OpenEntry is the only e-commerce platform that enables any vendor to participate in one or more "metamarkets" which are aggregations of many individual catalogs. For example, in the sample 9 enterprise country illustrated below, each vendor maintains a single dataset that can be included simultaneously in the metamarkets of the Provincial Chamber of Commerce, Industry Association, and National Export Board.
Normally, vendors face the almost impossible challenge of trying to generate traffic to their site by their own initiative. With OpenEntry , a vendor can access markets via multiple channels while only maintaining one dataset.
- Own initiative - already established contacts, newletters, paid advertizing, etc
- Google and other search engines
- Referrals from Chamber of Commerce metamarket
- Referrals from Industry Association metamarket
- Referrals from the National Export Board
- Referrals from sales reps
- eBay exposure and sales
