Providers’ pages

A provider can select if registered or not.

If not registered, the provider can either select to browse the listings, information on registration fees and benefits and request more information. He or she can also register and pay.

If the potential party provider decides to register, he or she will select a plan.

Silver: listing and booking only

Gold: the above plus one page website to promote services. The providers can make their own website or order our services, plus this provider will appear in a more relevant place on listing than the silver status providers.

Platinum. Gold plus more visibility, perhaps some banners or something similar

Partners: These are big companies such as ToysRUs. We will pursue their partnerships and have special arrangements to offer their services.

If registered the provider can access his own panel control:

Access the booking system

Order more advertising

Offer specials, make changes to his/her services or prices etc.

Look at their sales, invoice, payments, etc..
