Plugging/promoting your business interests
Is there a permitted platform on this forum for plugging and promoting your own (or family) business? For many of us these businesses provide the means to allow us to feed our horological addictions, so it would be cool if we could promote our own interests on here but away from the main watch related threads. Is this permitted? is there somewhere to do this? I suppose it would need a form of control so perhaps there is a minimum post count for those who wish to promote something.
Re: Plugging/promoting your business interests
Good question, and I am going to ramble here a bit.
As this site grows we are going to have to come up with a policy to handle such things.
At the moment I really don't have an issue as long as the promotion isn't blatant or "spammy".
For example, a simple line or link in a signature would be ok, "Horatio's Hornblowers: url" whereas posting in multiple threads about a personal or family business would not be, especially if it's a thread irrelevant to what the business is.
Also, I would be open to some kind of fair-trade. Ie. Allowing members to link to their personal or family businesses in exchange for a link to this site being posted on said business' website/social media.
