New For You! Get Your Activity in the Spotlight .......

Spotlight On


You can now book your time in the spotlight with us on any one of our children's websites for an entire month.  This brand new spot on our home pages guarantees that our users will find you first! With your name, location, logo and description on the very first page that our users see you won't fail to be in the spotlight.

 

Plus, we thought it would be rather nice to highlight our new listings for our users to see straight away on our home pages.  We now have our rather special 'Recent Listings' spot showing every recently added activity*. You will also appear in this 'Recent Listings' position if you renew your advertising with us for another year......what a great way to get prime advertising space for free!  

 

If you think that your activity deserves to be in the spotlight just email zena@whatson4.com and ask for more info or call 0121 2886848.  

 

*(this does not include Free Basic listings)
