OK – tonight’s meeting is full of good useful info. We have info and (if the signal is good) a demo of a free short-cut tool for all you social network marketers not already using it. There will be updates on some of the big events going on “down south” plus all the local news, your updates and more… Look forward to seeing you later
Please feel free to use this email addon for your websites and emails – as every bit of publicity helps – Thanks
I have managed to acquire http://www.lifestylespain.com and intend to turn it into a public information portal – I am NOT intendng to re-invent the wheel – or duplicate any of the other quite excellent websites that are established about Spain – I would much prefer to simply link to them and allow visitors to Lifestyle Spain to access the full wealth of information that is online about living in Spain. So if you know of good quality websites we can link to, please let me know.
The Lifestyle Spain website also offers an opportunity to put deals, for sale items, properties etc rather like a full colour illustrated classified – with plenty of opportunity for logos and photos. It will be free, for the time being – and any body who joins now will not be charged for at least a year after we start charging for entry onto the site – so if you have a property for sale or want to take part in Lifestyle Spain – now is your chance to join. We are not suggesting you bypass Estate Agents (we welcome contributions from them) but we do think it gives an opportunity to flesh out agent ads with the photos of your property that you like and they have not had the space to use!
I still have a lot of work to do on the site - but I have already put a property online… so it will give you an idea of what can be done

An Exclusive offer from The Grapevine Magazine and Marina Alta Business Club to all local businesses and advertisers. If you are in business in the Marina Alta Region in Spain – we have a very special offer for you, exclusive to the Jávea Grapevine and the New Calpe Grapevine… Working with Marina Alta Business Club we have managed to secure you a FREE web page – for your business – designed and maintained by Gaile Griffin Peers, the manager of Marina Alta Business Club – COMPLETELY FREE.
MARINA ALTA BUSINESS COMMUNITY can be found at www.marina-abc.com
“We are very, very worried about the effects that the recession is having on small businesses in Spain” said Gaile Griffin Peers of Marina Alta Business Club, “and we feel it is our responsibility to help where we can.”
As an active business club, representing the interests of small businesses in the Jávea area, Marina Alta Business Club has established a variety of membership benefits that are helping the Club and its core businesses to grow – but Gaile doesn’t think that is enough, with the troubles facing businesses here. The idea of the free web space offer for ALL businesses came about as part of an internal general improvement of the club’s membership benefits. Gaile has been developing web packages that give existing and new members the opportunity to develop large and complex websites. “Current members and new businesses joining the club before the end of June are getting 200Mb worth of web space as part of their membership – they can use it for what ever they wish (providing it is legal) – for business, web shops, blogging, guest-books, leisure, family, friends – whatever they want. All the tools are in the package – and there are a great number of website developers around who can develop the space for you if you need it, but are worried about how to do it yourself.”
The member’s main web pages are still put together by the club manager… so why is Marina Alta Business Club prepared to GIVE AWAY INTERNET PAGES TO NON-MEMBERS FOR FREE?
“We are very aware that internet business success is built around the number of safe links going to and from your website. So the more pages that we can all link to and from, the higher the profile all our users (members and non-members) will have on search engines. This increased prominence will help drive business to us all.
“ No business can survive in a recession, if it is isolated – this is “Bringing Business Together” in a way that benefits everyone.”
When we asked what businesses would have to do to take up this FREE offer, Gaile Griffin Peers said
“It is open to ANY business prepared to offer a small discount to our members – we are asking nothing else in return AND we will do all the work putting up the page and providing the web-space.”
“This type of practical business co-operation is what will help us all to survive until the economy starts to pick up, so we are delighted to be working with The Grapevine on this project”.
