In this AdzZoo Review, I will be going into some information about the company itself, the AdzZoo advertising campaigns, the compensation plan and most importantly, what it takes to be truly successful with a business like AdzZoo.
AdzZoo is an online advertising company that sells advertising to small business owners thorugh a network marketing model. Right now, AdzZoo has more than eight thousand reps and is growing at a rapid pace, due to the efforts of the leaders in the field who are building their businesses through opportunity meetings. Through this network of reps, AdzZoo sells online ads to business owners all over the United States. With over 45 million small business owners in the US alone, there is an obvious market for representatives to target.
What Does AdzZoo Do For Small Business Owners?
With advertising costs going through the roof, smart and savvy business owners are starting to use the internet to advertise their business. Unlike offline forms of marketing where you are putting ads in front of an un-targeted audience, the internet allows business owners to position their ads in search engines, like Google and Yahoo, directly in front of potential customers who are actually searching for them or them or their product. This benefit alone can significantly increase their customer base, simply because they are marketing to a highly targeted audience. On top of this, business owners can actually target potential customers that are demographically local to them, which increases the likelihood of having a spike in walk-in customers. These features can potentially reap more results for a business owner while putting money in their pockets because of the inexpensive costs.
The beauty of this from a customer standpoint is that they can outsource all their advertising to AdzZoo. Instead of getting on a computer for hours each day and attempting to do it by themselves, they can order an on-going ad and let the experts at AdzZoo put their advertising together and monitor it. Thus, freeing them up to focus on building their business.
And as far as competition, the prices that traditional business charge for online advertising are significantly more expensive than the pricing from AdzZoo.Also, there aren't any other network marketing companies (except one) that are offering ads for small businesses. Recently, AdzZoo added Facebook ads and the ability for business owners to text their customers with sales and incentives. Time will tell what this means for the customers, but one thing's for sure, AdzZoo is providing cutting-edge technology to give their reps ammo when they talk to potential customers.
The Company Leadership And Training
The company is headquartered in Georgia and was launched at the end of March 2010. The co-founders have 70+ years of combined experience in the network marketing industry, with four of them coming from and having tremendous success in A.L. Williams, now known as Primerica.With co-founders willing to dip into their own pockets, along with other resources and the fact that AdzZoo is debt free and profitable, it seems that funding will not be a major problem for the company.
The training is pretty much what you would expect from leaders who are from the 80's and 90's era of network marketing. New people are trained to go out and give face-to-face presentations and bring guests to weekly opportunity meetings. There isn't a wide selection of tools that are utilized with the exception of one or two different sales brochures. And as far as internet marketing goes, with the exception of a opportunity webinar done once a week, there really isn't much of a platform for people who want to focus on building a business via the internet. With that said, the training is very good and very professionally done. So if you don't mind approaching friends and family and prospecting people you come into contact with, the marketing model shouldn't be a problem for you.
The AdzZoo Business Opportunity
AdzZoo's comp plan pays out several different ways. There's also an good opportunity to make part-time income just from marketing the ad campaigns. However, just like other network marketing, or multilevel marketing, companies, the big money in the comp plan is only available if you recruit people and build a team of sales reps.So the question you should be asking yourself is: Can you sponsor enough people to build a team? Well, if you are into giving belly-to-belly presentations and approaching your friends and family, then yes you can, as long as you're willing to go to work and invest a tremendous amount of time (which isn't a bad thing). However, if you want to build an AdzZoo business using the internet and working primarily from home, then AdzZoo's internet platform (and just the nature of the service which doesn't require, but works best if you meet the business owner) may not be for you. Don't get me wrong, it can be done but at what cost?
With that said, if you already know business owners and want to sell the ads, you can definately generate a decent income and build a nice residual income.But if you're looking to sponsor people and build a huge organization, it's critical that you find a marketing system you can use otherwise you'll find yourself spending hours at Starbucks or Barnes and Nobles trying to find your next recruit.
In summary, AdzZoo is a very stable and solid business.The co-founders are experienced and make decisions in favor of the reps.The compensation plan is very lucrative as long as you can build a sales team that is willing to go into businesses to promote the advertising packages. However, without the ability generate leads on a daily basis and personally sponsor a large amount of people, you're going to have a hard time building your business.
