3 01 What is a waytag? Waytag is a new kind of addressing for an internet-connected world. Customers don t want the hassle of trying to find your address in this time starved world. What they want is a quick and easy way of finding you. Most often, they are doing this whilst en route somewhere and if you can t be found immediately on their smartphone, they will find someone else who can be. This is where your waytag comes in it s a simple and easy way to enable your business to be found instantly. A waytag uses your business website domain name or brand name as an address, so it is easy to remember and becomes an easy way for people to find you. eg.!mcdonalds.com You tag your business location to your waytag so customers can find you first time everytime. All waytags start with an exclamation mark! (we call it a BANG)

4 02 What do I get? We know it is frustrating when customers cannot find you, especially when there are 14 Smith streets in your area, so we created a simpler addressing system to make it easy for people to find you, using your unique brand name as your address. Everyone knows how website domain naming works, the www bit, followed by the company name followed by.com or the local country code.co.za. By telling people that waytag names work the same, you just replace www. with an exclamation mark (!), we quickly get the whole world to understand how to find you using your waytag name. By mimicking the internet naming system we have created an address system that is embedded in the very fabric of the internet. This means that you can now use your website name as your waytag name for your physical address, so that your customers can find you. We even cater for multiple locations linked to your name so that your customers can find you wherever they are.! + Website name = Your Location(s) on a map just one click away from your customer navigating to you Not all businesses own a website name so we have reserved.tag for you..tag names are perfect for small businesses operating from a single location.
