For you!
Posted on 14 December 2008 @ 10:12 WHAT IS DISTRICTWORLD?Districtworld.com is a social network site new style: modern, sexy and stylish combined with a smooth business feel. DistrictWorld allows you to smoothly mix and manage friends and business contacts, companies, brands and favourite hotspots. Networking in an ambiance with like minded people, the usage of 'privileges' as a special feature, exclusively for DistrictWorld members!
WHAT DOES YOUR PROFILE LOOK LIKE?
A profile on DistrictWorld consists of the following three sections:
• PUBLIC PROFILE (mandatory 'business card', always public)
• FRIEND PROFILE (optional, can be concealed)
• BUSINESS PROFILE (optional, can be concealed)
These layers make it possible to keep your Business Profile and contacts separate of your Friend Profile and contacts. In this way, you can determine exactly who can view your profile and photos, videos, Q & A's and personal updates etcetera.
Your Friend Profile allows you to keep easily in touch with friends and family. Share photos, videos, personal preferences and experiences!
Your Business Profile allows you to present yourself in an optimal way for business opportunities: for instance, you can fill in your resume and present projects for possible new business.
Once you have added your profile, you can become a member of Districts (companies, brands, hotspots), which keeps you posted on anything that goes on in a District. This way you are always up to date with what goes on with your favourite brands, clubs, restaurants and companies. As with your contacts, you can decide for every individual District whether you want to become a member with your Friend Profile or with your Business Profile.
In your profile's 'privacy settings' you can select if you want to receive e-mail notifications for birthdays, contact updates, District updates etcetera.
HOW TO INVITE FRIENDS AND CONTACTS TO BECOME MEMBERS AS WELL?
You can use the FRIENDFINDER on the homepage to check easily which of your friends are members of DistrictWorld already. You can also invite all your LinkedIn, Hotmail, Outlook, Gmail, Mac, Yahoo Mail, Lycos, Plaxo, Windows live messenger and AOL contacts to join DistrictWorld! Get connected!
WHAT IS A PEOPLE DISTRICT?
A PEOPLE DISTRICT is meant for whoever it pleases to make a District page. For example because you are a fan of a certain brand or you want to make a PEOPLE DISTRICT for your own network: your hockey team, a study group, a group of cooperating stylists or a PEOPLE DISTRICT for everyone interested in French Restaurants.
As the moderator of a PEOPLE DISTRICT you choose whether the District is visible for everyone or just for its members. You can also select 'admission after approval' to create a sense of exclusivity.
Within a District you can open a forum, upload pictures and videos, add news items, events and locations using Google Maps.
A PEOPLE DISCTRICT can't use the Privileges feature that is available to OFFICIAL DISTRICTS.
WHAT IS AN OFFICIAL DISTRICT?
• A District exclusively for brands, companies, organisations and other official institutions
• Created by an official representative
• Members of an OFFICIAL DISTRICT have the opportune to enjoy various Privileges
• The privileges create optimal brand awareness for the OFFICIAL DISTRICT
• An OFFICIAL DISTRICT offers the brand unique interaction with the target audience (brand extension)
WHAT DOES AN OFFICIAL DISTRICT OFFER?
As a DistrictWorld user you can become member of an OFFICIAL DISTRICT. You receive alerts in your profile if the OFFICIAL DISTRICT you are a member of adds new pictures, events, news videos or new privileges. This will keep you up to date with your favourite brands, companies, hotspots and so on. Once a week you'll receive a network updates e-mail, with updates from your Districts. This way you can create your own newsletter just by becoming a member of all the Districts of your interest.
OFFICIAL DISTRICTS have the same options as PEOPLE DISTRICTS for opening a forum, adding pictures and videos, news, events and locations using Google maps.
An OFFICIAL DISTRICT does however have the specially developed tool called 'Privileges'.
WHAT ARE PRIVILEGES?
OFFICIAL DISTRICTS on DistrictWorld can create exclusive Privileges. These are special offers or opportunities (gifts) for DistrictWorld members. Examples of Privileges are: products you can win (a watch, a pair of jeans), a discount offer especially for members, a free bottle of wine when you make reservations for a restaurant using the OFFICIAL DISTRICT, tickets to a party etcetera. Everyone who is a DistrictWorld member can join and have the chance to be selected for one of the privileges.
