“We believe there is good in this world, even though sometimes it’s hard to find amid all the negativity. Our mission is to provide a focused public forum for ‘sharing the good,’ thus making the good easier to find,” explains Founder Darin Manis. “By fulfilling our mission, we believe we’ll facilitate even more good to happen.”
eCompliments is unique from other online review sites. While having a comparable quantity of over 12 million business profiles, the focus extends well beyond its business base. Users are encouraged to share the good about any person, place or thing including brands, blogs, bands, politicians, family members and friends, vacation spots, religions, ideologies, mentors and more. If you don’t see a profile of interest, you simply add it to the forum.
Unlike most sites which fall under the national review site family tree, eCompliments is a family-friendly
website where adult sexual content and profanity are against the site’s terms of service. The intent is to increase positive word-of-mouth by giving people a fun and vital opportunity to share their good experiences. Negative comments are allowed (compliments and complaints are separated), but the emphasis of the site is the positive.
“We believe our site can be credible to legitimate small businesses without being adversarial in nature. Our objective is to bring businesses and customers closer together, rather than driving a wedge,” continued Manis.
The site is free and anyone can create and/or search profiles. If your business is in the Yellow Pages, you probably already have a profile on eCompliments. The site offers upgraded professional profile versions at annual membership rates.
“Sharing the Good” is not just a trademark tagline for eCompliments, it’s part of the corporate DNA. The company donates 10% of every profit dollar to charities, as well as donating advertising space to selected charities. Interested non-profits can find more details on the company advertising page.
Share the good.
