The Internet World show is on in Earl’s Court, London, from April 27th to 29th and LouderVoice will be there in force.

As sole sponsors of  the Wireless Lounge, you’ll need to talk to us if you want a decent free wifi connection! We’re on Stand E1060.

Despite the volcano, a massive crowd is expected for the show, as in previous years. Whether you are interested in e-commerce, digital marketing, social media, content management or any aspect of operating online, this is the UK show to attend.

This is the kind of news we love to get on a sunny Monday morning in West Cork. We have been shortlisted in the Innovation Category of the Irish Internet Association Net Visionary Awards. If you think we deserve the award then why not head over and vote? Don’t forget all the other categories too, lots of fantastic companies and people in there.

Those of you who have followed LouderVoice over the past few years have probably noticed that things have changed a lot in the last few months. All of those changes have been for the better and much of it is due to Karl Llewellyn, our new Head of Sales.

Karl is responsible for driving our new partner strategy and recruiting web professionals as partners so they can offer LouderVoice to their customers. Loudervoice already has customers internationally, but partners are a key part of our formal launch into the UK this year.

We have just launched a new partner program paying out substantial commission and bonus payments to web professionals, developers and marketers that refer customers.

LouderVoice is Ireland’s largest and longest standing provider of Review & Rate (R&R) solutions to e-businesses. These solutions give customers the ability to post reviews of a products or services on the website they bought from. R&R tools are seen by market analysts as one of the most important tools for any website serious about online business*.

We really are jumping up and down with excitement to finally announce that LouderVoice’s first US client went live just before Le Web recently. Klipsch USA now has the LouderVoice customer review system across the entire klipsch.com web-site.

For those in Europe not familiar with this legendary US brand, it had defined high-end audio since 1946 and is adored by audiophiles everywhere.

Conor will be at Le Web in Paris from tomorrow afternoon until Friday morning. If you’d like to meet up to discuss any aspect of the LouderVoice business then feel free to contact him via any of the following methods:

Wow.

Jolie O’Dell just did the Top Ten International Web Products of 2009 on the always brilliant ReadWriteWeb.

We didn’t make the Top Ten yet but that’s OK, we’ll be there in 2010 🙂

What we did make was the Honourable Mentions list!

The only Irish web company to do so.

The Golden Spiders award was national recognition for what we’ve been doing this year and now this is global.

To be in the same story as Spotify, Moshi Monsters, Tweetmeme and all the others is a real honour.

Trendwatching.com has released its list of 10 Crucial Consumer Trends of 2010.

At Number 3 is Real-Time Reviews

Sometimes we’re just a tiny bit ahead of the trends here in LouderVoice HQ:

That’s why @review is LouderVoice!

We’ve been working with the Luckebox team for the past few months and they have impressed the socks off us with their plans. As of today, they have now fully launched.

What do they do? Gift boxes, lots of them, all full of awesomeness. Not rubbish cheese or stale puddings but stuff you actually want!

Each box contains a particular mix of things at a massive discount over retail prices. They include:

Yesterday I attended the excellent Hotel Website Marketing event in Dublin organised by Proactiv Marketing. It was a real highlight of 2009 for me with fantastic speaker after fantastic speaker. I walked away with a ton of to-dos for LouderVoice.

I spoke on the benefit of on-site customer reviews for hotels. The core message was that you can grow on-site sales, reduce online ad spend and improve your customer service by adding reviews to your site.
