why you should be listed
If you are closely involved with products like
being a manufacturer, distributor, sole NZ agent (see our list)
and you wish the public to know about you, then obviously you should be
listed here, moreover since a free listing is really free. But there are
compelling reasons to take it a step further and to invest a little:
-
If you are a small manufacturer with a niche product,
then there's no better place than in a'Court's database. How else could
you reach such a large audience all over the country, day and night?
-
Are you a manufacturer and retailer in one, selling
from the 'factory floor'? There's no better value for money than spending
it here.
-
You are a big company, spending a vast advertising/marketing
budget. You have your salesmen, your fixed customers and your sales channels.
You wouldn't need aCourts. Think again: Where would people be able to read
about you in an objective way? Where would they be able to obtain dependable
information that benefits them?
-
You have your own web site, with all the bells and
whistles. Make sure people find it by having an Internet link here.
-
Use our pictorial home pages to display your products
and services, even if you already have your own home page on the Internet.
In this manner, your display ads will be distributed on our CD-ROM.
-
You wish to take advantage of the growth of the
Internet. One dollar this year, makes two dollars next, four dollars the
following year.
-
You wish to reach a public that is driven by interest,
wanting to know, having a bit of money. Here is the place.
-
You wish to reach overseas buyers. Our website is
advertised intensively here and abroad.

submit free
information (free listing)
You can submit a free listing from the Internet
by filling out the submission form. Take time to get it right. Think about
how others will search for your products. Don't forget that we need to
confirm the listing with you, so give complete telephone, fax and address
information. In the 'about'
document you can read more about the information we seek from you.

form.

why you should
be bold-listed
You can be bold-listed in several ways. The first
and most obvious method is to bold-list in the companies section. In fact,
this is a pre-requisit. Once that is done, you may wish to bold-list the
most important brands, which is in addition to your bold company listing.
Read more about this.
Finally you can have your own home page with us, complete with graphics
and colour. Here are some reasons for going bold:
-
Make your product stand out amongst others.
-
Give more information to enable prospective buyers
to make informed decisions.
-
A bold entry gives confidence to the buyer. It tells
him that you believe in the product.
-
With a bold listing you can support your branches
and make your presence known country-wise.
-
Bold listings provide your products with fast links,
straight to your company information or web site.
Entering the information about your company may
be time-consuming, particularly when assigning brands to their product
classifications. But it pays to do it well. Click here for the Bold
Form.

why you
should have a home page with us
-
a'Court's is by far the best place for people to
find you.
-
Your web site is being looked after. No worries.
-
It provides good value for money.
-
Now you can show the product, list its specifications
and demonstrate how to use it.
-
You can refer users to qualified repair and support
centres.
-
Your web site gives support to your salesmen.
-
You can update it monthly.
If you want to get the best value out of your home
page, make sure you give the customer the best value in information. Remember,
when a prospective user clicks on it, it stands on its own. No other pages
around. You don't need to 'shout' any longer. Here is a list
of home pages to give you a better idea.

When
are our deadlines?
The Internet is updated monthly but the book
is printed in January. The deadline for information is the last week of
November. The CD is produced at the same time as the book. On special request,
up-to-date CDs can be obtained in mid-season.

How is
your submission handled?
After you have filled in the required form(s),
the submit button sends it by e-mail to our office. Here the information
will be looked at by our staff. They will contact you for confirmation,
in order that others do not supply harmful information about you. Then
the computer files are updated, semi-automatically.
You will be sent a proof sheet and be billed
if it wasn't a free listing or if you ordered a book or CD. If there are
complications, you will be visited by one of our experienced salesmen.
The following month you will be able to verify
your information on our web site.
