The Firm List – Honest business …

Posted on Januar 29, 2009, under General.

I just got this reply to my request for mediadata, as i was thinking of paying for the Full Membership:

Hello Chris,

To be honest, I might be phasing out Full Memberships in the
near future. They really haven’t been worth it for me and I will
be exploring other options in the future.

Pretty much every firm who has become a Full Member firm has
done so to either try to get higher up in the list when they are
in a city/town with lots of listings, or else they feel they’ve gotten
a lot of benefit (in whatever way) from being on The Firm List and
chose to give a little back.

I really don’t think it will be all that beneficial for you… the features
I usually think are worth it are the chance to have more exposure
(on the site and in Google) through Profiles and Press Releases,
but I am exploring opening those up to all firms in the near
future, so it wouldn’t be fair to you.

Sorry I don’t have that data together and sorry to sound like I
am talking you out of giving me money, but I think it’s probably
the right thing.

Let me know if I can be of some other help.

I believe this is the true way of keeping customers. Well done, Matte.

The Firm List is a world-wide directory of web design and developement companies, it has about 15000 entries in over 170 countries.
