A sampling of customers who have experienced Baseview’s AdManager and now use Pre1’s SmartPublisher:

“The upgrade from Baseview to SmartPublisher was an easy process. We were very happy with the installation as well as the knowledge of the trainer. SmartPublisher offers many more features than Baseview. Our customer service and sales staff really loves the account management features. We also like the credit card module which will save us time and money.”

“There’s a big difference between Baseview and SmartPublisher; Baseview is an ad-taking system and SmartPublisher is an ad selling system.

“If you can afford to be passive and wait for ads to come to

you, Baseview may be fine. But, to be competitive, Display and Classified reps have to aggressively sell and that’s what SmartPublisher helps accomplish with its integrated Contact Management features. In addition to tools for reps, sales managers can easily monitor the selling and prospecting activity for any rep.”

“Having abandoned Baseview after five years for software that is more friendly to our salespeople and more intuitive for our managers, SmartPublisher is providing us with detailed reports that we couldn’t get from Baseview and allowing us to learn more about our customers and their buying trends.

“The transfer from Baseview to SmartPublisher was virtually seamless, and the

SmartPublisher support team has been extremely responsive to our requests at any time of the day or night. Thanks very much.”

“I found an old Baseview price quote - to upgrade the version we had. So far, the money we have spent with Pre1 over the past three years doesn’t even come close to the upgrade price we were quoted by Baseview.

“Everyone is excited about using the new features in 3.0. They love the new, streamlined ad entry process and the group follow-ups will save reps a lot of time. It’s amazing to me how much SmartPublisher keeps enhancing as a product.”
