August 27, 2007 -- A new website, built for the entire Caribbean, enables businesses and
anyone else who wishes to earn some extra money to market themselves on the internet for free. The classifieds ads website found at http://www.waiana.com on the internet was launched on June 4th, 2007, and provides more than 500 categories for anyone to use who is in need of free marketing.
So far the site has been well received given the positive responses from
users and the numbers of ads that has been placed already. Waiana.com is very
appealing to its users, not only because of the layout, which is very easy on
the eyes, but also because no charges are imposed. And no charges will ever de
imposed; not for registering oneself nor for placing an ad. "Not charging a fee
is inherent to our business model. That is because we want to bring to the Caribbean people the experience of free services, just
like Westerners are accustomed to free online services." says the founder and
CEO Mr. Brian Motilall
Until now the website has relied on mouth to mouth marketing, but soon a
widespread marketing campaign in various media will be launched throughout the Caribbean. This campaign will secure Waiana's market
leadership and will be the basis for growth throughout the Caribbean.
Although the website was launched in Guyana
the website is intended to serve as a free marketing medium for the entire Caribbean community, thus giving its current 6 million
internet users the full benefit of the Caribbean Single Market and Economy.
By using this website the local economy will become more transparent and
stronger because local and international buyers and sellers will have a free
and efficient marketplace to trade. And anything can be traded, from new items
offered by businesses to second-hand furniture sought by private persons. Even
vacancies for jobs can be posted for free.
In order to keep the site free for its customers banners will be placed
on the site. Anyone throughout the whole Caribbean
can buy a banner and pay for it online via Paypal. But certain banners will be
made available free of charge.
Only a few months old the site already attracts 5,000+ unique visitors
per month who in turn generate 2,000+ pageviews per day.
Waiana.com is the first in a series of innovative websites which are
focussed on the Caribbean and which are developed by OrangeMills Trading &
Services Ltd (OMTS) in Guyana.
OMTS was founded in 1996 and trades with and provides services to its parent
company in the Netherlands.
