“Our goal is to make classified advertising as easy and effective as possible for individuals and businesses selling online.” Retrieved from http://www.vflyer.com/main/Guest.jsp

Continuing with the analysis of the marvelous tools that are possible to find in web 2.0, I have found one very useful tool for business owners, especially those who are operating small business options and among these, the huge quantity of businesses that are being operated from home, generally known as home based businesses. It is not hard to imagine that the mentioned entrepreneurial options lack in most of the cases from a big budget and even couldn’t have included on it any amount for advertising. And by the way, this is one of the biggest problems that this kind of business must face; when any form of business is not promoted, the possibility that the business growth is simply minimal; it is a logical consequence: no advertising, no clients, no money and then no resources to continue in the natural cycle of productivity.
It is important to say that most of the small business options advertise on the web, among others because of its lower cost when compared with the traditional publicity, besides the many options to modify on minimal cost and in a short period of time. There are several specialized sites known as “Classified Websites” where the advertiser can publish their ads, but obviously the business owner who has no experience designing ads, needs to get an expert that can assist them in designing professional templates, real eye-catching creations and at very competitive prices. Vflyer is for those companies requiring service of highest standard of quality yet are expecting good prices.
With this online service, the business owner and even the independent professional have the option not just to create standardized ads options but the possibility to post them to the leading classified websites. Vflyer operates both with advanced software and in an environment of creativity that enables the entrepreneur to expose their ad not just to a large audience but the right target.
Opening an account is a very easy process; it can’t take to the interested more than three minutes. An option is available with no cost that offers to the user, absolutely free two listings at a time, two social media widgets and one Craiglist layout, of course this is just a basic option that can be upgraded at anytime, but if the necessity is for a wider option, they offer four more options from $ 12.95 to $ 79.95. In the top of the line alternative they offer 125 listings at a time, 30 sub accounts, 125 social media widgets, 10 Ccraiglist layouts and business features.
But let’s examine some of the most important features of the Vflyer besides of the already referenced:
1. With Vflyer it is possible to post the flyer that has been created to Craiglist and eBay;
2. Vflyer enables the user the option to email the created flyers to the potential customers;
3. Vflyer generates printable PDF version of the flyers that have been created;
4. Vflyer allow the user to create embeddable widgets for their website or blog.
5. The ability to email the fliers to up to 100, on the premium option, recipients at the same time;
6. The option to upload up to 25 pictures per flyer in the premium option.
Many auto dealers regularly use vFlyer as it helps them to stand out from the crowd on sites like Twiter, Facebook and Craiglist, through an easy 1, 2, 3 process, entering vehicle details, uploading photos and the single listing website with Craiglist, Twiter or Facebook is ready and not just everything already mentioned, the option to print the single flyer is automatically uploaded; the same procedure is applicable to the case of different service providers, property managers, real estate offices and many more.
There is an important final precision and it is in regard to the categories of products vFlyer supports and the truth is that the alternatives are numerously; let’s see: Real Estate (Apartments and houses for Rent, Land for sale, Vacation Rentals, etc.); Vehicles; Merchandise: personal Services and so on.
To conclude, I recommend this option for the small business owner and even for the independent professionals; the prices are really affordable and the features exceed in much the needs that normally someone who operates a business could have. Of course this option wouldn’t be discarded for medium and large business options. companies like Alliance, Remax, Century 21, Coldwell Banker, Yahoo autos, my ride and front door among others are users of vFlyer.
