Malls & More beta now online

We moved the professional information and networking site www.mallsandmore.com for client Malls & More ltd. into beta stage - on the 16.08.2010.

The site now has a new front page displaying the core areas of information and networking.

New members during beta stage will join as Early Members (EM).

There will be additonal services and all members are able to post their contributions on the site directly to Twitter and LinkedIn just by adding a tick in a box - pressto.

 

Malls and More to move to beta stage

The end of the alpha stage is now in sight. The target date is 16.08.2010. From that day or shortly after beta stage will be running.

What does it mean?

For all members subscribed and with an active profile by that day there will be no change - you will be a First Member with the status FM and the benefits detailed in our ToU. The benefits for FM include free membership and sharing in the success of m&m.

All those joining during beta stage will automatically receive the EM status - Early Members. The benefits for EM include free membership.

What more?

  • We expect to grow the site more quickly.
  • We will develop additional services.
  • The various databases will be extended and
  • we will always be happy to follow member's suggestions and add features.
  • Preparation of the full release in the Autumn 2010.

We may not quite be ready in the Autumn but the system will be very close to full release as we are already running a fully tested site.

Malls and More online for 7 months

MallsandMore.com (m&m) is now in it's 7 months and alpha phase will end shortly.

We have added various features including a newsletter, more mall listings, currency calculator for pay-check with live exchange rate feeds and calculators for finance, mortgage and affodibility.

The handbook is growing step-by-step and membership is increasing, though the system could handle more.

The uptake of the newsletters is encouraging and we have more than 6.000 subscribers currently.

 

Malls and More online for 4 months

MallsandMore.com (m&m) has now been online for more than 4 months and we are coming to the end of vigorous testing in alpha phase.

Needless to say it took longer than expected. But we added two important features:

  1. Probapbly one of the largest Mall Directories online for free. There are more than 5,500 malls listed in over 30 countries. The depth of information varies and we are looking to members to fill in more detail along the way.
  2. Check-your-Pay is a database covering more than 30 countries as well listing salaries for people in Centre Management. Members can add a record or more, ideally, and this will give them access for 3 months to the data. Then all you need is add a new record. The data entry is anonymous and no member will be able to see who added what. The database is displayed in sortable tables allowing members to view it in many different combinations.

Next is increasing the membership and we started a low key web marketing approach while still in alpha phase.

Come and have a look at www.mallsandmore.com.

 

 

Malls and More is online

Finally we launched MallsandMore.com (m&m).

m&m is a B2B site for professionals in the business of developing, designing and managing retail projects from a single shop to multiples to malls of all sizes.

This site is open by invitation only to active people working in this field.

MallsandMore.com offers really just two things:

  • Information and
  • Networking
  • plus the environment of being around colleagues, competitors and some friends working actively in this field.

Naturally each heading contains several areas from handbooks to forums to RSS syndicated news and more ...

Have a look to see if it is interesting to you and contact m&m directly to join - you could send an email to membership_mm@mallsandmore.com.
