What is acsGarden.com?
"This is a content and feature-rich environment that will
pretty much provide all kinds of gardening solutions and ideas to the budding
green thumb. The design of the site is excellent, generally well-maintained and
contains a wealth of information, articles, advice, tips and even excerpts from
commercially available videos from the online shop" - Internet.Au
magazine (May 2002)
acsGarden.com provides everything you find in any other monthly gardening
magazine; but instead of being printed, it is seen and read on the internet.
Readers don't have to pay anything: It is FREE to everyone; and unlike other
Australian gardening magazines, it is read by people all around the world.
More than just a magazine, acsGarden.com uses the interactivity of the Internet
to provide unique and useful resources such as a searchable plant directory,
current global events listings, discussion forums and even online training.
Developed by John Mason and staff at The Australian Correspondence Schools, it
provides access to services and expertise that are unique; and go way beyond
what you can ever get in the print media. Imagine:
-
A magazine that includes short gardening videos
-
Forums where you can ask a question, then check back later on to get a
personalized answer
-
An interactive garden course where you can study and learn to landscape a home
garden
-
A plant directory, where you can search the data base and get a photo and
information about all sorts of different plants.
-
FREE resources such as the organisation directory and events listings where you
can upload your own details AT NO CHARGE
Why get involved in this site?
There are several reasons why this site is seen by much larger numbers of
people than many other garden sites:
-
We already has a huge profile on the internet (through our 3 ACS websites)
which is used to promote this site
-
We have over 5,000 subscribers to our monthly email newsletter.
-
The site is constantly promoted through our other activities (magazines, our
school, books, videos, trade shows, etc.)
-
ACSGARDEN.COM has a well established on-line community of readers who use the
site for research, on-line shopping, keeping updated with new trends, products
and ideas; asking (and answering) questions from fellow enthusiasts and more..
If you approach the internet properly, it can work. We generate a lot of
business on the internet selling courses, books & videos. Talk to us at
admin@acsgarden.com: perhaps we can help you through our experience.
This site is highly targeted and can provide enormous benefits for your
business. If you are not already being seen on the internet: here is a great
chance to get involved. If you are already on the net, here is a unique
opportunity to greatly increase your exposure.

monthly awards and giveaways are all currently under development and will be
available before the end of the year.
