Vendor Exhibits (pre-sale!)
An affordable way to advertise and have an online presence, edit. Create and online exhibit for our members, edit from any computer connected to the net. This area contains a description area and company logo. What makes this area unique is the vendor can create an item. An item is a title, description, retail price, sale price (if on sale) and multiple images (3 items can be created with the base price). The vendor can also post a streaming video in their profile (added cost). We suggest the video be a product demo or sales video. This is MySpace.com meets YouTube.com for car wash vendors. The whole area is fully editable by the vendor from any internet connection. Add a 30mb video to your exhibit and extra items can be added for a slight additional cost. Finally an affordable yet powerful way to advertise to the car care industry.
