New Members Area due by end of September
We will keep this newsletter short and spicy as we do not want
to spoil the surprise and excitement that is building up at wholesalepages.
If you are not sure what we are referring to then please refer
to our previous newsletter for further info:
As we had mentioned last week that we expect to launch the revamped
members area and all the new features by the end of month, well
the good news is that we are on track and are beginning to upload
the new scripts and programs. I am sure you must be itching to
find out what has happened in our office regarding development
since we sent out the last newsletter.
We want make you wait any longer and lets get on with
the progress report.
1. QA of the entire data has been completed
and it is now ready to be uploaded. We have carried out several
verification tests using our local servers and everything seems
to be in excellent working order. Although we have only taken
a sentence to mention this, but the task itself has literally
drained our staff as not only such work is repetitive but also
requires extreme concentration and dedication. We are glad that
we are over and done with this for the time being and the best
part is - our staff is now very well equipped to handle this kind
of work. What this means is that as an Wholesale Pages privileged
member you will always be gaining and benefiting from our experienced
staff.
2. Initially we had decided to launch the new
members area and the preview section simultaneously. The reason
was that we want to give our new visitors a complete first hand
feel of what to expect as a WholesalePages member. However developing
the preview section is another challenge altogether and although
we are working on it, however we do not want to delay the launch
of our new members area. Since we really care for our members,
therefore we have decided to delay the launch of the preview section
by a couple of weeks so that the members area can be launched
on time i.e. in less than two weeks time
3. Just like previous newsletters we are really
apologetic for not being able to let you know what additional
value the new resources and directories will bring to our members.
However, the waiting game will be over very soon as the launch
date is only a couple of weeks away. We recently asked one of
our staff to determine the percentage increase in the resources
we are currently offering as compared to what we will be offering
after the launch. The rough estimate was an increase of over 110%
(this does not include the ongoing services we will be offering
such as more regular updates and additions)
4. Regarding wholesale offers and products please
refer to our for further information about how we are collecting
this data. We also mentioned about the that we will be launching.
During the last few days we have started collecting wholesale
offers and products and when we launch these directories, you
will not be presented with empty pages. Although wholesalers on
their own will be leaving their offers in the directory but we
don’t want our members to wait and wait before the wholesaler
decides to leave an offer in our directory. Our staff will ensure
that new offers are presented on a very regular basis. There are
a few similar services out there that are charging nearly £50
only for this feature alone not to mention the numerous other
valuable resources that we are offering to our members.
5. We mentioned about the in the last newsletter. We have rigorously
tested the feature and are glad to announce that it is looking
and working better than we had expected.
6. There is some good news for affiliates, we
are improving our affiliate section. Several new banners have
been designed. We will be providing a greater number of affiliate
promotion tools to our members, however these tools will be offered
over a course of the next few months as and when they are fully
developed. We will also be running affiliate competitions on a
very regular basis.
We are all set to launch by the end of this month,
however we would still like to wait for one more week before we
deliver the exact launch date. We will be running several tests
to ensure the smooth working of our members area as we really
want to avoid last minute changes and mishaps. What we can say
for sure is that all this waiting will be worth it and you will
certainly cherish the decision of upgrading your membership.
We have so much liked the statement that we have been reiterating
for the last few newsletters that we have made it our Mission
Statement:
“Wholesalepages - True one stop
shop for all your bargain hunts and wholesale sourcing needs in
UK.”
