Your Macho and alpacamales.com

For the owner of a certified alpaca male, www.alpacamales.com offers the ultimate exposure and marketing opportunity.

Why should I have my machos on www.alpacamales.com?

We have in place a substantial marketing plan which involves Alpacas Australia, Alpacas on the Move, Regional Newsletters and use of the internet. If your macho is on this site, every time we advertise the site we are advertising your macho.
Owners of males on the site will be invited to participate directly in larger marketing campaigns bringing even higher profile.

But I do my own advertising!

Excellent!
Until now there has been no focus point where potential clients could go to readily access all the available information about prospective mates for their hembra. Now there is! We will be making alpacamales.com that focus. Take a look at the way males have been promoted; a pretty picture, a judge's comment, a statement about how many ribbons have been won or maybe even some three year old fleece results. Once people realise what is available to them at the click of a button the effectiveness of previous advertising methods will reduce dramatically.

But I have all the information!

Fantastic! It is great to have good records.
Who do you trust? People are becoming more and more cynical about what they see when reading advertising. Alpacamales.com is an independent source of information. Our show results database is totally independent and much more accurate than other published results. If your macho is being widely used, how long do you think you can continue to keep accurate, up to date records? We do all the work and maintain the records for you.

But my Macho isn't in the league of the animals on alpacamales.com!

Alpacamales.com is not elitist! The machos already on the site, or committed to it, range in service fee from $165 to $1800. If you don't think you male is "good enough" to be on alpacamales.com then why is he certified and being offered for outside matings? The website makes a point of not promoting one male over another. They all have their good points. The tools do not exist at the moment to prove that any one male is better than any other one! It has been said that the only reason an owner wouldn't put their macho on alpacamales.com is because, "they don't want people able to access all the facts". Not everybody wants to spend a thousand dollars, or more, per mating!

But I don't have internet access!

All the more reason why you should have your machos on www.alpacamales.com. With over 80% of Alpaca Association members having internet access the information about your males needs to be there for them to find. The information needs to be complete and up to date. As we do all the work for you, you don't need to worry about not having internet access yourself. Each book is effectively an internet website for each male. Your males can be on the internet even though you are not.

Is there any other reason why my certified males should be on alpacamales.com?

Plenty.

• You can give a prospective user of your male a book, containing all the up to date information about your macho, in a very professional format.
• When you have open days or attend shows or any other promotional event, you can give out your machos' books, knowing that the information is up to date and correct.
• You have a very easy method of verifying what progeny of your macho are being registered (match the A4s that you give out to the descendants list).
• You can easily track the show results of your machos' progeny, at any show in Australia and New Zealand. At the moment we have no other guide to how well the progeny are performing.
• Everytime we promote the website, to all members of the Alpaca Association, we will be promoting your male.
• The educational resource that we will develop as part of the website will contribute to it being a focus for people interested in breeding alpacas. The males on the site will share that focus.
