Here’s a graphic showing how the program works:

Resellers use our program to create marketing content for their own clients. They then sell this content to their clients at the regular price.  After they bring on 3 clients, they start earning 30% on each client they subscribe, or if the Reseller is paying, he or she gets a 30% discount for each client account.

Benefits of the program:

1. vFlyer’s platform is intuitive yet powerful.  Both of vFlyer’s services use a “fill-in-the-blank” template approach for adding content, greatly simplifying the content creation process.

2. Customization. vFlyer provides an extensive range of themes and layouts to choose from.  In addition to the ability to upload photos, videos, custom headers and integrate social media, users can also create their own themes allowing them to match their branding.

3. Flexibility. With vFlyer, you can grant access to an account to a client so that they can log in and make edits themselves or simply restrict access to yourself. You can also set up all of your client accounts under one login, making access to all of them super easy.

4. Save time while creating higher quality content.  The vFlyer platform is easy to use, enabling users to create professional-looking high quality content quickly and easily.

When it comes to capturing leads, two contacts are better than one. Nobody likes getting sent to voicemail; now, with two phone numbers, email addresses and faces on each flyer, prospects are twice as likely to reach a live person. Co-listing agents, we heard you! You can now feature both agents equally across your vFlyer account. In addition to name and number, include your email address, profile photo, and member association logo—all the details you need to share with potential clients.

And now, the all-new social media toolbar. In today’s industry, social media has become fundamental to successful online marketing. At vFlyer we’re committed to empowering users in this new space, and the social media toolbar does just that. Are you active on popular online networks like Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube? Show off your social media savvy with recognizable icons linking directly to your various profiles, and automatically displayed across your vFlyer account. Drive traffic to your blog, convert prospects into fans, and let your clients and prospects get to know you a little better.

For more information and instructions on both new features, please take a look at our help center.

This is just the first of a series of enhancements coming to the vFlyer service in 2011, and we hope you’ll find the new features useful. Thanks to all of our fantastic users who continue to come up with great ways to improve our service—please keep the feedback coming!

Having great-looking web content and appealing, recognizable branding is essential for establishing a strong web presence and driving leads these days. Bringing on an experienced designer like Cherie to design and create a website for you, in addition to a vFlyer custom theme to match, is a great way to accomplish this. If you’re interested, talk to friends and associates to see if they can refer any designers to you, or check classifieds sites like Craigslist for web designers. Or drop Cherie a line!

Are you a real estate agent or broker? See how vFlyer can help you build a strong brand online.

In vacation rentals, you’re selling not just a short stay in a house but the whole idea of a place, and Big Bear Cabins’s theme helps convey the sense of the rustic comfort of Big Bear Lake. Nicely done, Stacie!

As the holidays are almost upon us, I’ll be highlighting some seasonal and holiday themed flyers in next week’s post. If you have a winter or holiday theme that you want showcased, feel free send it to us at support@vflyer.com.

We hope these changes make your experience of using vFlyer even better. If you have comments about the new logged-in home layout, feel free to send us a message through the feedback widget!

vFlyer Agency Edition is an account configuration that allows real estate agencies, property management companies, marketing firms, and other organizations that require multiple accounts to create and assign sub-accounts, which are essentially normal vFlyer accounts that are under the management of a main account. The manager and any assistants of the main account can access all sub-accounts via a drop-down list and have the power to assign these sub-accounts to to others so that they can create, edit, and publish content in them. Those assigned to sub-accounts will only have access to the sub-account to which they are assigned.

The main benefits of vFlyer Agency Edition in these scenarios are:

1. You can assign sub-accounts to your employees, team members, or clients for less than what it would cost to set up stand-alone vFlyer accounts for each of them.

