Q:  I am interested in becoming a dealer but I don't have a Web Page. Is it required to have a Web Page to set up banners or can I just promote vShoppingCart.com's page you will assign me.

A:   It's not absolutely necessary that you have an existing web page in order to become a dealer and promote vShoppingCart.com products and services offered in the Dealer Programs page. It would, however, be a major advantage. If you have one main page where you can place all the various text and banner links, you only have one page to promote instead of several. Your visitors may also find themselves interested in more than one services and you can therefore earn even greater profits.

Q:  I would like to know how much money I will be making.  How many people that visit your Web Sites actually buy?

A:   According to other Internet marketers we've spoken with, most direct marketing websites are currently experiencing an average click to sale ratio of 1:150 to 1:450. However, vShoppingCart.com's ratio ranges from 1:40 to 1:250. This is of course, still a wide range.  What determines this closing ratio? One factor is the cost of the product or service being purchased. Higher priced products and services typically require more clicks (visitors) to get a sale but yield higher commissions. Lower priced products and services typically require fewer clicks to generate a sale but the profits are also lower. An important factor to remember is that one click does not necessarily represent a unique visitor. Our system has the ability to track IP addresses and we've noticed that many visitors revisit the same page up to a dozen times or more before making their purchase.

Q:  Do I need my own merchant account to process orders?

A:  No. All orders are processed through vShoppingCart.com's secure real-time Internet processing system with vShoppingCart.com's credit card merchant account.

If this is agreeable to you we would be most pleased to welcome you as one of our new dealers.
