E-merchantsGroup.com (EMG) Saves Online Merchants Money. EMG Founded in 2002 is a grassroots collective of online merchants and is ready to lend you a helping hand. By working together, merchants both large and small will benefit and our ability to obtain additional group benefits increases. All merchant services can be obtained free of cost, but we need your participation to maximize our bargaining power. Please come join the hundreds of merchants who have already joined and see what we can do working together, as there is real power in unity and numbers.
The initial phase of EMG focused on credit card processing. Credit card processing or merchant accounts is an expense for all e-merchants and hence a logical starting point. In other words, if you are doing business on-line you have to accept credit cards to generate revenue.
When you participate in our merchant account you enable EMG to demonstrate to all potential vendors the cumulative total of merchants and merchant dollars that utilize our program. This helps potential vendors estimate how much potential business is available to them when they provide discounted goods or services to our members. As an example, let's assume 500 merchants are utilizing the EMG merchant account and these merchants are processing a half of a billion dollars in Visa & MasterCard sales. If a freight company knows that the average merchant expenses 10% of their gross sales in freight costs, this vendor can then extract what potential business awaits them. One cautionary note, we NEVER share private information with any vendor, we only provide information in a cumulative or aggregate form.
To keep EMG objectives simple and to avoid the need for discussion or debate EMG has only two goals:
1) Save money for its members.
2) With the unity of its members, be a positive force for
change in the marketplace.
The time for EMG is RIGHT NOW!
The increased costs of doing business on-line will continue to rise while competition grows. Can you survive on your own, if costs continue to rise for:
1) Hosting fees
2) Shipping Costs
3) Marketing/customer acquisition costs (the largest area of increased expense)
4) Merchant processing fees
5) Employee costs
6) Insurance
7) Operating Supplies
Unless you are part of a larger more powerful group, you will find it increasingly more difficult to compete.
If you are not an EMG member you are at a competitive disadvantage.
"I founded this group after being frustrated with both the service and pricing available to internet merchants by vendors who service the internet. EmerchantsGroup is our way to successfully compete with the Wal-Marts and Amazons of the world."
Steven Allen
Founder and fellow merchant