2. As the account manager, you have the ability to coordinate and oversee the content in each sub-account so that, for instance, you could have all the sub-accounts use a custom branded Flyer theme you created in the main account to maintain consistency across your company’s or organization’s listings.

vFlyer Agency Edition is ideal for:

1. Real Estate Agencies and Broker Offices
2. Auto Dealership Groups
3. Property Management Companies
4. Mortgage Brokers advertising Realtor listings
5. Marketing and Graphic Design Firms

vFlyer Agency Edition is also a great tool for individual vFlyer members and small companies who have different categories of listings that they want to keep separate from each other. For instance, if you are a Realtor marketing properties in different locations, or properties both for sale and for rent, you could create a sub-account for each that you could access from your main account. Not only does this allow you to manage your listings more easily, it also gives you a separate Account Profile for each sub-account so that viewers of each Account Profile only see the listings you want them to see.

vFlyer Agency Edition is available to vFlyer Premium and vFlyer Professional members.

There is no additional charge for unassigned sub-accounts, which share the Flyer allocation of the main account. In other words, if you have a vFlyer Professional account and you create four sub-accounts, those four sub-accounts as well as the main account all pull from the same allocation of 125 available Active Flyers.

Assigned sub-accounts, on the other hand, have their own allocation of Flyers and are charged based on this allocation. The main account manager can specify the subscription plan associate with each sub-account. Typically, the sub-accounts are discounted at 20% off the normal subscription price. The manager of the main account can specify whether the main account is billed for assigned sub-accounts or the individual sub-account user is billed directly for his or her sub-account.

Some of you may have noticed that we now allow you to access contact requests from the Home page (once you have logged in). This feature is actually very important for accounts that are actively managed by more than one person! Since the new collaborative features of vFlyer give subscribers multi-user and multi-account support, more and more accounts now are being accessed by multiple user!

Adding Another Account:
Perhaps you use vFlyer for business but would like to sell items in other product categories or for personal use. Perhaps you run two businesses and need an account for each. There are also sales organizations and virtual assistants that manage vFlyer accounts for multiple clients and would prefer to access them from a single account. Thanks to the new collaborative features in vFlyer, adding another account to your existing account is a few simple clicks away!

How it Works:
You will notice a Settings link at the top right of the page, click on the Accounts tab and go to the Create a New Account section to add a second account to your existing one. You can only have one free (vFlyer Personal) account in your account network, so subscribers can add one free account or multiple subscriber accounts to their account network.

• With vFlyer Agency, master accounts can support a network of multiple accounts. These can include any number of “sub accounts” created by administrators, or “sister accounts” created independently as part of a single vFlyer Collaboration Network
• With vFlyer Team, “sub accounts” can extend your collaboration network by allowing additional team members further down-stream to share accounts, the same applies with “sister accounts”
• Administrators have the ability to choose the types of accounts their network can support as well as put limits and policies in place. They can determine the number of assistants who can share an account and control other aspects of their network

Even if you don’t fully understand the inner working of the vFlyer Collaboration Network, hopefully you understand that vFlyer Team and vFlyer Agency provide the basic building blocks that enable us to create a simple or custom solution for your or your organization. Teams and organization all have different operating and reporting structures. Some are flat and open, while other are hierarchical and administered. Whatever the structure of your sales organization, the flexibility of our collaborative services allows us to design a solution that works for you. Contact sales@vflyer.com for more information.

Here are some of the things that are possible using vFlyer Agency:

• The administrator/owner can create multiple accounts or invite team members to create their own accounts
• The administrator can choose centralized billing for their sub accounts or to have each team members be financially responsible for their own account
• Centralized billing payment options are flexible and include both credit card or monthly invoicing on a purchase order (corporate accounts)
• vFlyer Agency can supports both subscription (Basic, Premium, i.e.) and free (Personal) accounts
• The administrator can access any account using a drop down menu at the top of each page
• The administrator can terminate or reassign accounts at any time

As I mentioned previously, one of the beauties of vFlyer Agency is the ability for the administrator to access all of their accounts at any time! For example, as an administrator you can jump from one account to the other to view a list of flyers, widgets, reports, or images by simply selected that account from a drop down list of available account in the upper right hand of each page.

Both vFlyer Team and vFlyer Agency are some of the services available both both individual and corporate users (I touched on our corporate account pricing and discounts in the past). If you or your company is interested in vFlyer Agency please contact our sale and support group at: sales@vflyer.com
