The Trading Town Network allows you to have all the benefits of running your own business without the need for you to find your own premises, funding for your business or the worry of buying a franchise that does not work. In fact, there is no Franchise Fee, or Set up fee.
By becoming an agent with the Trading Towns Network, you receive all the benefits of having your own business without the expense.
After 12 months of being an agent and watching your business grow and your income expand, you can if you wish decide to buy a Trading Town Franchise or you can stay as an agent, but there is no rule that says that you have to buy the franchise after 12 months. We are very happy for you to be an agent for as many years as you would like.
The reason we have brought this system out, is to allow people who have the skill, determination and the quality to run their own business, but do not have the funds to do so.
If you decide to join The Trading Town Network, you do not only get to run your own local community website, you are also given your own local glossy high quality magazine to run, without paying a franchise fee.
Imagine writing for your own website and magazine.
Imagine being invited to events that you would not normally being invited to.
Imagine, being asked to attend your local theatre to do a review, or going to an entertainment venue with your family to do a review for your magazine and website.
With the Trading Town Network, this will happen.
The Trading Town Network Lifestyle magazine IS A HIGH QUALITY GLOSSY A5 LIFESTYLE MAGAZINE WITH HIGH QUALITY ARTICLES AND CELEBRITY INTERVIEWS SERVING YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITY. And wait for it… We provide all the content for the magazine, pay for the magazine to be designed and we also pay for the printing of the magazine.
But First of all I would like to tell you about The Trading Towns Network of Community Websites and then I would like to tell you more about your chance to run your own local magazine.
As you will see our Trading Town's Network differs from pure business listing directories you may know about: e.g. Yell and Thomson local etc. We offer a far more sophisticated source of local information for local people.
We believe in quality, we believe in giving our visitors to The Trading Towns Community website, a quality website with great sections which include The Business Club, The Health Club, The Lifestyle Club and the very best in articles that includes celebrity Interviews. We also believe in giving our advertisers a quality and high traffic website where they can advertise their products and services at a very cost effective rate where they receive real results.
So what you really want to know is "what is this Trading Town's concept all about?"
Well think of us as your Online Town Square, the place to go to find out about…………..well just about anything!
So why are we unique? Well unlike other online business directories, we are not a one-trick-pony. Let me explain why:
Business Adverts
Our website has a fantastic business directory, offering any local business a basic business listing free of charge. This is vital to keep your website interesting. You need local people to start to use your site instead of the paper directories like The Yellow Pages, so you need your business listings site to be full. The Trading Fareham website has over 2000 businesses on the business listings directory - a great resource for local people.
Then for the more pro-active businesses we offer a full-page business advert which includes contact details, website and email link, logo and up to 400 words to advertise their products and services.
How would a local business generate more business from advertising on one of our sites instead of the more traditional print media? Well the answer is with our interactive adverts. Our Website is unique in being able to offer businesses editable adverts. With access to their listing any time of the day or night, they can quickly and easily amend their adverts to promote a new service or product, a special offer or a great testimonial - instantly!
And for you - ever changing content to make your website so much more interesting to the local population!
Homes for Sale
Our websites offer local people a fantastic service. They can advertise their home for sale privately online for Free! Yes you heard it right! For free!
Personally for me - this is one the best bits about the Trading Towns' concept. When we sold our flat in London 3 years ago, it sold within 5 days from someone seeing it on the Right move website. Basically all our estate agent had done was put some photo's and details on this website (which I love by the way) and we paid over £10,000 for the privilege! I just wish I had had this idea back then!
Our websites will offer basic listings for free and a full page detailed advert for a fixed fee (saving themselves thousands of pounds in unnecessary agency fees!).
We have great plans for the Homes for Sale side of the website, I'll tell you more when we chat.
Classifieds
We offer local people a great service - the opportunity to recycle their unused or unwanted stuff - helping keep the planet green!
This service is always free of charge - great reason for your users to come back again and again!
Jobs
We offer local employers and local employment agencies the opportunity to advertise their job vacancies free of charge. This is a great resource for local job seekers (and lets face it who isn't in the market for a new job at one any time!).
Once your website is a roaring success you can start charging for this service if you wish - say £20 per job advert - one of the most successful national job websites charges employers £300 for one advert, so you will be doing them a favour!
Local News and Events
Your local population will be able to add details of local news and events to your website free of charge - what a valuable service to be able to offer your town.
Forum
We are in the process of adding a forum to the website. A crucial part of the website that will get people hooked.
We have loads more plans for the future, we are brimming over with ideas = it is a very exciting time here at The Trading Network Group.
So why are we different from any other business opportunity you may have seen?
Well how about No Franchise Fee or Set Up Fee required! How about gaining your own website and not having to pay for a full 30 days.
And if that is not enough, how about not only being able to run your own Local Community Website, how about being able to run your own local glossy high quality magazine as well.
Also Content is King! We have entered into a great relationship with the Lightload Magazine group to provide our site managers with great articles per month for great content on their website.
This content will be added through our content management system and will be updated daily, weekly and monthly. This will come within the monthly licensing fee of £350 per month.
Self-publishing!
Do you want to know what is the best thing about the Trading Towns' Websites? Every section has "Self-Publishing" - meaning that your local population submits their adverts directly to the website, creating almost all the content for your site by themselves!
Apart from having to approve adverts before they are published on the site by clicking on a button, your neighbours do all the work for you! Leaving you time to go out and market the services you provide and let people know about your Trading Town website!
Trading Lifestyle Magazine
Trading Town Lifestyle magazine is an exciting high quality A5 magazine filled with True Stories, Celebrity Interviews, Fashion, Property and high quality features, making it an exciting and enjoyable read.
