What does Openherd do?

Openherd.com is a website designed for one purpose: to help breeders promote their farms and market their alpacas, products and services to the entire world using the most advanced, well-designed tools and the most current and effective internet marketing mediums available.

By bringing thousands of alpaca breeders together into one marketplace, visitors will know that their searches and purchases are from the widest, most complete selection available, so they don't have hunt all over the internet to find the best match for their needs.

Why is Openherd so popular?

The internet, economy, and the alpaca industry itself are constantly changing. The way things were 3 years ago is not the way they are today. Breeders have recognized the need to stay up with the latest developments and the most effective ways of marketing online otherwise their sales will suffer.

Since Openherd's launch in 2009, we have become recognized throughout the industry as the only site that is changing with the times and constantly staying up with the latest developments and trends to bring its members an easy-to-use, affordable, world-class marketing venue. We hear from our members all the time that Openherd is so easy to use and that they love how good they look.

Openherd has proved popular with existing breeders AND outside visitors because it has the caliber to meet the high standards that customers expect from a serious sales website. Studies clearly show that site visitors base their trust and future patronage on their initial "halo" effect of a website. If it doesn't appeal to them immediately, they will likely go elsewhere.

Summary: Openherd has become so popular because we are committed to helping our members market in the most effective ways by staying current with all of the lastest developments, so you don't have to. Openherd is the only alpaca website that meets the high expectations of visitors, making them more likely to become your future customers!
