What can your sites do for me?
These websites are ideal lead generation products created for professionals in the real estate, mortgage and related industries. The sites can be developed into a two-way avenue of communication. You can readily be in contact with your target audience, becoming their primary source for local activities, events, tips and real estate information. Your business name and practice will be identified more as a community partner than a business with an advertising message. Visitors are more willing to interact when they know the site is a safe and unbiased source of information for their use. You will also be creating alliances with other area businesses and community sponsors who are also your potential market. For more information, visit our Solutions page. |
| |
What can your products offer visitors of the sites?
Visitors can enjoy a website that represents the interests and concerns of their community, whether it be demographic, geographic, or special interest. They will find it an opportunity to interact with others and develop a communication tool within their community. Content supplies them with various local and national resources, as well as current real estate related information from the site sponsor. For more information, visit our Solutions page. |
| |
What does the monthly sponsorship fee cover?
You will receive much more the exclusive rights to utilize the site. The Toma Group supplies all the necessary web content needed to make your site viable, interactive and successful. We provide regular maintenance, upgrades, updates, constantly changing content, marketing ideas and advice all at no additional charge. |
| |
Will you use my information for any other purposes?
No one other than The Toma Group has access to your email address and other personal information you give us. We do not, and will not, sell or provide this information to any outside organization without your consent. |
| |
Do I have to sign a long-term contract?
No. Our relationship is on a month-to-month basis. If, for some reason you should decide to no longer utilize our services, you must give us a one month advance notice of cancellation so we can find a replacement for your web site. The web sites continue on without your sponsorship. Should you not make a payment, we have the right to replace your sponsorship with another. |
| |
Do you give a grace period?
Yes. We will not replace your sponsorship with another unless you are more than thirty days late on your monthly payment. |
| |
Do you guarantee your prices to remain the same?
With inflationary pressures, pricing can’t be guaranteed indefinitely. However, we do not adjust prices for at least one year after someone begins a sponsorship. |
| |
If I secure co-sponsors for my site, do I get any part of the fees?
Yes. In fact, it doesn't matter whether you secure them or we do. You will get half of the monthly fees received by us by any co-sponsor of your site up to the point whereby your entire fee is paid for. We have designed our pricing structure so that if all co-sponsorships were filled and paid for, your monthly fee would be entirely covered! |
| |
Is it monthly or yearly subscriptions, and do I get a discount if I go yearly?
You are on a month-to-month basis as a sponsor and a quarterly basis as a co-sponsor. There are no discounts for prepaid sponsorships. |
| |
Does The Toma Group monitor the content that goes on the site?
The Toma Group monitors content, discussions, etc. that go on the County, State, and National level Seniors Connected sites only. Once we make note of objectionable content, it will be removed. Abusers of the sites will lose their privileges. The Sponsor should keep an eye on the local sites they sponsor and remove any objectionable content and/or cancel the log in for any particular abuser. Since most of the sites are for internal use of organizations, neighborhoods, clubs, etc. they will generally self-monitor their sites. |
| |
Is there a support line?
We offer free email support with response times generally under four hours on week days. In addition, we provide a 24/7 support line where you can leave us a message. |
| |
Can I see the traffic on my site?
At some point, we plan to provide traffic statistics through your administrative section. We will notify you of all updates and changes such as this. |
| |
Will The Toma Group keep in contact with me even after I sponsor a site?
Absolutely! We want you to be successful and enjoy the benefits we offer. We are constantly sending out marketing tips and other advice on how to maximize the value of your sponsorship. We also provide an online sponsor forum through our main site, www.TheTomaGroup.com. |
| |
Will The Toma Group help with advertising materials and ideas?
Absolutely! We are constantly trying out new ideas that we develop along with others developed by our sponsors. We share these marketing ideas with all of our sponsors on a continual basis. |
| |
If I buy a Seniors, Neighborhood, or other Toma site, will I get first choice of owning other web sites designed specifically for my city?
Yes, as we develop additional TOMA applications, we will announce these ahead of time to our current sponsors and give them an opportunity to secure them. |
| |
If I quit my business, or for some other reason no longer wish to sponsor a particular site, what happens to it?
This is the main reason why we retain ownership of all our sites and pay for the domain renewals each year. Since our sites are built for the use of particular groups, be it Seniors, Clubs, Neighborhoods, or what have you, we want to make sure that the site stays up at all times for their continued use. They will have become dependent on their site and we don't want to disrupt that. We will, of course, seek out a new sponsorship. |
