After being in Tenerife for the past 5 year I have noticed that finding a good service or tradesman is still very difficult. Yes it's easy to pick up the directory and call one but, how good are they and what experiences have others had?
Tenerife Forum has been a fantastic tool for finding them but I have found that most that recommend are affiliated with the service I need.
On another note, I want to sell or buy something in the classifieds. Again Tenerife Forum has this facility also. But what about the buyer or the seller? How reliable are the? Where is their feedback?
I have also noticed on the forum many asking questions about starting a business, promoting a business and how to make money.
"get to the point woodchip"
Over the past 5 year I have seen so many businesses start and fail and as an owner of an international company with manufacturing and sales operations in 6 countries, it makes my heart grieve to see them come and go so quickly, with the main reason being poor promotion. I don't believe it's poor management as this is something you learn as you go, you are not born with this skill.
With the aid of my IT department, I have developed a FREE platform for such promotion and recommendation.
The site has two sides.
An organised directory for which you can promote your business with pictures, recommend a business and your customers can leave feedback and positive or negative points.
And a catalogued searchable classifieds section where businesses can sell there products locally and to other islands with the PayPal facility and a little help from the post office. For example: a second hand shop can place all of there stock on the classifies in section that pertains to the item. Add photographs, submit and they are no long waiting for customers to ener their shop to make a sale.
Private individuals can sell their unwanted items, request wanted items and even make a business out of it for free.
I am not making, nor do I need to make any money from this site. Its just my way of helping companies and individuals branch out, make money and get back on their feet.
The site is called Tenerife Traders and it can be found at www.tenerifetraders.co.uk
