your Hot Spot. (again, think tourists, contractors, and other travelers!)
- Easy to update! BeerMagnet.com was designed knowing that not everybody is a computer guru, and most people do not know how to create or update their own website. Every aspect of a Gold Hot Spot profile is updated with easy to use forms, and is as easy as writing a simple email!
- Cost effective! Most web developers charge more per hour to update a website than a Gold Hot Spot profile on BeerMagnet.com costs per month! Add to that the extra costs of owning an independent website, such as the domain name and web hosting, and it's easy to see how cost effective a gold Hot Spot profile on BeerMagnet.com really is!
