Offers a simple and effective way to acquire, retain and up-sell SMB customers.

SitePal, a technology solution that allows small business owners to create speaking avatars for any web site, yesterday announced a new hosting partners program that offers a simple and effective way to acquire, retain and up-sell SMB customers.

The SitePal speaking character platform from Oddcast is a personalization and conversion tool that's easy for SMBs to understand and use. The company allows SMBs to rapidly customize and deploy a virtual spokesperson, salesperson or customer service rep to their website, producing immediate increases in traffic, site stickiness and conversions. Thousands of SMBs pay a robust monthly subscription fee for the company, which can provide hosting partners with over $100 of additional annual revenue per subscriber.

Anna Love, Director of Business Development for Bravenet.com recently stated, "Our business development partnership and integration with SitePal is an exciting relationship for us at Bravenet. This partnership has demonstrated our ongoing commitment to providing next generation business solutions for our customer base. The SitePal platform provides our users with an effective way to increase site stickiness and visitor loyalty, while helping them drive traffic and convert site visitors into buyers."

"Millions of users can now experience the power of talking SitePal avatars on their business web sites. Virtual Salespeople provide a personalized call to action and are proven to increase conversion rates. Web site owners spend a fortune to drive visitors to their sites. With the SitePal-Bravenet offering, they don't have to spend a fortune to convert site visitors into online buyers," said Adi Sideman CEO, Oddcast.
