With additional social networks Bebo, Linkedin, and Ning coming soon, Bizzlr today announced it has officially launched its service on Facebook, MySpace and Hi5.For engaging customers on social networks, Bizzlr is the first to provide SMEs a turn-key solution. Bizzlr's patent pending technology, for one low monthly fee, puts businesses on all of the major social networks, and eliminates the need to create their own custom applications for social networks.
Ken Gavranovic, Bizzlr CEO said that there are more than 80,000 social networks on the Open Social platform, making it
"nearly impossible for small businesses to build a presence on every network". "Bizzlr's turn-key solution enables them to outsource their social network presence so they can focus on their core business. Nearly 40% of SMEs don't have a website, and with Bizzlr they don't need one. The application drives customers directly to their phone lines, email addresses or websites."
The top social networks, according to Comscore, now have 183 million users, including more than 70% of 15-to-34 year olds. Gavranovic continues:
"It's clear that social networks, essentially digital extensions of the real world, are here to stay". "What people want on the networks are applications beyond entertainment. Businesses, particularly SMEs, want users to engage in discussing and promoting their brand. We believe Bizzlr is the first to successfully merge these desires, and in the process deliver real value to both the businesses and their customers."
Including Bizzlr - Food and Restaurants, Bizzlr offers SMEs an array of vertical applications. Based on their tastes and preferences, Bizzlr - Food and Restaurants' unique dataset enables proprietary collective intelligence algorithms to recommend a restaurant to targeted customers. "I am always looking for new restaurants to explore and share with my friends. I love that Bizzlr makes finding new restaurants and money-saving specials so easy", explains one of Bizzlr's many early adopters, 25-year-old Kristin Lameier.
