Net-Flow Launches NOW Hosted Internet Tools For Small and Mid-size Businesses
NOW Suite Provides Solutions at the Speed of Need to Cut Costs, Save Time, Improve Customer Relations, Bring Change to Corporate Web Sites and eMarketing
Net-Flow, a leading provider of customer and business management solutions, announces NOW (network originated work), a suite of hosted Internet tools powered by the company’s database architecture. NOW, comprised of 4C modules – Content-NOW (Web site update/administration), Commerce-NOW (eCommerce and shopping cart operations), Contacts-NOW (customer relations/contact management) and Communicate-NOW (eMarketing/eNewsletters) – helps small and mid-size businesses. The suite puts the immediacy of ‘NOW’ into customer relations, Web site update/administration and marketing campaign work, plus the savings of an in-house-managed Web site and eMarketing, into the hands of business owners.
Dean Bowen, CEO Net-Flow, notes, “NOW is a flexible one-stop management solution for handling customer and business data. Hosting companies, programmers and some designers patch together component parts from third party products and call it an integrated solution -- reselling hosting services from one vendor, relying on non-related third party database systems, subcontracting Web designers and licensing eCommerce technologies such as shopping carts and credit card processing from someone else. This piecemeal approach is difficult to manage, cumbersome and leads to unnecessary expenses and frustrations for businesses looking for a central location to manage content, contacts, commerce and communication. Net-Flow technology is homegrown and solely owned and managed by our team. We customize and bundle the best NOW modules to meet the unique needs of each customer and vertical market. NOW tools are designed to integrate with existing Web sites.”
NOW Easy as 1 –2 – 3
Whether adding NOW functionality to new or existing Web pages, business owners can turn their sites into dynamic marketing hubs with Content-NOW. No more reliance upon expensive HTML designers and Internet professionals to do simple tasks such as content update; let administrative employees manage these simple changes. Content-NOW streamlines the process and empowers any authorized user to add content on-the-fly:
- Open the Content-NOW browser window and type or paste desired content
- Add text, logos, photos, graphics and Web site links
- Click ‘Submit’ for instant live update
Creating an electronic NOW marketing campaign is as easy as 1 – 2 – 3 with Communicate-NOW and Contacts-NOW; anyone can become an eMarketer within minutes. Quickly build and send personalized customer loyalty program messages including eNewsletters, event announcements, birthday coupons and individual correspondence:
- Open Communicate-NOW browser window and type or paste desired content
- Select ‘Group’ or ‘Individuals’ for broadcast email from the underlying Contacts-NOW database
- Click ‘Submit’
Bowen notes: “Communicate-NOW marketers are not charged per campaign or per email, as is the case with most other email broadcast services. And because our technology delivers each email individually it gets to the recipient. Many of today’s SPAM blockers recognize batch processed junk email and send it right to the trash.”

Attendees will learn about the latest market trends, tips, tricks and solutions to make Internet programs a success.
