The person behind the invitation
Hi, I'm James Wrest.
I'm James Wrest at Blue Swans Consulting. I'm building a community business directory, starting in Bournemouth and nearby areas.
I'm inviting businesses to help build the first set of pages. I'll prepare your draft from information available online, and you decide which services, coverage and contact details appear before publication. If you've received an invitation from me, you can reply directly with questions.
James
Before you take part
A few things
worth knowing.
Is the business page really free?
Yes. There is no charge for the business page described here. If we offer a separate paid service later, that would be a separate choice.
Why are you offering a free page?
I'm putting together the first set of business pages for the directory. You get a draft to review, and I get to build the directory with details the businesses have checked. There is no charge for this page.
Do I need to write my own page?
No. We can prepare a draft from the information we find online. You check it and tell us about the services, areas and contact details you'd like included.
Does my business have to be in Bournemouth?
We're starting with Bournemouth and nearby areas. Tell us where you're based and which areas you serve so we can check whether the project is a fit.
Is the community hub live yet?
The hub is being put together. Requesting a listing lets us prepare your draft and discuss the next step. We will confirm publication timing with you; this page does not promise a launch date.
Will a listing guarantee enquiries?
No. A listing is a way to present your business and contact details. We do not guarantee visits, enquiries or work.
Can I change or remove my details?
Yes. You can ask us to correct the details or remove your listing. If you received an invitation, reply to James to make a request.
