First off, apologies for the lateness... it's been a hectic week and we're finally able to put the tools down for a break.
February was a very full month for us, so I'll try to keep each bit short so we don't have a novel here...
Visitors: Our logs show some great numbers.
A total of 2,620,675 visitors through the door in February, helped in great part by some of the activities noted below. This pushes our month average for the last 12 months above the 2-million mark! An average of 11.9 pages per visit, with a low of 1 and a high of 14.
Relaunch: We got our site redesigned and relaunched in great stead, and pushed out to the web only 3 days after our estimated launch date and well within the 'give or take' magin... so we're chuffed. Had some great feedback, many thanks to our testers and facebook fans for the feedback and suggestions. The Twitter feed has also been reskin'd to the new colours, and we're working on converting the blog now. Facebook, of course, can't be customised.
We would also like to thank Harvey Kane of
RagePank for his invaluable advise and suggestions on some quick SEO improvements.
Giveaways: We launched four new giveaways in February, three for Scholastic (NZ) and one for Symantec. These are proving to be VERY popular and have drawn a lot of new interest to the site. We are aiming to have a fairly steady stream of giveaways running, so if you want some easy promotion or pay someone to run your giveaways, you may want to consider us instead, as we will do it for no charge for our suppliers, except that we ask you to cover the cost of postage out to the winners. That's GOT to be cheaper than your current methods.
Upcoming Plans: This month we are adding new functionality to various aspects of the site, including the internal search engine and a couple of the more heavy-duty processing engines. We are also expecting to launch at least two more giveaways, and hopefully welcome a few more suppliers.
And there you have it. Thanks to all the active suppliers for their great support, and we'd love to see more of you all.
Cheers...
