This really couldn’t be any easier! Commented Pro-Active Websites president Bill Walzak, the preferred distributor updates products daily so a dealer’s Showcase website is always up-to-date. Dealers can then sell from their store stock or send the order to their distributor for fulfillment with a click.” Bill Walzak added, “With a Showcase website, dealers can immediately start selling on the web in just a couple of days, at a very affordable price that anyone can fit in the budget. Get a truly great website and benefit your business for less than the price of a cup of coffee!”
Feb. 06, 2008 — Arlington
Heights, IL. — Pro-Active Software Website Solution won a
“Best in Show - Company to Watch” Award at the winter NAMM
(National Association of Music Merchants) Show 2008, the largest
music products trade show in the United States. Pro-Active
Software was chosen as one of the "hottest" companies because of
its full-featured, turnkey website solution and the highly
effective suite of sales and marketing tools included within the
websites built for music retailers.
A music store owner herself, Liane Rockley, of Rockley Music
selected Pro-Active Software because she was impressed with the
feature-packed program and how it can effectively help music
dealers even the playing field on the Internet. She said, "As a
store owner and advisor to the music industry, I have the
privilege to be on the panel that selects the products and
companies for the 'Best in Show' honors that happens at every
NAMM Trade Show. During my recent search for 5 of my favorite
exciting new products and companies unveiled at the 2008 Winter
NAMM Show, I discovered Pro-Active Software and was extremely
impressed with the bang for the buck this company provides music
retailers.
She also commented on the built in
Affiliate Program Manager that allows dealers to offer discounts
to a wide range of groups. Liane said “for example, the
Affiliate Program has the ability to allow the dealer to provide
a discount to a local school music program and let the director
stay in the loop by logging in to see what students have bought
from the website. If a dealer provides a percentage of the sales
to the school’s music program, the directors can even see how
much is in the account. What a great marketing tool and positive
program for the community! ”
Liane went on to say that “Pro-Active Software and their parent
company, Mechanical Music have over 25 years experience in the
music industry and understands what makes dealers successful.
The websites they create for dealers are attractive, easy to
manage, come pre-loaded with over 100,000 vendor drop-shippable products, and allow you to easily
upload your own products. They even include a suite of powerful
marketing tools to better help you integrate your brick and
mortar business with your website.”
