Why should you list?

The world is becoming increasingly competitive, and this is leading to narrower margins and lower profits for all. This is especially so in the financial world, as automation and the entry of global players is threatening the very existence of domestic companies.

Equity brokerage rates have fallen from 2.5% in the early nineties, to as little as 0.10% currently (some even charge 5 paisa). Volumes on regional stock exchanges like the Pune Stock Exchange and the Bangalore Stock Exchange are practically non-existent. The entry of foreign brokers has hurt even the biggest Indian stockbrokers. The same situation is likely to replicate itself across all financial markets.

In this situation, only those who pro-actively seek to widen their reach, and use the Internet and new technologies to enhance their brands will survive. It is a period of turmoil as well as an era of opportunity.

We at ValueNotes recognise this, and seek to offer a range of services to members of the financial community. We do not compete with any financial companies or intermediaries, but work with them and provide a range of services to complement their offerings.

Our latest product, the ValueNotes Yellow Pages, is a unique product designed to help financial intermediaries, brokers, corporates and players in all areas of the financial world - to leverage the Internet to reach out to a wide range of potential customers, and at a very low cost. Click here to view our various listing options.

Unlike the Yellow pages or trade directories offered by others, the ValueNotes Yellow Pages offers some unique advantages:

• We already have a well-established Internet brand.
• More than 100,000 unique visitors already frequent the site.
• We are the largest unbiased aggregator of financial content in India.
• All those who visit the ValueNotes site are interested in financial products, i.e. stocks, mutual funds, insurance, loans, etc. It is a very highly targeted audience.
• ValueNotes is already highly visible on major search engines, and we continue to enhance and optimise these listings, which will only increase the traffic in future.
• You can utilise our team's experience and knowledge of the Internet.
• VN Yellow pages are focused on financial products/services which provides excellent targetting for the financial community, unlike other yellow pages which have thousands of products.

The ValueNotes Yellow Pages also offers features not seen before in India. The database can be searched by city and location; product as well as product attributes. So for instance, a potential customer could look for a life insurance agent selling the products of Pru ICICI in say, Bandra. Or could find mutual fund agents who are empanelled with both Zurich and Kothari, and are located in Vasant Vihar, Delhi. Compare this with other yellow page services that throw up huge lists in alphabetic order, leaving users to scan through hundreds of irrelevant listings.

A tiny sum of a few hundred rupees per year (a daily cost less than a cup of tea) will help you reach out to thousands of potential clients. Even if you rope in one new customer, you could recover more than the listing fees! Think about it.
