“Entrepreneurs and small businesses have used eCommerce to become a key part of the economy worldwide,” Lewis added. “The Small Business Administration reports there are nearly 27 million small businesses in the United States and millions more worldwide. Recent polling suggests nearly 90 percent of small businesses in the United States either had no website or had a website with no e-commerce functionality. Our goal is to expand our reach into the huge entrepreneur and small business marketplace.”
“We saw an opportunity to provide an excellent solution to a segment of the eCommerce market,” said Donald Danks, CEO of iMergent. “We believe by introducing StoresOnline Express, a scalable version of our cutting-edge, best of breed technology, we have the potential to expand our business.”
“StoresOnline Express provides online entrepreneurs flexibility and control over their approach to eCommerce,” said David Rosenvall, CTO of iMergent. “We designed StoresOnline Express as a top of the line solution in this particular market. This solution also provides an upgrade path to StoresOnline Pro.”
“As you know, we conduct preview conferences that host hundreds of thousands of potential buyers each year followed by workshops that host only a small portion of those people,” Lewis continued. “By offering StoresOnline Express to preview conference attendees we hope to expand our potential customer base while growing our recurring revenue through hosting and support fees. StoresOnline Express is a perfect launch point for most online entrepreneurs. Now, our preview conferences can also generate revenue from StoresOnline Express, and our workshops will continue delivering the value added solutions and functions of StoresOnline Pro.”
Pricing and Availability
Following its proven model, iMergent began testing at a limited set of workshops in September and at its preview conferences in late October. The company plans on continuing to test its offer of StoresOnline Express to potential customers at the company’s previews and workshops and hopes to roll out this offering in all of its conferences by the end of March 2008, if not sooner. The company also intends to offer StoresOnline Express online through various channels including the “New Features” section of the StoresOnline web site. The software will initially retail for $199 with $24.95 per month for hosting and customer support.
Danks concluded, “We continuously invest in research and innovation to offer cost effective, sophisticated and highly competitive, yet user-friendly technologies. Our philosophy is to provide solutions to entrepreneurs and small companies, at every stage of development, to better manage and maximize their businesses. We are following that philosophy with StoresOnline Express. As the marketplace continues to expand we are poised to lead out and capture this growth with innovative technologies.”
