Press Release Summary: AIT reconfirms its commitment and support to AIT resellers and its reseller hosting plans while continuing to develop new products and revenue streams for reseller success.
Press Release Body: (FAYETTEVILLE, NC) February 25, 2008. Today AIT (www.AIT.com/?pdkw=pr-reseller-fr-02-25-2008) announced that 2007 was one of its best years for partnering with resellers. \"I started in my garage as a reseller and now AIT is located in a 93,000 state-of-the-art datacenter with 210,000 customers worldwide,\" said Clarence E. Briggs CEO & Founder of AIT. "We know how to make our resellers and customers successful, because that's how AIT was founded. In fact, Go Daddy started out as one of our resellers." Company officials are kicking off 2008 with an unrivaled reseller push that includes reseller hosting, domain registration and becoming a search engine through AIT's tyBitŪ (www.tyBit.com).
"Becoming an AIT Reseller produced tangible benefits immediately," said Gregg Lucas. "They have over 100 free, private label products and services that I can resell in my name to include shopping carts, email marketing, credit card processing, instant portals and even web design. I passed on a web design job to AIT and made $15,000 profit from it and they did all the work and stayed anonymous!" Company officials are also pushing their domain reseller and affiliate program (www.AITdomains.com). "There are no annual signup or membership fees to get started," said Avery Skelton, Director of Web and Domain sales. "Our reseller programs are the best in the industry with no hidden fees and we have especially seen success with multi-level marketing (MLM) groups. Everything is fully automated and we deliver 24x7x365 ticket and toll free support. Who else does that?"
"Our reseller plans (http://www.ait.com/reseller-hosting.php/?pdkw=pr-reseller-fr-02-25-2008) give you everything you need to build your own successful reseller business, said Sean McCoy, SVP of sales and marketing. "I was a former AIT reseller until they purchased my company and hired me to head up their reseller and AIT Dealer Program for the more successful resellers." McCoy says AIT guarantees the best buy rates for domains and hosting in the business. "They are always there for me," said Monica Sabinski. "They answer the phone, return calls and provide marketing assistance, solid training and support allowing me to grow my business."
According to Gartner Dataquest, indirect sales are 100% greater than direct sales. IT solution providers who are VARS are driving this growth because they can serve their local SMB market best. More than 70% of VARs grew by more than 5% each year from 2004 to 2007 according to 2008 CMP Channel Sate of the Market Study. AIT officials echo the study's results. "On average, our smaller VARs earn about $5,200 a month, some with nothing more than a computer and internet connection working part time from home," said Skelton who conducted a survey. We have developed the most profitable and flexible reseller program in the industry and many ISPs and newspapers use us. There is a reason why we have been profitable for 12 years without outside funding."
"AIT has helped thousands of entrepreneurs become hosting companies and domain registrars," said Briggs. "Soon we will help them become their own search engine and drive their revenues through the roof. I expect we will generate more revenue the first month with our new search engine tyBitŪ than we typically make in a year. Of course, our resellers will also benefit - we'll not forget our roots or the foundation for our success."
AIT is home to over 210,000 customers from Fortune 500 companies to small businesses. AIT is based in North Carolina and has grown into a multimillion dollar technology company which recently released its own search engine tyBitŪ (www.tyBit.com). Clients like Time Warner, Microsoft, Newsweek, U.S. Federal Government, PC World, United Nations, Business Week, The Oakridge Boys, State of North Carolina, Department of Defense, Wall Street Journal, ZDNet, Pizza Hut, GOODYEAR, Smart Money, Discover Radio, and many more have benefited from AIT\'s products and services.
