Unlike other business networks or B2B social networks, Ziliot.com will make the discovery and connections with credible business contacts in emerging markets easier, it also offers marketing tools to increase sales.

Ziliot International Ltd is a startup business concept supported by Protomo Jyväskylä and announced today the release of its next generation business network and B2B marketplace platform making it the most complete business networking plus B2B marketplace offering on the market for product displays, business to business social networking, social media marketing for businesses and for connecting with
businesses in the emerging markets.

Ziliot.com enhances the engagement experience that manufacturers need to connect with retailers, distributors, agents by providing rich features for business networking, B2B e-commerce, B2B discount deals, product or video display opportunities and target marketing tools all on one platform.Ziliot.com’s business network enables connections with credible businesses all around the world through its business networking features and the ability to interact. The B2B e-commerce features allows the display of products in a B2B marketplace format that enables buyers, resellers, distributors to easily see and request for more information. The Discount deals feature supports the creation and purchasing of discount deals by hardware producers, software distributors and other products targeting businesses. This business network will provide a semi version of their websites, a reason to connect on the internet in order to increase sales possibilities and to engage with credible partners and contacts from emerging markets due to the verification of user accounts. The un- networked manufacturing business in the emerging economies will have a reason to connect and conduct credible business even without ownership of a webpage because Ziliot.comhas verified solutions for company accounts and public pages for companies which can replace company websites.

Ziliot.com presents a model whereby business related organizations are given a much greater role in the provision of credibly business contacts and connections. The platform is powered with the newest technology and aims to eliminate the noise caused in typical business networks and create engagement
possibilities within the right target audience. Ziliot.com was conceptualized to provide manufacturing firms, businesses with relevant tools to promote their products and to take advantage of business networking facilities knowing fully well the limitations and the challenges of trust when dealing with business contacts from emerging economies that are separated by distance, languages, time and lack of relevant information. According to Forrester Research “There’s a lack of strategy in most B2B social media efforts and understanding of unique focus and appropriate use for each distinct social channel”.

From over 250 businesses responded,75% indicated challenges with online social networks and B2B marketing channels. According to the Development Director of Jyväskylä Innovation Ltd, Kari Halttunen, “There is currently an unmet need to reach emerging markets, and without a service like Ziliot.com, it is really hard to find such markets”.
