Business Directory

This seems to be getting nowhere, only trying to help.

Guess it's the thought thats counts

[Dissident]

I agree.
I would much rather make use of an SAFooty poster than someone else. Whether it be advice (Like I have asked before on here, sleepers etc) or work (scraping my front yard) I think it's valuable.

[Spot]

I have moved this to this site because more people are on the SANFL site & I want to see what everyone thinks.

I don't know if this has been tried before but I think that it might be beneficial to a lot of people if we can set up a business directory & save it on this site, so if you have a service to offer (a genuine service, that is), then you may wish to register your business name, contact details & what you can offer. It can be listed alphabetically, eg: arborists, balloon sellers, curtains, dog washers etc., etc. Thoughts, anyone?

Great idea

I have just called about 15 people and still don't know who will and can do the job I require.
I am happy to pay cash and just want the job done.

I will need many more tradies and guess I will have to keep asking around the club to get someone to do it for me.

Another option would be a referral business directory.

If you get a job done well, you give them a plug by posting the business' details on here. If someone uses the referral, then when they ring up they tell the person they saw a reference plugging their work on SA Footy. Alternatively a Mod rings the named business and says they are getting plugged on the site and would they like to make a donation.

Would suggest that it would require a dedicated thread under General Discussion and that topic titles list the service - eg "Paving", "Whitegoods". Content should provide contact details (including a name and tel no), a short testimonial and any other info that is pertinent.

SA Footy Posters can then have the option to either put their own details up, or to get a fellow Poster to put their details up with a testimonial.

Just a thought, anyway. ???

There's already a feed-back website up and running in Australia for products and services (maybe more for products I expect).

I forget what its called but a family in Victoria (I think) made a stack of $$$$$$ when they sold the site recently to one of the big web-site companies

Because we have a forum layout we would need a way to make it useable without having to plough the 10 pages of comments and I am not sure how it would work without a lot of work for someone to maintain it. The other issue is what to do in the unlikely ( ) event that a referral on here turns out badly.

Centurions good idea is going around in circles a bit maybe we just need to leave it with the mods/admin to decide what they want to do with it, if anything

It would be good to also include players in directory as I am guessing a good amount of them would be plumbers, sparkies, painters, chippies, etc. (just a way for supporters to help players get some extra cash in hand away from the celery cap).

And he will also know where you live after that ... Keep all flammables safely locked up and hidden away

Punk has already been out to my place, I didn't reveal the location of our flammables. I'm pretty certain he has a 'travel kit' in his car just in case though.
