As you will see, the basis of the familiesrecommend website is ‘word of mouth’ – the best marketing tool of all.

We most often advise businesses to contact a few of their customers to ask them if they would consider providing a review for them on the site. Where this is more difficult for businesses who are not able to contact their customers again (such as cafes, tourist attractions etc) we offer a service to help. If you can offer a freebie or discount then we will help you find reviewers. However, we cannot guarantee the content of the review to be positive! We do not ask for or request any editorial control over reviews, which are obtained through this service. However, it’s a good way to kick start your review page or to boost your review numbers.

Good question. The people that use the website, are either those who want share experiences with others, or those that are looking for something new or to make an informed decision. Whichever, of these, our visitors have come to the website because they are looking to share or looking to find. They are proactive and are visiting the site for a purpose.

This means that if your target market is families, then they are already here. It is a targeted approach to advertising.