People will pick up your magazine and read it from the front cover to the back cover, enjoying all the high quality articles, not realising that they are reading a Free local magazine. With the high quality, your Lifestyle magazine feels and looks like a national glossy magazine that you would pay for.
Our team of writers make sure that your magazine receives all the best celebrity interviews and articles that are normally only available to national magazines.
What makes Trading Town Lifestyle magazine different from other local magazines?
1. High Quality Articles
2. Glossy Magazine
3. Great Competitions
4. High Quality Finish
Each edition of you glossy magazine is designed for you by our team of experienced Graphic Designers with High Quality Articles, Features, Celebrity Interviews and Topical Articles, that are delivered to your local community.
You are provided with a High Quality magazine that will allow you to easily sell the advertising space in the magazine and providing your local community with their own high quality magazine.
Each monthly edition will be designed and printed for you and as well as receiving the a digital version of the magazine that is put onto your website.
Unlike other magazine franchises, we do not send you templates through the post and tell you to do all the designs your self and expect you to put all the magazine together without any decent content and then expect you to find a good printer to have your magazine printed. We will provide you with great content which includes interviews with High Profile Celebrities, Fashion Articles and True Life Stories, as well as designing the magazine for you, proofreading the magazine including any articles that you wish to write for the magazine, and also having the magazine printed to the highest of quality.
Your magazine will contain
Celebrity Interviews, Fashion Articles, True Life Stories, Health and Well Being, Topical Features, Local Articles, Music and Entertainment, as well as competitions.
All you need to do is to obtain the advertisements from potential customers and we will arrange to place them into the magazine. If the customer does not have their own advertisement ready made, then we can arrange to design their advert for them.
We encourage agents to write at least five articles for their magazine, looking at local issues to make their magazine even more relevant to their local area. If at first you are to nervous to do this, then we can arrange to write local articles for you until you are able to write them yourself.
Remember this is your magazine; if you would like to write more than five articles then you can do, and we will help you ever step of the way
COST EFFECTIVE ADVERTISING
Another thing that makes your Trading Town Network magazine special is the cost effective advertising in our unique publication. Every company and business needs to do some sort of advertising to strengthen there brand and to increase their customer base and revenue, but how many local companies can afford to place an advert in their local paper at a average cost of around £1000 for a full page?
You will be offering your local business owner a valuable service at an amazing low cost and reasonable rate, helping them to gain a huge impact for little money.
Companies who advertise in our publication will not be looking at a huge cost of £1000 for a full page, they can advertise in a glossy, colour, high quality publication for as little as £150, making your magazine a very powerful and cost effective way to advertise.
With you running your own Trading Town Network community website and Magazine, you can offer your potential customers a great package that your competitors cannot.
You could offer your potential customer a full page advert in your glossy magazine and also an advert on your website for an incredible £150
What we say is, each page in your magazine can be sold for £200 and within this price, you can offer your customers an advert on your website. Or you can give your customers discount, it is your magazine so it is up to you.
Imagine being able to advertise in a high quality, high traffic community website and in a high quality magazine for only £150, yes that is right £150
We can afford to make advertising in our publication very cost effective, because we have the buying power to reduce printing cost and because all the design and layout of the magazine including content is done in house. This allows us to pass on the saving to your clients.
You will see a number of small magazines around the country; some are produced and printed at home, making the publication look cheap. Also you will see other franchised
magazines around the country that are designed at home using supplied templates with again little or no content. These templates are standard and do not allow the magazine to have a strong identity and without any content, the magazine lacks the readership and the client pays for advertising that is not working because the targeted audience is not reading the magazine.
As you will know yourself, you will only read a magazine that has real, interesting, high quality content, and without it, you will not read the magazine, hence not looking at the advertising in the magazine. Your client needs to know that they are going to be advertising in a publication where they can be guaranteed that the reader will see their advert, and with out magazine having strong quality content, your clients will be pleased that the people who receive the magazine will read the publication.
Your magazine will not be page after page of adverts, making it look like a cheap tacky directory, it will have high quality content alongside high quality adverts, making your publication stand out from the crowd and allowing you to gain lots of clients who want to advertise in a cost effective popular publication.
Remember: Your publication is High Quality. Your content is High Quality. Your advertising rates are Cost Effective. Your publication stands out from the crowd.
A lot of people would love to have their own business, but the realistic prospect of the majority of people owning and running their own business is slim. The reason for this is:
1. No Capital
2. No Experience
3. No support network
4. No Confidence
We wanted to bring out a system where people can run their own business without the need for an outlay. This will allow the people who have all the qualities to run a successful business, the chance to run and expand their business with the full support of our company.
Finding the outlay to start a business is hard, forget all the adverts that say the banks are there for you, there are not, they are there for themselves. It is getting harder and harder to convince a bank to support your business, unless you can show them that, A) You do not need the money or B) That your business will return a huge return on their investment in the shortest of time. So we wanted to allow people to start a business without the worry of finding the outlay, hence allowing them to go straight into the business and concentrate on expanding that business.
Unlike lots of Franchises out there who want you to invest in a product or service that you have not tried out, hoping that your need to become self employed will encourage you to part with your hard earned cash, we allow you to try our product before you consider becoming a franchise holder.
Although you have the option of becoming a franchise holder, there is no rule that you have to buy the franchise, you can simply continue to be an agent and run your successful business. But if you would like to after 12 months of running your successful business, you can if you wish buy the franchise to gain you even more revenue and allow you to sell the franchise on at a later date.
With being an agent, you get the best of both worlds. You receive a business that will bring you a high return for your invested time while at the same time having the full support of our company for no outlay.
We pay for everything for you, we pay for the printing of the magazine, we pay our staff to design you a high quality magazine, and we pay our staff to provide you with high quality
