Quality vs. Quantity

[Kinsey6287]

The age old question that could be applied to more subjects than any man can think of.

Quality vs. Quantity

Here is the dilemma:
I am in the final stages of my start-up e-biz and I want to grasp as many clients as possible, but would also like to give people the best results. So that is where the question come in; Quality or Quantity??

Here are my figures: at the least $155 per month per client if I want every client in our region to make themselves available to the public.

Or, $325 per month per client to only the higher profile clients who probably already get themselves out to the public more than enough compared to the "little guy".

If I do every client possible for less I may make more in the long run due to more clientele. However, they may not be the best choice for the public that will be viewing the website and making a very important decision on who to choose.

Just to clear things up I am doing a listing type website that lists businesses in a particular niche that is very much sought after in these tough economic times.

So do I give the public the best choices possible, but fewer, and probably more expensive to them,..... Or do I list all the businesses in this particular niche and just let the public decide what is best for them?

Loaded questions I know, ..... I have had a few bottles of wine already today, and its only 5:35. Damn x-mas parties. lol

Quality should always win. You might make a lot at first, but your business will dwindle if your customers lose interest form a low quality product. IMO

Why not quality AND quantity?

List them all, but add a rating system.

Wow, great minds think alike.

After a night of thinking and sleeping on it, we just implemented this into the site.

Now clients can choose a "Basic Membership" where they get listed and have their own page with all contact info as well as a link to their own webpage.

And I also came up with a "Featured Membership" where they will have their Web Banner posted on the front page of our site (revolving between clients) as well as a lot of other perks.

The basic clients pay the $155 a month and the Featured clients pay $325 a month for the added exposure.


Now,... Its time to go sell!!!! Wish me luck!! We are hoping to have 10 clients by the end of the first month.
