Description

Happycustomers.com.au a new social network for customers sharing product reviews with each other is up for sale.

The sale comprises of the two sites, happycustomers101.com and the australia beta site happycustomers.com.au

Both sites have been established through the development preriod since 2005 and recently the happycustomers.com.au site has gone live as of Jan 2008.

This beta site is where you can see how it works. Membership is free and users can write reviews on their favorite places to shop, dine or do whatever.

There are also great Free Offers that business members have to give away to the site visitors (review writing members)  as an accompaniment to their customer reviews.

Users can search by suburb, or product ie. joes italian north sydney to find local shops or services that come highly recommended by tight network circles.

I began this project back in the end of 2004 as a part-time effort and finally launched the Australian version this year. All my time and effort went into creating this site and I have no money left to promote it, so I have decided the best thing to do is to sell the site with all the code, customers, clients and back end management so that someone can set it live for the US market where it can earn a solid income.

There will be a code modification cost so that the site is compatible with all US zipcodes and cities. This has been quoted to cost at $3,000 by my programmers who are situated in the Ukraine, who I have had an uninterrupted pleasure of supply for this and other projects since 2000.

The potential for this site is huge as similar sites in the US are very popular. Yelp.com and brownbook.net are comparitive sites to check on alexa.com, you will see brownbook.net is in the top 50K sites and yelp.com is 609 which right up there.

 What happycustomers does uniquely is that it not only gives users a place to say what they think about products and services they have used but it allows them to benefit from their friends relationships to other great businesses via the Free Offers.

 For business owners this gives a unique way of tapping into the networks of potential customers that typically lie beyond their reach. Getting your happy customers to talk to friends to recommend you and your goods or services is what it is all about.

 Our slogan, “Happy Customers – Word of Mouth Made Easy”

Reason for sale, I am just out of money and steam here which is disappointing but it is time to move and let someone else take hold of this opportunity.

The total programming costs have run to approximately $20K USD, and I am prepared to let it go for a lot less than what I have paid. I can transfer the mysql tables and the hosting can go on your servers via a disc in the post. I has been hosted on a Linux Red Hat, MySQL and PHP environment.

Good luck with your bid.

 

Revenue Details

The site earns revenue from business owners who are paying for a monthly or yearly membership. They are allowed to promote their business via invitations to their customers and free offers on the site.

Some review members can pay a premium to access advanced features and privileges on the site with free offers.

Many of the current clients are on an introductory special and this is coming up for renewal in Jan/Feb 2009, so how many will renew is uncertain but the real potential here is not the beta Australian market but the US.

Traffic Details

The total traffic which is small, is derived purely from word of mouth. We have not had a budget to promote the site, and as the beta site is in Australia the numbers are miniscule.

With the right promotion this site will attract  large numbers purely based on the user value alone.
