2010 vFlyer Recap

The end of every year brings countless end-of-year memorials, top ten lists, and other efforts to capture another chapter of our collective existence. Not that there’s anything wrong with this; the closing of the annum is a good time for us, as individuals and organizations, to reflect on the highs and lows, the changes big and small, and our continued, sometimes fitful improvement over the last twelve months. So with that, I offer some vFlyer highlights of 2010:

• We opened the year with a complete redesign of our website. The new design not only freshened our look but also made navigation of the site easier and brought out some features that had been somewhat hidden before. And we closed the year with a new blog design that matches the look and feel of our website and makes it easier to share posts.
• As Facebook continued its growth in 2010, we introduced a vFlyer Listing App for Facebook Pages. vFlyer business subscribers can now install a listings tab on their Facebook Page that displays all the active listings from their vFlyer account in real time.
• vFlyer Agency Edition users got a boost this year with the addition of the Agency Dashboard, which brings together data from all sub-accounts into one location. Agency users can now see the number of active listings across all sub-accounts, how well each sub-account is being utilized, and can download a weekly report of sub-account activity.
• Following the new mobile listing formats we implemented in 2009, we introduced an iPad format this past year. The new iPad format does not use Flash (a format not supported on the iPad or iPhone), giving iPad users an optimized view of any vFlyer listing.
• And finally, we had a lot of fun together! I’m fortunate to work with a team of creative, funny, supportive individuals at vFlyer, and while we were busily working to improve our service and support our users, we also managed to have a great time.

We have big plans for 2011. We’re already in the process of developing a new service that we expect to launch in the next few months (more on this to come), and we’ll continue to enhance our existing service with new marketing tools and features. A big thank you to all of our wonderful users for making vFlyer what it is and giving us such helpful feedback. We look forward to hearing from you and seeing your beautiful flyers in 2011!
