Is your website lost somewhere out there in cyberspace? As an example, spend a few minutes to look up "Asian fashion" on Google or Yahoo. Both have more than 15 million entries and unless you have spent a lot of time working on it, your present website could be positioned as the very last one in the list. (The last time I looked Amatas.com first appears on page 5).  When you look at what else comes up from the search most of it will also be completely irrelevant to you and this fashion industry yet that doesn't make it impossible to achieve great things on the net. Forecasts are that we should see almost 30% annual increase in the growth of internet business over the next 5 years suggesting that it will be almost 370% bigger than it is now. Will you be part of that growth? Now look up your own name in the search engines. By our own estimates more than 60% of the designers featured on Amatas when searched for on the major search engines will find the Amatas web pages bringing them up on the first two pages of the search pages.

Where will you be 5 years from now?

Competition comes at us from all directions and only you know where you want to be, who is your main competition, and how you can improve your present position against that. The web is no different.

Amatas Asian Fashion Network is one approach that will offer the Asian Fashion industry with assistance to be part of the increasing power of the internet without the need to invest thousands of dollars in developing a web presence or go to great lengths to optimise your server position only to find the results leave you lost somewhere out in cyberspace.

In less than one year, Amatas.com has increased it's website ranking from 3.5 million to less than 400,000 and had our web traffic to up to 200,000 hits a month as we now have more than 400 designer collections from 14 Asian Countries and 50,000 fashion images on the site. With the inclusion of an Asian Fashion Forum, increasing our web content and building the Asian Fashion Network we are working towards ranking in the first 1000 websites with more than a million hits a month within the next year and we want to take you with us.

We will be adding more content throughout the year and gradually translating it all into other languages besides English including Chinese, Japanese, Thai and Bahasa.

The power of your website coupled with the power of a thousand other websites joined together that are relevant and particularly related to your industry and regional location will be a powerful force indeed.

What is in it for you?

Websites come in all manner of presentations for all sorts of reasons. How you get there is where your own business skills come into play. Amatas Asian Fashion Network will provide you with the basic requirements to get started at almost no cost and the technical support and the industry network structure across South East Asia to succeed on the internet.

What does that include?

What will you pay for?

Yes, not everything is for free. For one, you will need to pay to have your domain name registered. Depending on who you do it with ( and we will provide you with options ourselves) you can spend between $5 and $15 per year to keep the name operational.

So how can Amatas earn its money to provide an almost free service?

Our success will be built on how successful you become through our internet marketing and the power of the Amatas Asian Fashion Network. Just as you provide your retailers and other marketing portals such as eBay with discounts or commissions on sales, Amatas will attract a commission from sales you make through your website. In other words, you will only pay for your internet success after it happens on the business you do and even then that cost will be less than you would pay anywhere else.

You maintain complete control of the content and shape of your website and the business you do on it.

We can only be successful in promoting you and your industry if we assist you to become 10 times more successful.

Cyberspace need no longer be a lonely place to do business.
