How can your services be so cheap?

Short Story:
  • No resellers.
  • Lower costs.
  • We are our own customer.
Long Story:
Unlike most of our competitors, many of whom are overseas, we are not a startup company funded by venture capitalists. We are a division of a larger company, MARCOA Publishing, Inc., that has been in business since 1966. MARCOA publishes over 200 magazines annually, and Keep Trees® was created because of the exorbitant prices our competitors were charging (and still are) to display digital publications.

As the service became very popular with MARCOA's readership, we decided to release to it the public under the name Keep Trees®. Since this service is a division of a larger company, our overhead, infrastructure, development, and support costs are spread within the company as a whole. Therefore, we are able to provide low prices for a high quality service that we use ourselves every day.
