Yesterday, Chrysalis Publications, LLC registered with both the Washington and Baltimore chapters of Angie’s List. One of their slogans, “Get reliable feedback before you hire.” accurately describes this professional online resource for matching contractors, medical professionals, mechanics and secretarial services – to name only a few – with customers.
With more and more people flipping through web pages, like they used to flip through the pages in a telephone book, an Angie’s List contractor’s current information and detailed profile is paired up with favorable [or not] reviews of Angie’s List members. Members subscribe to the list on a monthly, yearly or longer basis. The staff at Angie’s List read all of the reports submitted by members before the reports and the businesses are posted online. Companies do not pay to be listed on Angie’s List.
In fact, although the Chrysalis listings won’t actually appear in a current vendor search at the Angie’s List web site, when a customer submits a report and it’s posted on the List, it will give future and repeat customers a report card and additional information about Chrysalis Publications, LLC. We will post an update as our customers post their reviews.
As manager of Chrysalis Publications, LLC, and a potential customer, I also paid for a subscription. I now have the opportunity to look up and review local computer repair or phone services, for example, via Angie’s List before I contact someone for service.
