The great thing about friends is that they keep your feet on the ground and tell you what they think - even if it's not complimentary!

I've already made quite a few updates to the sites following conversations with both old & new friends - one question that has cropped up is 'Why does each site have a completely different look about it?'

The answer is that each is marketed to different clients - we have an ambitious target and each site works independently to achieve this. The response so far from both clients & DJs has been fantastic and we intend to build on this for the benefit of both our clients and our members.

What we aim for is to let the client choose the right DJ for their event - the sites, the method, the whole idea is designed to achieve this and experience shows it works!!

Having said that - I am always more than happy to receive constructive criticism. Already some members have come forward with great ideas, improvements and suggestions - keep them coming because they are all welcome.

18th September, 2009

Since its launch last month, AMPdj is the fastest growing Organisation for Mobile & Party DJs in the UK! Thanks for all the support, messages and suggestions.

Great news Chris and we'll follow your lead - with numbers comes strength - we are already looking at negotiating with several providers regarding discounts for all our members
