ADVISORSQUARE KICKS OFF INITIATIVE TO PUT EVERY FINANCIAL ADVISOR ONLINE
September 15, 2005
SAN DIEGO, Calif., September 15, 2005 - LiveOffice Corporation (www.liveoffice.com), today announced the launch of the AdvisorCredit
referral program at the Financial Planning Association's (FPA) Annual Conference and Exposition. Designed by the company's AdvisorSquare
division, the nation's #1 provider of financial websites, this referral initiative embraces the importance of word-of-mouth and online
referrals in the financial advisory business and rewards AdvisorSquare's 12,000 financial advisor customers for spreading the word about
the growing importance of establishing a website presence.
With nearly 70% of U.S. households online*, financial advisors can no longer afford to ignore the proven growth opportunities that result
from marketing their services via the Internet. Research shows that almost every age group, especially soon-to-be retiring baby boomers, is
using the Internet on a regular basis for researching potential service providers, conducting business transactions and shopping. These
findings, coupled with the prevalence of residential high-speed Internet access and data gathered from AdvisorSquare customer surveys, led
to the development of the AdvisorCredit program.
The AdvisorCredit initiative simultaneously rewards existing and new customers for selecting AdvisorSquare to help them market their practice
online. As part of this pilot program, every time an existing AdvisorSquare website owner refers a new client, they receive an AdvisorCredit,
which is good for a free month of web hosting services. In turn, the new client receives $100 off the setup cost of their new site. Existing
customers are entitled to one AdvisorCredit per referral and can accumulate as many credits as they want, giving them the opportunity to earn
month after month of free web hosting services.**
"With almost everyone using the Internet these days, I realized that if someone asked for my website address, I didn't want to tell them that
I didn't have one. I researched the various website providers and AdvisorSquare's professional-looking designs and simple setup made it the
obvious choice," said Ronald W. Hannes, president of Hannes Financial Services, Inc. (www.hannesfinancial.com). "The best part was that
AdvisorSquare's efforts didn't stop as soon as my website was done. Their ongoing customer care, education and training programs have continued
to provide me with invaluable tips on how to maximize my Internet investment."
AdvisorSquare's unique approach to website development and hosting has provided over 12,000 financial advisors nationwide with the knowledge
they need to maximize their investment in a financial website. AdvisorSquare offers ongoing education and training programs that help advisors
promote their practice online, acquire new clients, improve client services and increase sales with a multitude of web-based tools. In addition,
GetHits!, AdvisorSquare's members-only newsletter, offers monthly tips on how to market a financial website and drive traffic.
