STRATEGIC BRICK AND CLICK

SabahTravelGuide.Com (STG) is a Vertical Portal totally focused on the development of Tourism Industry of Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. STG started with SMART Partnership with Malaysian Association of Tours & Travel Agents Sabah Chapter. STG is also fully endorsed by both Sabah Tourism and State Government thus making us the leading tourism information an ecommerce hub for the consolidation of the tourism community for the State of Sabah. The Strategy of Brick and Click has been the foundation of the success of STG as STG is a virtual mall for tourism products where ePartners detects their own terms and pricing.

STG lets you sell and manage your own products

STG enables ePartners to sign up and put up for sale your own products and services and be able to update, view, process your own orders listed on our TravelMart section. For your customers, after they sign up as members, they can plan their tours over a period based on their own itinerary planner and request for confirmation of availability from the relevant ePartners that they have chosen and the system is fully automated.

Let your customers shop at their own time and own pace

Once ePartners have confirmed availability of reservations through the system, members will just need to proceed to payment at our Verisign secure payment gate way. ePartners will automatically gets an order confirmation and payment received confirmation via email where you could log in and view your orders, statement and print invoices. This means that your customers could be purchasing your products on the fly. All they need to do is to have an internet connection at any part of the world and pay for you products and services.

Be in the right eMarket place is important for your business

To ride on the internet wave, you have to position your company in the right eMarket place. Having your own website does not mean that you don't need to join an eMarket place as your company or your website will not get the right or worse no traffic at all! As STG is the eMarket place for Sabah Tourism products, having a presence at STG will not only put your business on the internet map but also to enable not only B2C but B2B potentials for your business. As STG is the eMarket place, all consumers and businesses are using STG as the benchmark to measure whether products bought or sold are competitive.

Are online credit card sales safe?

Travel products and services are the safest product to sell. Consumers will have to travel to the destination to consume the products. Since the inception, STG has not experienced a single bad sale. Further more, accepting your customer's payment through our system is even safer than your normal mail order procedure where your clients credit card details are exposed and will be subjected to unscrupulous employees to miss-use these information. With our payment acceptance system, all credit card details will be encrypted thus providing peace of mind to your business as well as increasing your customer's confidence.
