VALUE PROPOSITION

Technological Strategies

Business Problem: SOHO’s and SMB’s cannot compete with Fortune 5000 companies in the Social Media space, without having to spend thousands to tens of thousands of dollars on a marketing and commerce presence.
Action: Conceived and architected the first Social Commerce and Marketing Platform for Facebook. The product, Fanpage Toolkit is the #1 Social Commerce and Marketing Platform for Facebook… empowering its users to create, trend, promote, market and sell products/services within the massive Facebook ecosystem.
Result: SOHO’s and SMB’s can now compete directly against Fortune 5000 companies on Facebook for under $30 per month, without any programming knowledge. Users can also cross-promote product/service offerings across other Social Network services, such as… Twitter, Google+ and LinkedIn.
