Local Link Up passes the 5000 mark

It's amazing but in just a few short months we have managed to gain over 5000 subscribers to Local Link Up. Each of these businesses is enjoying our unique local advertising concept and our base is growing week by week.

Shortly we are going to announce a new way that we intend to incease the number of members yet further to expand our advertising portfolio and make it even better value for our subscribers.............what am I talking about, its free already, how can that get any better!

We only came second but we are still pleased with our progress

Well we are sorry to say that we didnt win the main prize but were in fact the runners up. Not a bad effort but we will try harder next time to make the judges happy.

Local Link Up is a unique concept and perhaps we didnt quite get the message across that we wanted to but over time we are sure that more people will come to realise the unique local advertising concept that is Local Link Up.

We are all a buzz at Local Link Up HQ, it's awards night

Well we have only been around for just under a year but Local Link Up is already up for an award. Just last month we found out that we had been shortlisted for the best use of e-Business award at the 2010 BIBA Awards run by various business agencies in north west where we are based.

Ten people from the team are going along to the ceremony tonight including yours truly. We are up against some other good ideas but we really believe that Local Link Up is truly a market leader and we have our fingers well and truly crossed that the judges will feel that way too.

Whether we win or not, one thing is we can be very proud that from large numbers of businesses judged initially we have shortlisted to the last five!

Local Link up has grown by 30% in the last month

No I am not talking about the waistlines of the developers of Local Link Up, I am talking about new members to our free advertising service.

Last month we reported there was just over 2700 businesses who had started to enjoy the benefits of Local Link Up, well right now the number of Local Link Up members stands at 3887. Thats 3887 businesses enjoying free advertising right now.

An thats not all, the team here are starting to ramp up our efforts to roll out Local Link Up to more towns across the UK and speed up the growth.

Local Link Up is serving up thousands and thousands of free adverts for UK businesses and the network grows daily.

Our aim is to become the UK's premier advertising network and we offer most of our services for free so what are you waiting for.

Local Link Up Extreme Support Pledge

At Local Link Up we are a business which means that along with our many wonderful and totally free advertising services we also provide some chargeable services to our customers. We have a team of very dedicated professionals who have your satisfaction as their goal. We wont have anyone in our team who doesnt really, really care about the service we provide to our customers. If you call us we promise to answer your call with a real person who will try to help you.

Unlike many companies we offer an unlimited and unquestionable support level that we like to call EXTREME SUPPORT. If we charge you for something and you are not happy with what we provided we will work for an unlimited amount of time to give you what we promised at no extra charge. If you are still not happy we will give you a refund. Thats its. Its quite simple. It doesnt effect your statutory rights but then who needs them when you have this level of support.

You will see our Extreme Support pledge published on all forms of contact with us. We keep mentioning it because we really mean it. It's easy to make a pledge but we are doing more that that. We truly want to make all our customers very happy and we will go the extra mile to make sure we do. It's the Local Link Up difference.

Changes this week to Local Link Up

Well seems I don't know what the priorities are around here. The development team have had to park the launch of smart search because of other issues that needed dealing with.

This week they have been working on substantially upgrading the Local Link Up platform with some more flashing and whirring boxes. Quite impressive they are too. They assure me that they were required for our ever growing customer base so who am I to argue.

It's an interesting fact that the servers that run Local Link Up put out enough waste heat energy to heat a small house. Most companies use air conditioning to cool their servers however at Local Link Up we have come up with a more environmentally friendly way of dealing with this issue and are pumping the waste heat via a filter and it to our offices so the more you use our servers, the warmer we get in the office technically!
