Hi geeks
Could i pick you brain if you do not mind please?
I came across the thread strated months back re google/search optimisation etc and so i wanted to ask yee experienced geeks what ye think of this call-
I had a lady ring me there before New Years saying they were starting a company which was a social networking website targeted at businesses, i.e I would have a "profile " page etc (sounding similar to facbook- a wall etc)
Then It would be up to me to recruit my pals to join my profile (sounds like "like" on FB)
then all the people of all the businesses who join would sign up - presumablt theyre hoping all the businesses will get their friends to join....
All the people will be emailed all the relevant offers....(similar to Living Social type concept)
The business is targted at local businesses-all trades etc not just beauty, and not for the large shops....and the idea ( I live in Dulin, Ireland) is that the shopper/client can type in the area of the town they live in and find me, see my offers, get emails etc
i.e they type in the postcode area etc and all the business will show, all the special offers, recently added status' etc -like a hompage (from what it sounds like) Like an interactive yellow pages she said
I asked how it differs from FB..... she said that on FB its not just businesses etc obvioulsy....
All for 5 euro a month
The only thing apart from the fee is I have to have a special off/sale/competiton etc on the 12th of each month
That way all businesses listed are having a sale on the same date
They seem to think this will draw people...that the people joining ("liking") the page and then the email notification will have a large amount of ppl checking the website daily
They did say that it was like a mini webpage for each business, allowing interaction from the customer/client
Im unsure if its a good idea, am clueless and always seem to pay these ppl, but i think this is reasonable and differnt to what ive been approcahed with before -am i worng??
I have recently posted FB questions so am definitelythinking along the website lines.....
HELP:!:
