Since its introduction in
September 2000, AlpacaNation has quickly become an industry standard for
alpaca marketing on the Internet. Visitors enjoy the convenience of
browsing the industry's top alpaca breeders and thousands of alpaca and herdsire listings from the
comfort of their home.
AlpacaNation attributes much of its success to the members
themselves. Their valuable feedback and advice continue to make AN a
useful marketing tool and a greater asset to the alpaca industry with
every new year.
In addition, we believe the following qualities about AN have greatly
contributed to its success:
Ease of Use
A
new member recently wrote on the day they joined AlpacaNation,
"I am really enjoying AN and can't believe I waited this long to
join." Most of our members have heard that AlpacaNation is easy
to use, but they don't fully realize how easy it is (even for the computer
challenged) until they
join. AlpacaNation gives the breeder the ability to keep a current
and accurate sales list in a dynamic business environment.
Full Service
Our
suite of services is constantly expanding to fit the growing needs of
alpaca breeders. AlpacaNation provides the alpaca breeder with an
opportunity to advertise all aspects of their business. Farm and
alpaca listings are only the beginning... our members have access to
contact lists, direct inquiry leads, e-mail marketing, their own on-line
storefront, product and service listings, and more.

Customer Service
AlpacaNation
prides itself on its customer service. We routinely hear that our
customer service and responsiveness is what sets us apart from other
advertising options. Hands-on customer service is available at
virtually all times and is only an e-mail or phone call away.
Over 40,000,000 Page Views A
Year
Our continuous effort to drive additional traffic to AN has resulted in hundreds
of thousands of visitors and millions of pages viewed each
year. This type of traffic translates into sales and sales leads for
our members.
Advertising
AN
advertises through search engines, email and print magazines. As a
result, AlpacaNation is recognized as an industry wide resource for new
and experienced breeders. We are seeing more and more unsolicited references
and referrals to AlpacaNation around the industry.
Pricing
Our
business model is straightforward and easy to understand. There are
no complex membership levels, commissions or consignment
requirements. A simple and affordable fee is the only requirement
for a year's membership. Unlike other advertising options, we
provide our members with the ability to directly measure the return on
their membership fee through hit counters on all listings. (See
