Possible Affiliations (In Essex)

Hi everyone!

I hope you'e all well!

My name is Richard Carter and I own my own photographic company called 'Time Imagery'. It's based in Witham, Essex and it's currently undergoing a major redesign and branding make-over, including a new website.

On the new website, I plan on having a 'links' tab where I will be able to provide links to other local wedding related stores and business websites. I'll gladly add businesses' site links to this tab, in exchange for a reciprocal link on their own site. It's a great way of networking and making people aware of both of our services plus, if your company needs any photography, I'd gladly offer you a special affiliate deal.

I must stress however that this is on a first come, first served basis and I'm only prepared to have one link per service/store/trade to help avoid a clash of interest.

So, if you're interested in this, send me a private message or simply reply to this thread and we'll take it from there.

Thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing from you!

Richard

Just a thought, but rather than 'first come, first serve' surely you ought to be looking to seek out best in class so as to ensure both your [prospective] clients don't get let down, and equally you don't look silly for a poor referral?

I am however going to send you two referrals who I think you really ought to consider as I know personally their incredibly high levels of quality.

Be careful of reciprocal links. Google doesn't like these, nor does it like pages stuffed with links, especially off-topic ones. Also bear in mind that you won't want to loose too much page rank to other external sites.
