What’s on Harpenden run by same people that run What’s on St Albans  which is the most searched and truly local website in St Albans and is run by local people for local people. The founder of the website has lived in  St Albans & Harpenden for 38 years so certainly knows his way around.

Website stats for 1st Jan 2011 - 31st December 2011:

Page Views: 860,398
Visitors: 265,374

We have an email list of over 10,500 who receive our newsletter.

Google really likes us and features most of our pages on the first page.

We are not a faceless franchise with only profit in mind and we don’t charge for event listings.

We sit down with you and work out what the best way is to market your business. We like to stay in contact with you and update your page whenever you like at no extra cost. If you join the loyalty scheme you can also change your offer whenever you like.

The website has been created as a way of keeping customers shopping in Harpenden and have found one of the best ways to do this is for businesses to offer discounts for customer loyalty. By joining www.whatsonharpenden.co.uk you will be able to reach thousands of new customers and maybe some old ones who have stopped using your services.

The loyalty card has been downloaded thousands of times since we launched in August 2009 mainly from Harpenden & St Albans residents, but also a large number of people living in Wheathampstead, Redbourn, Hemel Hempstead, Watford and Hertford - which is hardly surprising as we do have a lot of shops, restaurants, businesses and a whole host of other things to offer.

So, if you would like to sign up to the website, please do give us a call or drop us an email and we will be more than happy to give you a 5 minute demo of the website, it’s hardly rocket science and very easy to navigate.
