Your Lift Club Nightmare Story

December 12th, 2009

I am sure that some of you have at least one or two Lift Club nightmare stories to tell.

In hind sight many of them may seem very amusing, but the odd one may stand out for reasons of a more serious nature.

We would love to hear them – funny or not so funny – and who knows, you may just save fellow eLiftClubbers from suffering the same fate.

eLiftClub – Search Tip

November 30th, 2009
The thought of going through each Advert one by one, in the hope of finding a match, is a daunting task for anyone. Our Location Search feature is one way of getting around this problem.
 
The Location Search page pictured below can be found at http://www.eliftclub.co.za/location.asp .
 
If for example you would like to find a Lift Club or Car Pool from VanderbijlPark to Sandton – select ‘Car Pools’, ‘Offered’ and ‘VanderbijlPark’ as your home City/Town or trip origin (see example below) – then click on ‘Search’.
 
Naturally, if you were offering a lift the reverse would apply – you would select ‘wanted’ to list those members wanting a lift.
 
Depending on the results, you might want to add ‘Sandton’ as your destination – I prefer to keep it simple to start.
 
The same principal can be adopted when searching for ‘Trips’ and ‘School Pools’.

A Helicopter for Christmas!

November 25th, 2009

After what seems like an entire day stuck in traffic, I might just consider handing over my left foot in return for some type of air-born craft. Even root canal treatment without the anesthetic would be more bearable.

The road works, the broken down trucks – oh God, please forgive me - I really couldn’t help myself. The ‘F’ word and many other unmentionables unfortunately became part of my vocabulary more and more as the day progressed. It’s times like these that I reach for my imaginary bazooka, and blast a path through the chaos, or smile to myself as my car transforms itself into that helicopter I so desire.

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine that the likes of John Robbie and Redi Direko would become such great friends – 702 I love you.

Still we should count our blessings - come Wednesday 2nd December, we all get to pay more for the pleasure of this self inflicted torture,  - yip, according to http://www.shell.co.za/vpower/pprice.htm , the price of fuel is going up again. I suppose I shouldn’t complain too much – at least I have a car.

Have you heard? According to the gurus, the recession is technically over – oh please, please let this be true. I so long for those relatively stress free days again, when I actually had a brain and even used it, instead of wandering around in a bewildered state of confusion, like a chicken without the benefit of its head.

Roll on high occupancy vehicle lanes, roll on 2010 and the Soccer World Cup, roll on the Gautrain and most importantly, roll on the end to all these awful bloody road works.

eLiftClub – New Features

November 23rd, 2009

Regular visitors to eLiftClub.co.za will probably already know that the site has recently gone through some changes. All of these have been aimed at improving functionality and enhancing the member’s experience.

Improved Navigation

New user friendly searching, with <<Previous and Next>> functionality makes it easier to go from Ad to Ad.

SMSing

A SMS Service is now available so that you can also keep in contact with fellow members via SMS – small quantity bundles of 20 and upwards are available.

Payment can be made by EFT or Cash deposit, as well as via our secure Netcash Credit Card payment gateway.

We feel that this mode of communication may actually speed up the whole lift search process. Only 1 in 4 members are offering a lift – this means that it is extremely important to make contact before anyone else. Members should try to visit the site as often as possible and regularly conduct their own searches.

Because of demand, members who are offering can afford to wait to be contacted – the reverse is unfortunately often not the case.

Members still have the option to make use of the Website’s internal messaging facility.

Premium Membership

Don’t worry – advertising on eLiftClub is still FREE and always will be.

However, as the site becomes more and more popular, we feel that we need to give members the option of upgrading their Ad, if they so wish.

Premium listings are brighter and bolder and will always appear before free listings in any search results, so that you get more exposure, more interest and more response.

A new revised Premium Membership has been introduced whereby you can upgrade for one month at a time – with no debit orders or long term commitments, and you also get 10 free SMS credits.

For more details, go to http://www.eliftclub.co.za/premium-benefits.asp .

Blow your own Horn

Some time ago we introduced a new way for you to promote your listing - its fun and it costs you nothing. 

Login to our site and go to the Members Area – click on the ‘Blow your own horn…’ banner, and refer a friend – every time you do so, you earn a point and get listed higher up the list – try it now.

It’s just a referral system and your friends don’t have to join for you to earn your points.
