In addition, the HearthNet retailers directory has been remodeled to offer an improved interface with web and email links, along with a short description of the dealers services. A map feature has been added so the online customer can find the exact location of their closest dealer. The "Deal of the Century" program works like this: 1. The price for a yearly listing and link in the HearthNet products directory has been lowered from $395.00 to $250.00 (effective Jan 1, 2000). 2. Major manufacturers such as Travis Industries, Jotul, HearthStone and Heatech (others pending) have agreed to provide a co-op credit to their dealers who list in the HearthNet directory. This credit is for the amount of $60.00 for EACH manufacturer that you list on your HearthNet listing description. A. Mention of the brand name in your short description on the HearthNet shops page (see http://chi.hearth.com/dealers/east.html for examples) B. The dealers site must also have mention of the brand name and/or pictures and links to the manufacturers site. C. The dealers web site must not specifically be a "direct sale" site. D. No more than 3 brands can be mentioned in the dealers listing. BONUS: The first 20 retailers signing up for a new listing will receive a FREE limited edition HearthNet CD-ROM ($75.00 value). This CD has over one thousand hearth questions and answers in a searchable format, plus many educational articles and links.
