Keyconex, Not Your Average Social Network

Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Google+, Blogger, Snap Chat, Reddit, Vine, MySpace, Periscope…There’s a million social networks out there and it seems like a new one comes out every day. And they all do some version of posting pictures, statuses, and videos to share with your peers. So why should you figure out another social network?

Keyconex is built to stand out from the pack of all the same social networks. First of all, we’re here to connect the business-to-business industry. Instead of connecting one individual with another, Keyconex connects one business with another business. Just how LinkedIn connects the business community on an individual basis, Keyconex will connect companies with each other.

Also, the majority of all these social networks are for fun. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and more serve to entertain, connect, and inform us. Sure businesses can use these social networks to connect with their audience and advertise, but that’s not what it was created for. Only LinkedIn was designed to connect business people with their colleagues, but still that is only on an individual basis. 

Keyconex has a real purpose beyond networking for businesses too. Here’s a problem businesses commonly face: they want a new business partner, supplier, or investor, but don’t know how to go about finding them. They try a Google search, but they’re bombarded with thousands of search results that aren’t what they’re looking for. Or you sign up for a freelancer website only to have applicants not respond back and have an added fee tacked onto their hourly rate. Keyconex solves that problem.

Businesses looking for new products and services can save time by utilizing the Keyconex network of products and services. Instead of searching with Google, you won’t get any sponsored or unrelated results in Keyconex. It works great for those businesses who want to showcase what they offer on Keyconex as well. For a reasonable monthly or annual rate, companies can build a Keyconex profile to showcase what they have to offer. Not only that, but they have access to customers that are interested in their products and services. That’s not advertising; that’s a new source of customers. It’s a win-win for both types of businesses. Those looking for products can find it simply and rest assured is a credible business and those providing can get new customers, expanding their market to the entire world.


Social media marketing is already being seen as a real business tool, but now you’re convinced that Keyconex is made for those in the business community. There’s no cat videos or Buzzfeed articles here. Keyconex just solves a problem that almost every business faces. Count down the days until we launch in September and follow us on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest and Google+ while you wait.

Meet your newest Salesman

No matter how big or small your company already is, you have dreams of bringing it to the next level. You’ve tried a thousand different ways to grow it. Magazine ads, billboards, radio spots, another website redesign, told everyone you’ve encountered about your business, and even trusted an advertising agency who swore they would make your band a household name. But none of it worked out as you hoped, did it?

It’s no secret that business owners don’t have a lot of free time on their hands. Between bookkeeping, managing employees, targeting new customers, and working with existing customers, there’s little to no time left to deal with advertising. So instead you shell out the big bucks to get someone else to carry it out for you.

Traditional advertising costs a fortune. The average cost for a national 30 second commercial is around $350,000, a 30 second radio spot starts at $2,000, a magazine ad costs up to $25,000 for a full page ad, and a national newspaper ad costs around $28,000 for a half-page. Unlike with digital media, you can’t tell exactly how many people actually viewed your ad once it’s aired. Sure, they’ll give you an idea of how many impressions the TV show gets, but what if most of the viewers turned the channel or fast-forwarded through your ad and missed it? All of these traditional mediums aren’t a sure thing either. Once you do get a hold of the audience who saw you ads, you still have to close the sale yourself.

How much would you pay for a service where businesses all around the world are searching for exactly what your company offers? Keyconex subscription packages start at a monthly rate far less than a traditional marketing campaign and provide much more. At that price, Keyconex is the cheapest salesperson you’ll ever employ and also the most effective. When a potential customer finds you through Keyconex, you know they’re interested in the products and services you provide.

Ready to sign up yet? Well you can’t just now because Keyconex doesn’t launch until September, but we want you to be the first one to sign up. Until then, follow us on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest and Google+ for more information about how Keyconex can help your business grow.
