About Whose View

Did you know that 78% of people now rely on recommendations before making a purchase decision, whether it's for a service or product? (Nielsen Research).

And now that times are tough, people want to be even savvier as to where they spend their money and will rely even more on word of mouth. Therefore www.whoseview.com is the solution to cater for this growing need by offering a fun easy way for people to recommend and share their everyday experiences from local services such as restaurants, plumbers and beauty salons to name a few, to products such as wines, books, movies and much more.

Are you really seeing a return on investment from your traditional classified directory? Probably not, and the reason for this is twofold. Clutter and Lack of Differentiation! Fewer people are picking up the Golden or Yellow Pages for this very reason. Instead people are cutting through the clutter and immediately recognising a point of differentiation as told by people they trust.
