For business users
These are some things you may want to know if you run a fetish business and would like to get it listed in The Fetishistas Directory, or if your business is already listed in the Directory.
This page answers common questions about participation in The Fetishistas Directory, such as how to get a new listing, how to update an existing listing, how to upgrade the content of a listing, and how to complain if something goes wrong.
How do I get a first-time listing for my business on The Fetishistas Directory?
ANSWER
My business already has a free listing — how do I update or expand its content?
ANSWER
To update or expand the content of a free listing, first you need to claim ownership of the listing. When someone claims ownership of a listing, they are confirming they own the business the listing relates to. When a claim is verified by us, the free listing is removed from the Directory, allowing the claimant to create and edit their own listings by subscribing to one of the low-cost packages. You cannot edit or create listings if you do not subscribe to one of these packages. If your business has multiple free listings, they will all be removed once ownership of the first one is verified, so it makes sense to replace them as quickly as possible.
1. Claim ownership
To claim a listing, simply click the ‘Claim Ownership’ button located near the top of the page (beneath the email address) for each listing you wish to claim. This will take you to a simple form that asks you to create a user name and provide an e-mail address associated with your business. Complete the captcha and submit the form.
2. Login to the Directory
You will receive email notification from us verifying your claim and providing your personal Username and Login. At this point, your free listing will be removed from the Directory. You can now login to the Directory site, either by using the ‘Click Login’ link or by copying and pasting the full login URL — both found in the last line of the email.
3. Choose your listing category
Logging in will take you to your personal Dashboard. Beneath the profile image box you will see a series of tabs. Select the tab that relates to your type of business – ‘Events’ or ‘Latex Clothing’ – and click the ‘Submit Event Form’ link or the ‘Submit Latex Clothing Form’ link to select your preferred payment plan.
4. Select your preferred payment plan
We offer three subscriber packages:
Plus (£48/year or £5/month) allows you to maintain similar content levels to the original listing;
Pro (£72/year or £7.50/month) lets you considerably enhance and expand listing content;
Premium (£96/year or £10/month) gives you ultimate flexibility and control over listing content.
All our annual subscriptions save you 20% on the total cost of paying monthly for 12 months.
5. Update existing listings or add new ones
Once you have subscribed to a package and added your first listing, you can add further new listings up to the limit of your chosen package – 15 for Plus, 20 for Pro and 100 for Premium. You can also update a single listing as many times as you like, and you can upgrade your listings package at any time.
6. Unclaimed listings
The free listings with which the Directory launched have the same features as the paid-for Plus package. These listings will remain free during the launch period to give businesses time to claim them and switch to one of the subscriber packages. At the end of this grace period, unclaimed listings may either be deleted by us or, at our discretion, retained in a more basic form. Basic listings retained on the site can still be claimed, updated, upgraded and expanded by you if you subsequently subscribe to a listings package.

ANSWER
I run large events with multi-day programmes, typically just once or twice a year. How do I list all the individual events within such a multi-event programme?
ANSWER
Our paid listings packages allow you to creating between 60 and 100 separate event posts/listings per year. So once you have claimed any of your events that already have a temporary listing from us, just choose the package — Plus, Pro or Premium — that allows a sufficient number of listings to cover your yearly schedule, combined with whatever level of detail you want to post for each listing. You can update any individual listing as often as you like.
