“SoBiz10 was designed to be a social networking one-stop-shop to provide
businesses all of the modern day communications tools to speak to their
existing customer base, while reaching more prospective customers through
the shared network of social media,” said Marion Mariathasan, Founder of
SoBiz10.
Just as Facebook is designed for finding friends, making new friends and
contacts, and communicating with those friends and contacts, SoBiz10 is the
only social network designed for businesses to communicate with customers
and customers to communicate with businesses. The SoBiz10 community is built
entirely around members’ interest in what their favorite businesses are
doing, offering and saying. Members can receive e-mails about new products
or services, job postings, coupons, promotions, catalogues, special events
and more – all with a few clicks.
Businesses also benefit from SoBiz10’s networking capabilities because
they have the ability to communicate, connect and market to existing
customers, potential new customers and other merchants in their
neighborhood. They can keep in touch through SoBiz10’s carefully tailored
networking, marketing and advertising features without being intrusive and
while respecting members’ privacy. In addition to outbound communications,
businesses will benefit from the referrals and cross-networking of their
customers, and customers of other merchants, driving traffic to their
websites and to their stores.
“Whereas Yelp and other similar business directory sites simply allow the
merchant to post profiles for a fee, SoBiz10 merchants create a profile that
will serve as a Web page through which they can readily market, advertise,
promote and perform just about any marketing function necessary to
effectively drive traffic and generate additional revenue,” continues
Mariathasan. “With SoBiz10, small businesses get the power of social
networking with an easy to use marketing tool that can simplify marketing to
5 minutes per day.”
Businesses interested in joining the SoBiz10 network and beginning to
take advantage of social networking to build their business can search for
their business profile off the SoBiz10.com home page and “claim their
profile” or establish a new profile for free at www.SoBiz10.com. From the
Become a Merchant page, the site provides a step-by-step PDF guide to
creating a profile and using the communications tools for promotion which
