- Bulletin Board System Seeks Hardware Sponsor(s):
-
- The NetWork BBS, an up-and-coming BBS system, seeks a PC hardware vendor
- to sponsor the system by offering hardware on an "on-loan" basis in exchange
- for exclusive advertising and order-taking on-line.
-
- In exchange for hardware to help support the BBS' operations, your business
- will be listed as an OFFICIAL SPONSOR. What this means is that your product
- line will be advertised in a prominent place on the system, and customers will
- be able to place orders on-line! If desired, a message conference dedicated
- specifically to customer support will be created for your EXCLUSIVE use.
-
- All hardware offered to support the system is stritcly ON-LOAN. The
- hardware will be used explicitly with the BBS, and will be returned promptly
- upon request. In short, as long as the hardware is used your advertisments,
- product list, ordering system, and message conference will remain active. If
- at any time you wish to discontinue the agreement your product(s) will be returned
- immediately. If the product(s) becomes damaged in any way during the loan period,
- they will be purchased at list price.
-
- ------ Personal Note:
-
- Basically, I run a completely FREE BBS system. I'd like to offer my users the
- best on-line services available at no cost to them. To do this without going
- broke is nearly impossible. I am hoping that by offering a means to attract new
- customers in exchange for hardware to use in support of the system I can continue
- to provide top quality on-line service.
-
- The NetWork BBS is a relatively small system, but nearly every new user that stops
- by ends up a regular caller. The board has been up for about four months now, and
- in that time has received nearly 1,700 calls. I believe this to be an easy way to
- provide your customers an interesting way to do business, and contact you for after
- the sale support -- ON-LINE!
-
- Items needed are as follows:
-
- CD-ROM Drive(s)
- Internal Hard Disk Drive(s)
- I/O Board(s) - 16550 UART
- UPS/Line Conditioner
- Tape Backup Device
-
- I would also consider a similar arrangement with a Shareware vendor.
