The MeetingReview business model is based on advertisement and additional services. Banners, text links, lead generation and affiliate marketing are part of the advertisement. Consultancy and workshops are part of the additional services.
Initiators of MeetingReview are Marco Kole and Robert Spakman. In 2013, when booking meeting rooms, they looked for customer experiences at a variety of locations and location sites. The result was disappointing. Therefore, they decided to set up MeetingReview: organizers and participants of meetings can post reviews about locations on the independent site. After lanching the site they decided to offer meetingservices, which also can be reviewed. The ultimate goal of both men is to create an online marketplace where supply and demand come together in an open and transparent manner and where you can find and book all kinds of services related to meetings and locations.
