- What comes with a Marketplace listing?
A listing includes placing your company name, a brief description of its products or services, telephone number, email address, and website URL. It is essentially a paid advertisement for your product or service. During the period your listing is active, you may also use on your website and marketing collateral a logo that indicates you are a participant in the Digium|Asterisk Marketplace.
- I'm interested in listing my product/service but am wondering how the Marketplace is different from other forms of advertising?
Traditional advertising outlets will give you high rates based on customer "impressions". Their audience is often broad, however, so only a small percentage of viewers may be interested in your offering. Asterisk has gained tremendous following and visibility. The Digium website is where users, developers, and prospective telephony customers come to find out more. The Marketplace allows you to target your advertising dollars directly at this vibrant and growing Asterisk ecosystem.
- What are the advantages to listing my company on the Marketplace?
The Digium|Asterisk Marketplace features:
- Thousands of unique visitors to the Digium website daily
- Category and keyword searches make it easy to find your offering
- Short and simple process for getting listed
- Targeted marketing with a low cost to potential customer
- High return on investment
- Quantifiable results
- What is the difference between companies with listings in the Marketplace and Digium Partners?
To make it easy for customers, both Partners and those companies with Marketplace listings can be found within the Digium|Asterisk Marketplace. Digium Partners must meet much more stringent qualifications, and have a closer relationship with Digium in return. Their companies are listed before Marketplace listing companies, and have larger listings with logos. Partnership fees are, in general, significantly higher than those of listings.
By contrast, Marketplace listings are simpler to obtain and less expensive — they are basically equivalent to an advertisement in print. Most companies can buy a listing in the Marketplace, as long as they meet a simple set of requirements and abide by the terms of the listing Agreement. Digium is not otherwise affiliated with companies listed in the Marketplace, and makes no guarantees whatsoever about their products or services.
- What is the difference between a Basic and Premium Marketplace listing?
Premium listings use a larger typeface for the company name, and all Premium listings are positioned before all Basic listings.
- What order are the listings displayed in?
All Marketplace listings are positioned after all Partner listings, then by listing level (e.g. all Premium listings, then all Basic listings). Within each level, the listings are presented in order of seniority (amount of continuous time actually listed on the Marketplace website). This makes it important to get your listing early and to maintain its renewal status.
- What are the advantages to companies that listing early in the Marketplace?
Marketplace listings are sorted by level and then seniority, so join the program today to get the best possible position for your company's listing. You can join the program by filling out a few simple forms, and submitting payment information online. Once approved, your listing will be available to thousands of Asterisk users in just a few business days.
- How much does a Marketplace listing cost?
The current price of a Basic listing is $395 per quarter, and a Premium listing is $595 per quarter.
All prices are subject to change without notice.
- What is the promotional pricing?
For a limited period, the Marketplace listings are $795 per year for Basic, and $1195 for one year for a Premium listing.
- When is my payment charged?
If you submit your payment via credit card or Paypal™ on the Digium website, your payment is collected that day. If for some reason you are not approved, your payment will be refunded.
- What is the approval process?
After you submit the information on your listing, Digium will approve it within a couple of business days. Your listing will be visible on the Marketplace website for a full 3 months (for quarterly listings) or 1 year (for annual listings), beginning the first day it is listed.
- How do I renew the listing? Is the renewal automatic?
Before your listing expires, you will receive an e-mail from Digium with an invoice, reminding you to renew. If you submit your payment before the end of the term of your listing, your listing will remain on the website. At this time, we are not set up to process automatic credit card renewals.
- Can I renew even after the expiration of my listing?
Yes, but you may lose your position. You will have a short grace period of just 10 calendar days after the listing is removed from the display to reactivate it by making a payment. If you don’t do so, you will lose your position and your listing will be displayed near the end of the listings.
- Can I renew early?
Yes, you can prepay for up to one year in advance.
- How can I find out when my listing expires?
You can see it by logging into the Digium website using the address registered to the listing, then see My Account
- Can I change my listing?
You can change anything about your listing except the Company name by simply sending an email to marketplace@digium.com describing what you would like to change. The name may only be changed if you provide evidence to Digium that your company has been bought, sold, merged, or legally changed its name.
- Can I purchase a listing for another company or on behalf of a third party?
No, not without the written permission of the company or third party. By submitting the Marketplace Application, you are certifying that you own the rights to the listing, including the name, any trademarks associated with it, and all rights to use that name in commerce. Digium reserves the right to remove listings that are clearly inaccurate, or that infringe on the rights of others.
- If I decide I no longer want to be listed in the Marketplace, can my listing be removed?
Yes, but the listing fee is not refundable in most cases. See the Terms and Conditions for details.
