    Sam's Club (wal-mart owned) starts selling websites

    Wal-Mart-owned warehouse chain Sam's Club is now offering low-cost Web sites for its members, which are mostly small businesses. The move has implications for the growth of local search.

    The company now offers a basic Web site, domain name and e-mail address for as little as $5 a month, or $50 a year. Sam's Club members go online to set up a Web site for the basic $5 fee, which includes domain registration and setup. Free phone online technical support is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

                      i really dont understand why a little old lady, or even my mom at that, would need a website?

                      only thing i can see that Sam's would offer a website for would be resellers for Sam's.


                      well being that their membership costs like 50-100bucks a year, maybe they are throwing the website offer in the air tempting people to signup to their membership.. who knows

                              no, but a lot of businesses buy bulk from sams, and a lot of businesses dont have websites. Sams is smart for capitalizing on this.

                                              Why not? I've been doing small business sites for people locally for awhile now and it's easy money. You'd be surprised at the number of small biz places that would love to have a site and will jump at the chance if they have someone to do it for them or walk them through it step by step.

                                              Most of the people I've dealt with want someone to do everything- hosting, domain, setting it up, updates, etc. But a lot of places probably have at least one employee who would be functional enough to set up some easy BS like this.

                                              There's probably some kind of easy add-on shopping cart/payment deal that Sam's is profiting from, as well. Or once they get it set up, they find out they can only sell Sam's products and there's an extra fee for everything else.

                                                  You have to have a "membership" to shop at Sam's. It's supposed to be a discount club, or something. You can do it privately now, but businesses get discounts and they can purchase a deal where all their employees are automatically members, for free. I know it sounds kind of weird, but there are lots of businesses that buy the club deals and give them out to employees. I guess they're targeting those groups.

                                                  In the past, I think you had to be part of a group like that to even shop there. They wouldn't let people just walk in off the street and shop. They still won't now, but at least they will let you do a membership without being a part of any group.

                                                                                                          when I first got into website design, about 80% of my clientele had shitty websites their brother-in-law's neighbor's husabnd built and they wanted "real websites"

                                                                                                          this is a good opportunity for small web development firms...

                                                                                                          Didn't win me too many jobs, but I am sure it saved me a number of headaches.
