We want to help! Positive Economy Catalyst July 16th, 2009
We announced at the time of our launch in April that the first 5,000 vendors to sign up would get a 1-year subscription free — no strings attached, no credit cards required.
Well, we want to go above and beyond that. Because startups, small companies and even established businesses are having a tough time getting through this challenging economic period, we want to help where we can. We want to offer the 1-year free listing for as long as humanly possible.
Why? you ask? We’re a startup ourselves, so of course we want to make money too…at some point. But right now, we want to help you market your business for free in hopes of being a positive catalyst for the economy.
Not only that, we want to be one of those companies that helped bring the economy back on track by sacrificing short-term wins for the greater good of the market.
>> We only ask you of two things: sign up and tell a friend.
Help us give those businesses a chance to survive and thrive!
If you need any help signing up or have any questions, don’t hestitate to contact us: info [at] smeepe [dot] net

Who gives a bleep about smeepe? July 6th, 2009
I do, of course! And at least 4 other people I know, maybe 5.
smeepe’s mission is to match users to the best vendors they need for their corporate or personal event, and IT/social media project…worldwide. That means if you need a caterer, event agency, or a web designer, you will be able to find all of that at smeepe.
I’m passionate about making the planning and vendor selection process EASIER and FASTER. (If that’s not your experience with smeepe, please let me know.)
We focus on search technology versus directory drill-downs. You can still drill down, if you’d like, but finding vendors is easier with search.
Here’s why you should give a bleep about smeepe:
- We focus on fast and easy search. If you need to filter on location, you can do that. But sometimes location doesn’t matter, that’s why search first
- smeepe vendor profiles are almost like mini-websites. So if you vendors are just starting up, or your website is being remodeled or you just want an extension to your site, your smeepe vendor profile is super for that!
- Search results are based on relevancy and ratings. Since we’re so new and not many ratings exist, most search results will be displayed based on relevancy. Great for users since they know the results are not sorted on how much money vendors give us – we don’t allow that!
- We don’t make users log in or register to simply view vendor profile information. We’re all about making it easy and saving you time. If you want to do more with the info, then you’ll need to login so we know where to save settings to.
- smeepe will become the Amazon of services, mark my words
We listen to your feedback and are in the process of implementing various changes based on user suggestions – so keep them coming.
Vendors – you can still sign up for free, so get on it!
