MergerNetwork is a fantastic marketing tool for sellers. Here's why:
- It's Free.
Unlike other web sites that charge you up to $200 to advertise a business for two months, MergerNetwork is free. There are absolutely no listing fees or commissions, and no limits on the number of businesses that you can list. MergerNetwork can do this because it gets almost all of its revenues from membership fees paid by buyers.
- Huge Audience Of Buyers.
MergerNetwork has over 200,000 registered members and over 80% of them are buyers. According to Quantcast.com, the MergerNetwork web site had 101,769 unique US visitors in May 2007, which ranks it second among all business for sale web sites worldwide.
- Screens Out Unqualified Buyers.
Unlike other web sites, MergerNetwork requires buyers to pay a membership fee to view the contact information for listings. This effectively screens out buyers who aren't serious about buying a business and who can waste a lot of your time with requests for information. According to one seller who advertises on all of the leading web sites, 90% of the inquiries that she receives on MergerNetwork come from serious buyers versus about 10% for other sites.
- Proactive Marketing.
MergerNetwork doesn't wait for buyers to find your listing on their own, which may or may not happen. Instead, MergerNetwork uses its advanced MatchListing technology to find the best buyers for your business and then it recommends your business to these buyers. MergerNetwork is the only web site to proactively market listings in this way.
- Research Tools.
MergerNetwork has an excellent slate of research tools, including Market Strength Reports and Ratio Reports. Use them to price your business and improve the responses to your listing.
