ODESSA, FL -- The term Franchise is associated with businesses like McDonalds, Starbucks, and Jiffy Lube. People
frequent these establishments because they can expect a certain level of service. Franchises provide the public
with consistency, reliability, and quality. It's astounding that the concept of franchising on the Internet hasn't
been taken advantage of… until now.
FreeTilitSells announces a new way of conducting business on the web called Netchising. Much like in a franchise, Netchise owners share the same trade name and business system. According to Mike Manoske, owner of Timeshare Values (www.timesharevalues.com) and the Timeshares category on FreeTilitSells (www.freetilitsells.com), "the site is offering much more than a place to put property. Their focus is strong on communication between buyer and seller, and community building. FreeTilitSells goes well beyond most services offered in our market."
FreeTilitSells is quickly taking off by using this system in its multi-category transaction site. Since its unveiling in June of 2001 FreeTilitSells is well on its way. The site already has 15 Netchise Owners located nationally and over 9,000 listed items ranging from collectible toys to timeshares. Anthony Gaeto, co-founder and president of FreeTilitSells projects that, "Of the 2,000 available categories, 100 will be sold by the middle of the 1st quarter."
Up until now, no other site has been able to combine the name recognition of a large site with the personal guidance of a small one. The implementing of Netchise Owners allows FreeTilitSells to accomplish just that. Netchisees who are licensed through FreeTilitSells are able to distinguish themselves from other on-line shopping sites by offering their expertise in a manner that will enhance the shopping experience of on-line buyers. Ensuring that such a market system is in place, FreeTilitSells puts every Netchise applicant through a thorough process. Each Netchise Owner is researched. FreeTilitSells recruits successful entrepreneurs with an established reputation in their field and a past history of ethical performance. To further qualify each potential owner, FreeTilitSells requires an application submittal and an over-the-phone interview. Lastly, a credibility index rating is generated on each user transaction, giving buyers and sellers alike the information they need to deal confidently on FreeTilitSells.
According to Gaeto, ""Now that 70 percent of adults have access to the Internet, it has become a vehicle for providing worldwide exposure to potential customers, with substantially reduced transaction costs." FreeTilitSells' has taken on the challenge to make potential buyers and sellers alike more receptive to the consistency, reliability, and quality an on-line shopping site can offer.
