Word of mouth accounts for much liquidity in the gardening market and reputation tends to get people talking.
Long before the internet there tended to be a rich market in what you were told by a friend, colleague or family and very often, if a good gardener was known then that gardeners details were passed around that particular network. It was not a concious network but a network never the less.
The success of any network depends on the personal recommendation that accompanies the information but in the early days of the internet, this aspect of on-line gardening adverts, did not exist because people were reluctant to add personal information to any website.
The internet culture is changing and there is preference for honesty and transparency now.
The Landscape Juice Network is leading the change in the United Kingdom gardening and landscaping communities by encouraging members to create profiles that reflect their personalities and business experience.
Any garden and landscape business can gain real benefits by joining this site which places internet search at the heart of it's system.
The LJN operates both world wide and also at local levels because of the references in the text to place names, town, counties and countries.
By adding your company details to the network and refining your profile into a detail that reflects your market then you too can benefit.
By the same token, if you are looking for a gardener, you can benefit too by refining your search to include the area you are living in which will narrow down a list of local gardeners and landscapers to you.
So how does this become a personal recommendation? - Because the LJN is encouraging openness, honesty and transparency amongst it's members, here you will find that only genuine and honest people that have integrity at their heart will want to use this method of publicity.
Someone with a poor personal or business history - BBC Rogue Traders springs to mind, will be the last one's to join for the fear of being 'outed'.
The great thing is, if you are looking for a gardener or landscaper, you do not have to register at all. When you land on the site after conducting your search, you can peruse the members details at will and take the details that you need and call any business directly.
If you are a small business, whether that is a one man band status or a very large company and you wish to demonstrate that you have a special attitude to your work and business then come on over and join us.
We already have over two hundred members with a very active and informative centre where information and experiences is openly shared in an atmosphere of friendliness and trust.
