Leisure products and services database

To date, the OzLeisure.com.au website has been about providing information to Australians and visitors to our country with information on the best leisure activities around.

That has been pretty successful and the website is becoming more popular by the month, but we like to keep things moving whenever we can, and to keep evolving the website to offer more to the ever-growing number of visitors. We do actually have a very bold scheme that is in development for later this year or early next that will make the current website – large as it is – look minute by comparison. That however is the grand plan and for the future. Meanwhile, all grand plans have to start somewhere and what we have released today is the first, quite small step on that road.

What we have launched today is a products and services database. Well, when we say database, that is possibly a bit of an exaggeration because at the moment it is empty, but, once products and services are added, it will indeed resemble more of a database!

We are now embarking upon sourcing products and services to upload to this fledgling database such that we can start to become a definitive source for everything leisure related in the Australian market.

The system works in much the same way as the existing activities database, offering those companies and individuals who enter their details the opportunity to go far beyond a basic classified-style listing which has no meat on the bone. Like the activities database, products and services are afforded images, detailed descriptions, outlet locations, coverage information, comments, ratings and so forth. admittedly for some of those options to be exploited to their fullest extent there is a charge, but at only $15.00 + GST one-off payment, it is a small price to pay.

Of course, as is always the case with OzLeisure.com.au there is a free option. Unlike many other databases, the free option doesn’t instantly reduce the listing down to a one-liner either; again, it is still afforded all of the same options as the premium, paid-for listing, just fewer of them. Only 2 images can be shown for an item with a free listing as opposed to an unlimited number with a premium listing. Little changes like that.

All listings are vetted by a human before they are made live on the website, and nothing will be tolerated that breaches the T&Cs or falls foul of the usual caveats etc.

So, now the quest for products and services begins. Wish us luck. If you happen to be the supplier of leisure-related products or services to Australia, please feel free to add your items to the database by clicking here – we look forward to seeing it.
