We are looking for select vintage clothing and accessories e-commerce businesses who want to participate in a program with this site to promote their businesses in order to effectively develop a continual steam of customers to their websites and/or selling venues.

Serious individuals who want to see their business volume increase over the next six to twelve months are invited to participate in an affordable (under $10.00 per month!) program of intensive promotion of their online vintage clothing and accessories business.

All sellers of legitimate vintage clothing, as well as vintage hats, vintage belts, vintage gloves, vintage scarves, vintage purses, vintage shoes, vintage jewelry, and other vintage apparel and accessories may participate in the program.

You are invited to inquire for more information and participate in our discussion forum (free). Please contact: thewiz@ourhutch.com for answers to any questions you might have and to obtain your forum access.

Participation in this program will:

• provide you with your own e-commerce website and/or blog site
• include training and technical support for using your site
• provide custom logo/banner graphics and branding or assist with your own
• include you in social media marketing across a wide spectrum of sites
• let you be part of a website and social media marketing community
• leverage your involvement to reach an ever expanding market
• allow you to openly promote and cross-link all of your selling sites
• include free commercial quality advertising placed on high-traffic sites
• give your business extensive community exposure and visibiltiy
• help you develop and promote your brand and business identity
• optional inclusion of your e-commerce site on other commercial venues
• include on-going search engine optimization and reporting

and you will be featured on the front page of this website.

All of this and more, which would normally cost hundreds of dollars per month, is included at no additional charge. Your commitment will include the nominal monthly fee (no contract, cancel any time), and the willingness to spend about two hours per week promoting your business as a participant in the program.

Here are answers to a few of the more frequent questions we have already received:

A: This is not an alternative selling site or venue. It is a program to promote your existing business and expand your exposure. It does include an optional e-commerce website of your own where you can list items for sale without charge if you wish but there is no obligation to do so.

A: It will be a very low price. In fact, it will be so low we likely won’t be able to offer it for long. The program will only work if we can get a core group of interested participants who are willing to apply a serious approach to marketing their businesses, each committing about two hours a week. However there are no gimmicks, there is no up-sell, and there is nothing else to buy.

A: Yes, certainly. You are welcome to participate in program in order to bring additional traffic to your existing website and/or your selling sites on venues like eBay, MSMO, Ecrater, Ruby Lane, etc.

A: The program provides a complete e-commerce website, or a standard blog-based website, for each participant if they wish to use it but it is entirely optional. The website can be used for e-commerce (to sell things) at no extra cost but it can also just be a blogging platform. If you choose not to sell from it at this time you can always upgrade your blog site to e-commerce at any time in the future.

A: Yes you can. We’ll help you set up the mapping to make this possible.

A: Yes you can. Your website comes with a sub-folder domain that you are free to use as long as you continue to participate or we can help you obtain your own domain (about $12.00 per year) which you can take with you should you ever decide to leave the program.

A: Absolutely not. The program includes a logo/banner and other branding for the website if you want to take advantage of it but you can use your own instead if you already have it. We will help configure your website to your own branding at no additional charge.

A: Yes it is. You will be able to cross-link all of your selling sites and the program will promote them all. This is a great way to overcome the “no linking” policies of many selling sites.

A: Certainly. It is an excellent way to start your online business. You can sell from the website, from the venue of your choice, or both.

A: No program can guarantee a specific number of visitors to your selling site or a specific number of sales. We know from testing that we can generate upwards of 500 site visitors per day on some days — our best experience so far was about 1500 visitors to one site in one day — but these numbers will vary and, of course, not everyone will purchase something from you when they visit your site. The program will include information on how you can better convert visitors to customers.

A: No. This is a much more effective program which provides solid SEO functions, effective social media marketing, and more. The program teaches you how to promote yourself and it actually does significant amounts of real promotional and SEO work for you.

A: At the moment this program is only available for vintage clothing and accessories sellers but we are considering offering it to sellers of other specific product lines. Watch for announcements.

A: This program is operated by Rev. Stephen B. Henry, PhD., known online as The Wiz, and his wife Lora. Between them they have over 35 years of successful online selling experience and are social media marketing and search engine optimization professionals. They will actually be working to benefit and promote your sites. This program is also operated by YOU. As a participant you will put about two hours per week into co-operative marketing efforts.
