Free business signup at BT Tradespace

When I read that it’s free to sign up to the basic business package on BT Tradespace. I was a bit suspicious. However, never one to look a gift horse in the mouth, I decided to sign up my travel business, Europe a la Carte. BT describes Tradespace as a directory listing with an interactive web presence combined with the power of BT marketing, sounds impressive!
When you go to the sign up page the superior paid for option comes up, which may be appealing to some businesses because for £15 a month your customers in the UK and abroad can phone you. I didn’t look into the small print for this as I don’t receive many phone enquiries for my travel business, it’s mainly email enquiries.
You fill out a business profile with a link to your site. You can upload photos, podcasts, rate other members, participate in forums and join various communities. You can also start a blog (no thanks 2 is enough for me] but it could be a good way to dip your toe into the world of blogging. It would certainly make your entry more eyecatching and interactive. BT recommend that you post an entry to your blog at least once a week, which is not too arduous.
I think that if you want to get the most out of Tradespace you’d probably have to spend quite a bit of time keeping your content fresh and networking. It also depends on the type of business you have, if you sell your product/service to other businesses, Tradespace could be more beneficial to you.
Have you boosted your business since registering with BT Tradespace?
