Volunteering Directory has come out as a boon in today’s market which is trying to recover from the recent recession with its highly affordable advertising options specially the annual membership and customized plans for companies specializing in volunteering trips abroad, gap year trips and TEFL.

Volunteering Directory is a global company with offices based in New Zealand and India. It has been created to meet not only the demand for a website where travelers can easily compare companies offering these services, but also the increasing demand for an effective, interactive advertising medium.

The website´s creators say that travelers often have trouble finding a way to compare the various companies offering volunteering, gap years and TEFL courses. This new website will help travelers to find the program that is right for them and will enable people to feel confident that the companies listed are legitimate and verified to safeguard travelers
from getting scammed by illegitimate small local organizations.

From experience travelers looking for these kinds of programs are very internet savvy but tend to spend a lot of time investigating the options for themselves through searches and through visiting providers´ sites directly. Volunteering Directory is a comprehensive and interactive search engine which allows travelers to compare different companies online without having to take the time to view each specific website, thereby providing an easy solution that travelers can trust.

The team behind Volunteering Directory has an extensive background in international volunteering, gap years and TEFL courses. The website has been designed based on their own experiences in organizing and promoting programs and aims to provide a solution to most of the problems they have experienced in the past.

Although there are currently a number of similar advertising portals on the internet, the high quality sites are typically extremely expensive and often overbooked (no available spaces for years in advance creating a monopoly for a small number of companies), while the remaining sites tend to be of very poor quality, lacking the accessibility and functionality which advertisers require. These weaknesses and many other issues discourage many companies from advertising on them.

Volunteer Directory fills this gap by being far more affordable providing a major cost effective benefit for high quality advertising options for a wide range of companies regardless of their size through a low pricing and staggered pricing structure based on characteristics such as size, position and interactivity.

Technology wise also volunteeringdirectory.com is much more advanced than the current players in the market in its field and thus promises more potential clients to its customers. Its unique features include user-friendly approach, smart search and provision to add videos and banners to make your advertisements more striking, attractive, intelligible, apparent and eye-catching.

¨Based on our research and experience with travelers, we know that websites with high levels of interactivity are preferred and re-visited more often than those with low interactivity. Everyone we spoke to said that high interactivity (such as video) makes the process of finding a company to travel with a lot easier and creates a far more memorable
user experience¨ says, Neha Dhawan, Marketing Team Lead, India.
