Some Frequently Asked Questions ~ Page One

1.   What makes SBMS different than other Internet marketing companies?

SBMS is very defined in its area of expertise. At this time, SBMS is offering marketing to manufacturing services companies seeking business in the state of Arizona. We target only manufacturers that would utilize the capabilities of our clients. We try to match client services with manufacturing needs. We recognize that some manufacturers have specific requirements for vendors and we do not market to manufacturers on your behalf if you are not qualified to subcontract services to them.

2.   What are the costs involved?

SBMS offers an all-inclusive marketing package with an affordable low monthly fee. This is based on an annual contract for services. The package includes a web site, collateral advertising materials, quarterly email promotions and the development of a Customer/prospect contact list for you. This list is constantly updated and is used for the promotions, but a master list is also provided for your internal use. A specific proposal is provided after receipt of a SBMS Self Assessment from you which determines whether or not our program is suitable for you.

3.   Do you contact the customers and book orders?

No, we have the responses to the marketing emails sent directly to a designated person within your company for you to provide sales support to the marketing program.

4.   How do you find customers for me?

SBMS has a growing database that we have developed of manufacturing in Arizona. After we assess your capabilities, we build a proprietary list for your personal market. We also add any customer names that you provide to your list and they too receive your quarterly marketing information. We do not add your customer list to the SBMS database. It is only added to your proprietary customer/prospect list. We currently have a contact list of more than 3,300 names.

5.   Why would I want to have SBMS market for me instead of doing it myself?

Because we will get it done and do it every quarter. We will maintain the contact list and add additional contacts as we make them. You cannot build a web site, provide collateral materials, maintain a contact list and do regular email blasts for the small all inclusive fee that SBMS charges. We have our own developed mailing list of Arizona based manufacturing companies.

6.   Why is SBMS located in Luperon in the Dominican Republic?

Gil McWhirter sold a thriving electronic rent-to-own business in Canada and decided to look at the import/export business in the Caribbean. After sailing into the Luperon harbor, he decided to settle there and opened up a brokerage firm selling boats, yachts and property. He set up a web site at Luperon Yachts Boats and Property and markets internationally through his web site. He also is a stockholder in the Luperon Hills Gated Community project in Luperon. Dave Duncan relocated to Luperon after many discussions with Gil and a tremendous amount of Dominican Republic research. The two decided to launch SBMS together. The Dominican Republic is a high growth country presenting many opportunities for sound investment and for doing international business.
