Reccobiz, bringing people together, supporting your business and the local community
MY name is Neil and I am the founder and cocreator of Reccobiz with my wife Camilla.
After over 30 years of running my own business in home improvements and trying many marketing and advertising methods, I decided there was nothing available that really suited my needs. I started thinking about what would suit my needs and Reccobiz was born.
Like most business owners I found the best way to grow my business is through recommendations from existing customers, word of mouth. This is how I came up with the name Reccobiz (Recommend a business), I wanted to come up with something internet based that could harness the power of word of mouth in a digital format that made it easy for business owners to connect with their customers and for their customers to be able to recommend them easily at the touch of a button.
Our focus is sole traders and small businesses, we offer a level playing field where everyone pays the same price and gets access to the same resources. No sponsored ads, no algorithm, and no featured listings.
We currently have 193 businesses across many industries and 412 total users, our aim is to provide a valuable service not only to business owners but consumers and the local community. We publicise events of all kinds and have topical groups where people can communicate with like-minded people.
In addition to the platform, we also run networking meetings both virtual and in-person, anyone can come along, not just Reccobiz subscribers.
Our home improvements business Ellen James Limited has thrived since Reccobiz has launched, and helps us stay true to what we are trying to achieve. If it works for Ellen James Ltd it will work for any business and does. We work closely with our subscribers to ensure it is working and they are getting a great user experience.
Reccobiz is not just another faceless website, it is a community. Camilla and I are very hands-on, we believe in the importance of building relationships with those around us and keeping the community spirit alive and thriving.
