Warner Cable, Verizon FiOS, Virgin Mobile, XM Can I offer cellular accessories on my website? If you have an arrangement with another company that offers this service we can easily link that site on your homepage. If you don't, hold tight because in on March 22, 2010 (at CTIA Las Vegas) we are launching our own fully integrated accessory store where we'll allow you to earn high commissions on everything sold from your BaZoing! website. Dealers that are online prior to this launch will not incur any additional charges for the store, but new dealers will pay a small monthly fee for the wireless accessory store option. How does the prize giveaway work? BaZoing! offers a new contest every month and a new prize will be supplied by us each month. The prizewinner will be randomly selected once a month amongst all of our BaZoing! dealers. Upon winning the drawing, both the customer and the storeowner or contact on record will be notified and BaZoing! will handle prize fulfillment as well. How does the mailing list feature work? A good e-mail list is crucial to online success. The best list includes people already interested in wireless services – people who visit your site. We make it easy for them to add on to your list. In the BaZoing! administration area you'll have access to export all the e-mail addresses and do your own mailing, or our marketing team can handle it for you for an additional fee. Customers that enter the monthly contest with their e-mail address will also be given the option to be included in the e-mail list. We also provide an "unsubscribe" option, and all mailings sent by BaZoing! comply with the CAN-SPAM act of 2003. We accept Visa, Mastercard, and American Express credit cards.

Once you choose a BaZoing! template that meets your needs, you'll be able to update your new template with the following: 1. Your company Logo You'll also have control over the wireless carriers your website will display, plus special options such as participating in the monthly contest or participation in the homepage news and information feature. In mid March 2010 we are launching new features that will allow our dealers more content control. You will be able to edit all pages on your website, including locations, wireless phones, wireless plans, contact us, etc. You can even choose to supply your own content on these pages without the BaZoing! content, should you choose. Do I need a domain name to use BaZoing!? Without a domain name, you'll be assigned a web address at bazoing.com, like http://www.bazoing.com/_yourstore. We highly recommend that you use your own domain name however. The annual cost to register the domain name is included in your BaZoing! setup fee, and we will handle the registration and set-up for you. We also pay your annual domain registration as long as you are a member of BaZoing! For us to pay this fee for you after the first year, you must have your account transferred to our domain account, although the domain name remains in your name at all times. For tips on choosing a domain name, please click here. Can I host my website with another web host and use BaZoing!? No, in order for the BaZoing! updating service to work properly, we need to host your website. I already have a website. How can I switch it to the BaZoing service? You can leave your current website behind and start fresh with a new BaZoing! website template, or our team of designers and programmers can customize your existing website to add the BaZoing! features. There is an additional charge for this service, and this is done by quotation, based on your current site. Click here to contact us about this option. Are there any term agreements, or can I just try your service for one month? You can try it for just 5 days, with our free trial. We don't believe in locking you into a term agreement. You can cancel at any time. Please keep in mind that we do not pro-rate our services for refunds so if you cancel, the service will stay active until your next monthly billing date. Do I have to know HTML to make changes to the content on my site? No! We use a simple WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) style editor like Microsoft Word so you can simply type in your text, apply different font characteristics like bold or italics, insert links, etc., all with just a few clicks of the mouse. No special computer knowledge is required. It couldn't be easier. What if I don't want to add my own content myself? Can you help me set up my site? Yes. Your setup fee covers server setup and domain name transfers. However, if you'd rather have us upload your logo, add your locations for you, and write and add your "About Us" and "Home Page" text, we can setup your website so that it will be ready to use right away. The additional charge for this extended setup is $100, bringing your setup fee to $200, however for a limited time this is included in your standard setup fee. What is the News and Information service? The news and Information section of your website is a powerful area in which our staff writers provide your customers with up-to-date information on the wireless industry. We include stories such as new phone releases, wireless industry news, laws and regulations affecting your customers, as well as news and press releases from your wireless carriers. This section is also a great resource for your sales staff, keeping them up to date with your carriers latest offerings. You will have the ability to opt out of specific news items if you choose. Of course, your website will only show relevant stories to your stores' wireless carriers, and only in a positive light. In other words, if T-Mobile wins the JD Power and associate award for customer service, this story would never show up on a BaZoing! dealer's website that sells only Verizon and Sprint. How many template choices do you have? We have several unique designs online already, with more to come. Each design comes with multiple color options, and multiple header graphics as well allowing for dozens of combinations. We are going to be adding new templates often, including holiday themed templates. You can change templates at any time using your administration area at no additional charge. This is a great way to easily give your website a fresh new look. Our newest project is adding carrier-looking templates that will match the colors and styles of our various wireless carrier partners. How will I be notified when someone wants to buy something from my website? When your potential customers are on your website they can look through phones and plans for your wireless carriers. With our simple "Get This Phone" and/or "Get this plan" buttons, your customers will fill out a simple contact form that will alert you through either e-mail or SMS text message of their desire to purchase. The customer receives a print-out of their request to take into your store. All you have to do is contact them at the number or e-mail they provided to close the sale. It's that easy! Unfortunately, carrier agreements generally prohbit independent wireless dealers from "activating" online. We are working on this restriction, and hope to be able to offer a solution to this in the future. Dealers that have unlimited wireless carriers offered in their store will be given additional options. These dealers will be allowed to sell their phones and plans online through a simple form and Paypal 'Buy Now' button. Please check with your wireless carrier agreement before activating our online purchasing module. What web hosting services are included with my monthly fee? Your monthly fee includes all web hosting services including standard web hosting, up to 50 e-mail accounts, e-mail forwarding and auto responders, webmail access, website statistics and more. Your domain name registration fee is also included as long as you are a current paid member of the BaZoing! service. For us to pay this fee for you after the first year, you must have your account transferred to our domain account, although the domain name remains in your name at all times. Can I get a custom design to be used with the BaZoing features? Yes! If you prefer, you can be a bit more creative without losing any of the benefits of the BaZoing! service. Our design and programming team can create for you the perfect website design for you through our partnership with Skyhound Internet. Our team of designers and programmers will work with you and your project manager to create a website that meets your specific needs. Please contact us to get a quote on this option. What other additional services does your company offer to help my wireless store succeed? We offer the following services to our customers:
My carrier or master agent says I can't sell online. Does that mean I can't use BaZoing!? Some carriers or master agents prohibit authorized dealers from activating online. This is different than marketing your products or services online. Since activations do not actually occur online with BaZoing! websites, you should not be in violation of your agreement. As we are not familiar with all carrier or master agent agreements, we recommend that you consult your agreement or your attorney if you have questions about your specific legal requirements. Coming soon we will be allowing dealers to have their own online accessory store, allowing them to make money directly from their website. Submit your cancellation request on our contact page. Please keep in mind that your service will continue to operate until your billing period expires. To cancel a trial service, use the Cancel Trial Membership link on your User Home page, available right when you login. You may also call 800-927-3074. Please note that once your cancellation is processed your website will no longer be available or accessible to you or your customers. All content on the site will be lost. You will have a limited time to reactivate your account and save your existing website.
