Look Up More is a ‘Plug in and Play’ photo based sharing application, that allows a brand and it’s website to have it’s own – personalised social network.

Many brands are engaged with social media and ‘outsource’ their activity to Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, amongst others.

The benefits of this are that it is low cost and a relatively easy way to engage socially with a customer base.

There are significant downsides however -

1) There is little real interaction – on Facebook for example, customers can comment on a post or ‘like’ , but there is no real opportunity for discussion with the brand or between users.

2) All activity happens away from the brand site – all the possible benefit of website traffic and direct interaction is lost.

3) All the data about your customers is owned by the social networks . There is increasing concern about how this data is being used

Look Up More provides a cost effective, simple and scalable white label application or widget that sits on a website and links seamlessly with all major social networks.

Creation of fresh user generated content will encourage users to visit your website more frequently and stay for longer ; as well as boosting performance in search rankings.

Additional revenues for your organisation can also be accrued inviting other business partners to take part on YOUR social network.
