Seriously! How Do You Offer a $99 Product?
(Or why does everybody else charge an arm and a leg?)
A few ways we keep our costs way lower than competitors ...
How We Do It:
- We Are Small and Nimble.
We are a small company with a dozen employees. Our overhead and costs are low. We use technology to keep it that way.
- Our Marketing Costs Are Low.
The majority of our advertising is printed on our price tag. The result is that 92% of our new signups are from “Word of Mouth”.
- Our Employees Wear Jeans & T-shirts.
Everything we do is economical. Even our employees are cost-conscious. We hardly ever travel and rarely entertain.
- Our Prices Are Based on Market Costs.
Google “hosting fees” and check out what the typical prices are.
How They Do It:
- They Are Not.
Our competitors are large corporations, often with 100’s of employees. Their overhead is high and you pay for it in their price.
- Theirs? Not So Much.
Our competitors are large corporations who spend thousands on trade shows, magazine and Internet ads. You pay for it in their price.
- They Wear Suits.
Most of our competitors spend lots of money on their sales force, on travel and entertainment. You pay for it in their price.
- Theirs Are on What the Market Will Bear.
Now look at the monthly fees from our competitors … it’s not pretty.
Everywhere, website costs have dropped – EXCEPT in the real estate industry.
In every industry, the cost of website creation, internet services, hosting, SEO, CRM has dropped. So why hasn’t the cost of real estate websites dropped, too?
You have to ask yourself “why?”.
So we did. We wondered why a company like 
can sell its “apps” at 99 cents and still make money? We asked ourselves why do existing real estate websites charge more for “setup” than anybody else charges for their website hosting? It just wasn’t right. So we changed that.
STOP PAYING MORE for websites and tools when everybody else pays LESS.
Don’t believe it? Compare…
Feature by feature we give you more for less!

And at $99, we still make a tidy profit.
If you want to understand just how much extra real estate professionals have been paying for technology, all you need to know is that WebsiteBox can offer you a high quality, fully functional product, with hosting forever, and at $99, we can still make a comfortable profit. That wouldn’t be possible if the existing prices from most real estate website competitors were an accurate reflection of their true costs.
