Vouchforthis : Your May Newsletter

Posted on 17. May, 2010 by Martin in Newsletter Archive

Tell us how you are using Vouchforthis

Tell us how you are using Vouchforthis and we will add you to our Member Directory – generating more traffic for your website. You might also get to feature in our next Newsletter. If you have not already told us how you are using vouchforthis, and as a little additional incentive, let us know what page(s) you have installed your widgets on by the end of May and we will add 3 months to your subscription absolutely free!

We will also gift an additional 3 months membership to the person who adds the most testimonials to their account between now and the end of June – so if you have been meaning to dig out those old testimonials and add them to the site, now is the time to do it.

You can see the most recently added testimonials on our new Latest Member Testimonials page. We hope to further develop this so that it becomes a searchable directory of testimonials that allows visitors to look for testimonials for products / services and locations, helping more people to find YOU. More about this soon!

You are using Vouchforthis… aren’t you?

Many businesses register with us, but then don’t go on to use the full range of our services. Your vouchforthis account summary (see below) will tell you what stage you are at with your membership. If you are a little confused about vouchforthis and would like some help, please get in touch with us.

Member Focus – This Month : Business-Scene

With 25,000 businesses and 11,000 Events listed Business-Scene is a great resource for helping small businesses to get noticed and to find new customers.

Business-Scene gets lots of testimonials from members who have attended great events, or who have been happy with the bookings Business-Scene has generated for the events they have listed, or who have achieved positive results from listing their business in the Business-Scene directory.

Business-Scene uses vouchforthis in a number of innovative ways to ensure that relevant testimonials are shown on a number of different pages on the site…

New member sign-up highlighting the benefits existing members have gained

Testimonials received from members attending Business-Scene Connections Events

On their main Testimonials page

The way this has been achieved is to create multiple widgets, including only those relevant testimonials in each widget, and then displaying each widget on the appropriate page in the website. It’s actually easier than it sounds – really!

In addition, Business-Scene members can enter their vouchforthis widget id when editing their business-scene profile, which results in their widget getting automatically displayed as part of their business profile… See my own profile as an example here.

Remember : If you don’t use vouchforthis (and don’t tell us how you use it) we cannot feature you here. So get adding those testimonials, build those widgets, and start deploying them around the web, and maybe you will be featured next month!

About DMJ

DMJ Computer Services own and operate the Vouchforthis website. We build and operate other websites too, and help website owners to deliver more traffic to their websites by using good SEO techniques.

We think of ourselves more as “web-presence” builders these days rather than pure web designers / developers, preferring to use existing technologies to deliver cost-effective results in a timely manner rather than re-inventing the wheel by building websites from scratch. WordPress is our current favourite platform, as it enables us to build good-looking, functional, robust websites for clients very quickly and at a fraction of the cost of a traditional website, whilst at the same time delivering a great solution for website owners to make future modifications to their website themselves without incurring further development expense.

If you would like to discuss a website project or want to explore ways of increasing your traffic or improving your conversion rates, please contact us.
