Buzz360

Crunchbase | Website | Twitter | Facebook | Linkedin

Entrepreneurs don’t start a business because they love marketing; they start a business because of a passion. Their goal is to help them follow their passion.

Without the right tools, it is not easy. Buzz360’s automated marketing platform allows them to accelerate their passion and turn it into a successful business.

It enables small businesses to attract new customers, automate their social marketing, and get repeat and referral business. It automatically creates a web site to attract new customers, automates email marketing that brings repeat and referral business, automatically posts to Facebook, and generates social referral and reviews from customers.

It also builds and updates a mobile sales tool. Buzz360 is architected with distribution channels in mind, to be sold online directly to small businesses, or as a brandable, white-label community platform to media firms, marketing agents, non-profit organizations, and franchisors, who are their partners in reaching significant sectors of the gigantic small business market.

It has a multi-tenant and multi-layer design. As an example, a white-label customer like a media company (radio station) creates a specialty community — such as NorthDakotasBest.com — which sells a business profile and marketing tools to the thousands of small businesses in North Dakota.

Another example is a television station building a wedding community for the market it serves. Contact us at 952 222 9005.

The mission of HealthNewsReview.org is to improve the public dialogue about health care by helping consumers critically analyze claims about health care interventions and by promoting the principles of shared decision-making reinforced by accurate, balanced and complete information about the tradeoffs involved in health care decisions. HealthNewsReview.org evaluates health care journalism, advertising, marketing, public relations and other messages that may influence consumers and provides criteria that consumers can use to evaluate these messages themselves.

Improving the quality and flow of health care news and information to consumers can be a significant step towards meaningful health care reform. We are not equipped to host a definitive forum on medical science.

We don’t give medical advice. We are not an advocacy group.

We don’t accept advertising and we won’t allow commenters to promote products on our site. Our hands are more than full “simply” with the job of reviewing daily health care news stories, journal practices and health care advertising, PR and marketing messages.

Almost every day, someone urges us to expand our scope of work beyond our capabilities and comfort limits – limits partially set by the reality of having only two full-time editorial staff and a set budget. We can’t review every story or every promotional message that we see.

The tsunami of health care information each day is simply too overwhelming. Thanks for understanding..
