Purigen

Has anyone approached Panorama to be a sponsor? Everyone on this Forums seems to like their prices and the quality of their stock. Probably gets more advertising than any other LFS on this forum. Money cant buy this type of following. Their name speaks for it self on this Forum. Not many comebacks and good customer service.

With regards to the other sponsors. There should be Reputation Rating published on a Monthly basis. This is where the Forum community can assist or celebrate our sponsors in what they are getting right and what they need to work on. This will also assist new and seasoned hobbyist in their quest for sound advice and good prices.

The Rating should be broken down (in my opinion), as follow and an average rating given at the end. A score card or an audit, if you will. Rating should be based on : Value / Pricing, Variety of Live stock, (Marine, Freshwater, Coldwater, Discus.), Variety of foods and pricing , Customer service, Knowledge of products and live stock.

Hopefully this isnt to difficult to set up a template that we all tick off our responses and totals is generated. I have seen a thread with something similar, but rating LFS that are not even sponsors(free advertising). It needs to be more streamlined and user friendly. Admin is this a possibility or worth looking into? PS I also think it must be monitored by a Mod or expert not directly linked to any sponsor

 

Yes they are VERY keen on becoming sponsors. Rory must still finish the poster thats going up in their shops.... the moment that is done they will be come a sponsor.....

ps. i moved your post to this thread....

 

Cool. I am sorry I never got to meet you and some of the hobbyist yesterday. Hope you guys had fun and found some bargains

 

oh we did - like purigen for R127.10 :bigsmile:

 

I agree with you 100%. We have tried this with the Sponsors feedback section. the problem with this being only the admins and mods can see it. I will ask Rory to see if he cant find some sort of sponsors rating system....
