Virtual Tradeshows Launch….

Virtual TradeshowsCompanies are constantly informing us that they are investing so much with trade shows and/or events for little or no return on their investment. An investment which often stretches into $100,000s of dollars each year.

We have addressed this issue through introducing a Virtual Trade Show for a minimal investment, to a much larger audience and for a full years representation. Our Virtual Trade Shows compliment our existing exhibitor listings and help attract yet more users to our sites. As you may already know, we keep extensive lists of all the industry events globally, for example our Military Event List is used on a weekly basis by thousands of people. However, not all of our customers can or want to advertise at a huge event and therefore our solutions is simple.

Enter the Virtual Trade Show – a unique spot where customers can get a little more exposure for their company and product/service. It is similar to a supplier listing but we display the data in a very unique way as it actually mimics being at an industry event with booths and halls and a simple click is all it takes to view your information to assist you being introduced to new business contacts. (Thankfully, we have not found a way to virtually walk yet).

We already have some great ideas about where to take this feature in the future, but for now it is doing a great job for our customers, check it out @ Airport Virtual Trade Show.

Industry Specific Job Boards

Finally, we have completed the release of our online recruitment sections to each of our platforms. These are industry specific, job boards and best of all, for a limited time we are allowing job to be added completely free of charge.

This is a great opportunity if you are looking to fill a position in your own company or if you are a recruitment company looking to promote vacancies for your clients. Why not give it a try? Its currently free to add jobs and free for applicants to apply!

Set up an account in less than a minute, enter the details of the position and sit back and relax. We’ll do all the hard work for you. Your applicants can read the detailed description and get in touch with you directly. Posting your jobs to our platforms ensures your positions are exposed to a highly targeted audience such as our site readership / members.

Site Changes – October 2010

We would like to try and keep everyone up to date when we make a site change, we have a lot of users and customers and it would be a shame for some of these new features to slip under the radar. So here we go in no particular order:

Tenders
We had a slight problem figuring out how many tenders we had, so we altered a few of the scripts we use to calculate this data and now you should find the tender count accurate all the time.

Header Navigation
As great as the old header was, we felt that it was time to change it, make the information more readily available and easy to use (that is what header navigation is for after all), now we have all the major links to site content in one place.
