Put yourself in someone else's shoes for a moment...
You're a mom and pop restaurant owner. Maybe new to the country. You put all your savings into this. Now you're making your delicious family recipes and people are enjoying them. And paying you! And hopefully coming back for more.
You're barely making ends meet, but you hope the business will grow from word of mouth.
Now a delivery service comes along. You know your margins will be low on those orders after their cut, but hey, it keeps you busy and maybe you can hire another cook.
Pop quiz! What's a "microsite", and what's a "URL"? You may have heard of one of those things, but what is the other? Something from Microsoft?
Nonetheless, you need the business, and you sign up because you have a customer waiting for dinner and you have to get back to cooking.
- sokoloff 7y agoSo you need the business, don't have time to get into the details, have a company that takes care of those details for you, brings you an additional volume of orders that you seek, takes the commission they earned and you agreed to, and turns over the domain upon demand. It sounds like a nearly ideal business arrangement to me. I'd be far more troubled about the burying of positive reviews for people who refused to pay for advertising than I am for someone living up to the letter (and I believe the spirit) of the agreement with respect to microsites and domain/URLs.
- hdfbdtbcdg 7y agoWhat is a microsite?
- sokoloff 7y agohttps://www.google.com/search?q=microsite https://www.google.com/search?q=microsite A small website, often targeted to a specific marketing channel or campaign.
