The Social Networking Site For the City Of Newport

Why Our Newport Directory is different

A core objective of the Our Newport site is to bring local business and trades closer to local residents and local customers.

We hope to achieve this with the business directory that is within the site.

It's a business directory that is very different from the type of directories that local business's are used to.

The Our Newport Directory allows the local business member to access their advetising platform to update and alter it as and when they wish to.

In providing this flexibility for our business members. We have created a Business Directory not only allows the users of the site to find what they are looking for but also brings a much broader and informative knowledge of the local buisness they are seeking.

Because the Business member has access to their advertising platform they are able to let the users of the site know when they are having a sale, or if their opening times are changing etc, etc. This information is brought directly to the users of the site via a live feed situated on the main page.

Basically speaking, when a local business wants to let the people of the city know something about their business they can do it in real time and the users of the site will be aware as it happens.

For example, if a local takeaway was having a bit of a quiet night of it and decided that they would introduce a buy one get one free offer for a couple of hours to upturn the trade, they would access their page, type the detail of the offer and post it. This post would show in our live feed on the main page of Our Newport and any visitors on the site at that time would be instantly aware of the offer from the take away. Real advertising, in real time, benifiting both the business and the consumer.

Our Newport Business Directory is all about letting customers know what a business is doing rather than just listing a name and address and then leaving the customer to find out the rest for themselves.
