The booming of Social Network has created a trend in online advertising. Many businesses are now looking for niche social network for opportunities. Nothing can kick off a business faster than community reviews. Members of a niche social network tend to trust others’ judgments and they will recommend products/services to other members if they think those products/services are good enough, thus potentially creates an exponential growth for businesses. When the business grows, more people will know about your social network. So, as a social network owner, how do you help businesses grow? The answer lies within Business Directory.

Business Directory provides Yelp-like features for niche social network. Members can create a business or claim a business created by other members. Members are able to review and rate any business that they have experienced with. “Brochure” feature allows members to print all info about a business on paper. Check-ins feature is also supported.
