Are Websites DEAD? - Long live the Internet! It's a sad truth that when websites were few and far between, they drove customers to businesses. Today, 85% to 95% of all websites are dormant, and human beings do not read half of all online adverts. It's now easy to build websites and create online adverts. This has led to the Internet being overcrowded by 1.5 billion plus dormant websites that were never found, not once, on an Internet search. Globally, the hopes and expectations of SMEs for a better springboard to success lie in the discovery of the Webo Way.   The Webo Way sees Buyers and Browsers going local by county, state, city and/or postal code and then presents an option to drill down through category filters to present options that buyers can say YES to!   On the other hand, sellers excite, retain and grow with Coupon, Loyalty and Referral Marketing. With millions of expectant hits, we will bring the World to shop local markets, only to return with their discoveries to the Global Marketplace.

• Lower Costs: We're an online marketplace. We reduce the overhead expenses of Sellers, such as rent, inventory and marketing, and pass on the savings to Buyers, who may be looking for cheaper alternatives in times of financial stress.
  • We offer Sellers a FREE showcase for Buyers to "window shop" contact details, sharable marketing flyers and twenty pictures of their wares or services. 
  • Sellers can load their content; a head and shoulder shot of themselves, contact details and twenty pictures (Click Here). DIY Product/Service SHOWCASES and DIY About Us Business Listings are free. Sellers can request a showcase linked to a Business Listing aka Biz Page, to be built for them for a small fee (Click here).
  • In addition to the FREE Options, Sellers can upgrade their listings on a Marketplace to activate individual deals, coupons, loyalty and referral marketing campaigns without the expense of building a dedicated platform to host unlimited campaigns on their own branded eBusiness, eCommerce and eMarketing platforms.

• Greater Convenience: Our Online Local Marketplace enables buyers and sellers to transact anytime, from anywhere, without the hassle of travelling, parking or queuing. Sellers can work from home (WFM) and offer fast delivery, online payment checkouts, all without the hassle of setting up their own eCommerce Website.
  •  WFM and brick-and-mortar (BAM) stores can list products and services on the marketplace without listing fees at a processing fee of fifteen per cent of the selling price, excluding bank charges charged by the seller's bank.
  • Sellers can offer and charge (or not charge) for delivery to the buyer. Alternatively, Buyers can collect at a defined address at a designated time confirmed as a part of the Webo checkout, e.g. "I'll collect at ABC Store Carpark, Bay 67, at 5-30pm."

• More Vital Trust: The "CPTnorthernHOOD" Marketplace is an independent online local marketplace business run by a resident, Samantha Foxon, who will, among other things, foster trust and loyalty among buyers and sellers by providing ratings, reviews, verification and dispute resolution mechanisms.

• Leveraged Social Media Marketing:  Every showcase and every product or service listed is integrated with social media links to leverage the power of social networks and word-of-mouth to build a sense of community and belonging.

• Collective Marketing: The CPTnorthernHOOD Marketplace has an advanced digital marketing toolset to EXCITE trade with managed and tracked coupon special offers and deals. RETAIN customer loyalty with loyalty points earned while on vacation that can be used with participating marketing partners anywhere. GROW with rewards for adding reviews and referrals online. Yes, we have a range of non-financial rewards that may be "the next best read" a buyer will thank you for.

• Why "The CPTnorthernHOOD Marketplace?": We will create new sources of income and employment for sellers, especially micro businesses that may be marginalised, informal or underemployed residents, and more can discuss how our free offers can benefit micro work-from-home enterprises. 

• Market Reach:  Webo takes local markets to the World and the World to local markets. We help sellers access new markets and customers beyond J Bay through the benefits of trading on the international www.webo.directory marketplace.
