Subscription Packages
Home Party Registry offers five distinct subscription packages. The product matrix below outlines the features included in each. A detailed explaination of each feature is listed further below.

Coverage Area
Lets start with the most often asked question... How much?
- Basic Hometown FREE! - Our first package is targeted to a subscribers home zip code. If their zip code is searched from any one of our affiliate websites, their information is displayed. This is our entry level subscription and it costs nothing to join! Who says online advertising is expensive?
- Basic Local $19.95 - We consider "local" to be areas within 10 miles of a subscribers location. This package will return a subscribers info anytime a zip code within 10 miles is searched upon.
- Regional Premium $39.95 - increases a subscribers coverage area to a 100 mile radius from their location. This package provides greater exposure for the subscriber, reaching a much larger audience of people. This package also adds all the premium features to the subscription.
- Regional Plus Premium $59.95 - 100 miles not enough but your not quite nationwide? The Regional Plus Subscription increases a subscribers coverage area to a 200 mile radius. This package also adds all the premium features to the subscription.
- National Premium $79.95 - is our largest offering. This is mostly utilized by consultants who are actively recruiting new members to join their team. Since proximity isn't as important in this case, their information will be accessible via any valid US zip code.
Inclusion in the Home Party Registry Database
We officially launched our service on May 1st of
2006. Only a month later we already had our 300th subscriber
- and now we're well over 1000. Many home party
consultants just like you have seen the value our service can provide
their business. Our "strength in numbers" approach to independent
consultant advertsing breaks the mold of our predicessors. Websites
that allow only one-rep-per-company doesn't provide much of a service to
someone in search of a local consultant...
Advertising on All Affiliate Websites
The Home Party Registry database is utilized
on multiple industry related websites. The ability for a consultant to
subscribe to one service but have multiple areas of exposure is a great
asset. Each website is specifically targeted towards different types of
visitors. Whether it is an individual looking to book a party or someone
looking to start their own home based business, each website will provide
your information quickly and easily.
Localized Zip Code Based Listing
At the heart of the Home Party Registry Database is the zip code based
consultant locator feature. Visitors utilize our search sites by
simply entering in their zip code to locate consultants that service their
area. It's a simple concept but you'd be surprised how many
"consultant locator" websites don't get it. Many offer "exclusive"
advertising only allowing one consultant per company to advertise on the
site. But think about it, a potential client looking to hold a party
in Nebraska is out of luck if the "exclusive" consultant is located in
Miami.
Our methods are different... It's the strength-in-numbers approach to advertising. The more consultants who sign up to Home Party Registry, the stronger it becomes for its subscribers! It becomes the one-stop-shopping website for anybody in search of a local consultant.
Secure Email Contact
Unlike other consultant locator websites, we do not publish your e-mail
address. We provide a short "contact page" that a client
will fill out and submit. The e-mail you receive actually
comes from the database so your address is never exposed to the
public. Our service is designed to increase your business...not your
spam.
Consultant Dashboard
The Consultant Dashboard is the management page
for an account. Subscribers can log in to manage their
account and view their search activity results. It's the
feedback that you just can't find from other advertising options.
Ever pay to place a banner ad on an industry related website
somewhere? Did the site provide you with a tool to learn how many
times the ad was viewed? ...Or how many times it was clicked?
...Or the date and time it happened? We're guessing...NO! And
that's why we provide a tool for immedate feedback about how your listing is
performing.
Search Hit Reporting
We want to our subscribers to be able to see what type of activity their listing
has been receiving. We keep record of every search that
returns a subscribers contact information. We note the date it was presented, the searching
website and the search criteria used (specific zip code , specific company,
etc.)
Personal Website Click-thru Tracking
Subscribers who provide their personal website address
can benefit even further from our service. The link can drive
traffic to their website helping to give more online exposure
to their business. We track every click to a users website so they
can see the amount of visitors they are receiving as a direct result
of their Home Party Registry membership. Likewise, adding a
personal website link can benefit the subscriber since our websites are visited
daily by "search spiders", the automated processes that index
websites for search engines such as Google, Yahoo, MSN and many
others. These spiders can follow the links to index their site as
well, giving them a greater chance of ranking on the search
engine.
Consultant Bio
Our Consultant Bio functionality is an incredibly useful marketing
tool. It transforms a simple online ad into a virtual
soapbox for all to see. Subscribers are given the perfect
opportunity to "sell" themselves by giving insight about their busniess,
their products and even themselves using their own words. It provides a
prospective client a chance to learn about the consultant and
definately increases their chance of being
contacted.
Online eLibrary
When you get right down to it, we want our service to help subscribers
earn money...plain and simple. So we also provide an online library
of eBooks available for download (and to be resold!). Our
eLibrary contains business related books to help small business
owners excel in their field. And most eBooks come with complete
resell rights so a subscriber can sell them on their own website as
well! The approximate value of our current eLibrary is about $100
and we're still adding to it! So our subscribers can earn by gaining
business through advertising, they can gain knowledge through our eBooks
and they can earn money by selling them!
Client Feedback
In an industry that relies heavily on word of
mouth advertising, the consultant feedback functionality is a perfect
extension. When a potential client searches to find a subscribers
information they'll also find any feedback that has been left by past
clients. Nothing sells better than a good word from past
customers. So why not use that to an advantage! The client
feedback process is built right into the subscription so its as simple as
creating a feedback request and sending it to a client. The client
clicks the enclosed link and completes the form. When the process is
complete the subscriber has gained even more creditibility for their
business. Its a wonderful tool to utilize.
Affiliate Rewards
Subscribed members can extend their membership by 3 months for every
new subscriber they refer to Home Party Registry. Its as easy as
adding one of our banners to their existing personal website.
There are no affiliate sign up fees, and no minimum requirements to
meet. And of course we offer a complete suite of tools to track the
clicks that are sent our way.
