Up to 80

We now have 80 businesses up on Tabblr! The number is steadily growing but adoption rate is still lower than what we like it to be. Still trying new ideas and seeing if we can pick up more businesses and users at a faster pace.

Yesterday I tweeted that we have something special coming up, it's huge! We are working on "featured" activities and also another big feature that I won't name for the time being. "Featured" activities will give an option to businesses who want more visibility for their activities. Within any given search radius, the activity will show up first on the list and be highlighted so that it will clearly stand out. The other nameless feature will involve a very unique twist on how businesses can offer deals. Totally unlike any of the daily deals that are floating around and businesses won’t lost an arm or a leg by offering it.

Lastly we made a little viral video for Tabblr, here it is!

60 Companies Up on Tabblr!

We now have 60 Chicago-based companies signed up with Tabblr! A lot of changed within the last few weeks and we are seeing record hits on our apps and websites.

We were able to talk to a couple of VCs the last few weeks; we got some good advice and were told to reach out back to them after we gain more momentum. We take that being positive because they both seemed to like Tabblr but just thought it was too risky at this point. We totally understand so we are going to continue work hard at getting more momentum.
