ABOUT PRICESTER

Pricester.com, Inc. is a dynamic and innovative internet marketing and technology company.  Our focus on both current state-of-the-art technologies and applications, as well as those that are rapidly emerging and will impact our society in the near future, form the core of our corporate philosophy and pursuits. 

Pricester’s concentration is on services and products that offer real, tangible solutions to small business and consumer issues.  This is accomplished with a combination of solutions developed internally, as well as targeted acquisition of synergistic companies.

Timely Opportunities:  Each of Pricester’s major business divisions has been developed in response to timely, growing, market-driven demands.  Pricester.com businesses include:


 
  • Pricester.com Internet Shopping Portal– The Internet has become the #1 choice for reaching a mass market with goods of every kind.  Online portals offer businesses and individuals an opportunity to show and sell items in a convenient, organized manner, without the requirement of having a brick-and-mortar store or even a separate website.  Pricester has developed a highly interactive shopping portal, accessible from www.pricester.com or directly at www.pricester.com/shopping, that enables anyone to post items for sale or auction, with no listing fee.  This competes very favorably with similar portals, e.g. eBay, that charge just for listing items resulting in a strong backlash from the online merchant community.    Currently, the Pricester Shopping Portal enjoys upwards of 100,000 visitors monthly and has enrolled more than 30,000 members with minimal promotion.  The number of items listed in the portal has been as high as 204,000.  When population and usage of the portal reach appropriate mass, transaction fees will be exacted predominantly from online sales, as well as fees for advanced reporting and other upgraded user features.  Full development of this online service holds enormous revenue potential.
  • Genesis ElectronicsNothing is timelier than harnessing and using energy in ways that are more convenient, money-saving and environmentally friendly!  This is particularly true when applied to our increasing reliance on portable electronic devices.  Genesis Electronics (www.genesiselectronics.net) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Pricester.com.  The company specializes in practical, consumer-friendly applications of alternative energy sources and has patented a technology for high-efficiency solar charging and energy storage for portable device batteries to greatly extend mobility and usefulness. The need to plug-in for a traditional charge is virtually eliminated.  A soon to be released product is a wearable holster-type cell phone case that utilizes solar energy to vastly increase the battery life and therefore the utility of the most widely used cell phones.  The holster was designed by a 3-time Emmy Award winning functional-fashion design team to even ensure a positive fashion statement!  Distribution is planned to include both cellular service providers as well as major retail outlets.  Application of the patented technology is expected to increase in importance with more extensive and power-demanding uses of portable devices. Genesis Electronics’ forecasts substantial sales volume with product pricing well within the means of the average consumer. 
  • Copia World International Shopping Portal We’re living in an increasingly global community, and interest in travel, merchandise and certain services from other countries is exploding.   With the vast amount of information available on the Internet, there was a glaring need for a more comprehensive, consumer-friendly, single-source of retailers and select service providers on an international level.  Copia World (www.copiaworld.com) is a unique international shopping “mall” that provides travelers and consumers with fast access to retailers and businesses worldwide.  Currently, the portal includes 25 countries on 6 continents, with 15 major shopping categories including a travel reservation engine and over 6,000 store listings.  Copia World features ease of use and direct link to listed websites.  Copia World has already achieved high major search engine ranking for relevant terms such as “international shopping” and “international shopping mall”.  Copia World currently displays affiliate ads and is moving towards generating added revenues through subscription advertising from listed companies.

  • Pricester Website Design and Internet Marketing Services The website has emerged as an essential tool for businesses.  In particular, small companies and professional practices understand the value of a website for establishing credibility and competing for clients and sales.  Pricester has successfully addressed the enormous demand from the small business sector for truly cost-effective website development, hosting and Internet marketing services.  Specially devised promotional programs, coupled with proprietary technology permitting rapid, low-cost website and shopping cart construction, make a professionally executed Internet presence available to businesses even on a limited budget.  This has been extremely well received by the small business sector and Pricester has become an extremely viable and attractive one-stop, low-cost website resource for small businesses. Pricester’s website programs are volume oriented and revenues are generated via set-up fees, fees for special features and competitive hosting plans that generate a renewable source of monthly revenue.  Information about these programs and live sample websites are available at www.pricester.com
