WeDJ vs. DJ Intelligence vs. Others

[Jim Casey]

Rather than polling this one, i would like folks to respond. Do you use WeDJ, DJ Intelligence, or other integration code/software portal(s) for your website?

Since none advertise here, please feel free to sound off on what you like and don't like.

I have the WeDJ Gold, but I've yet to integrate the "Realtime" features onto my site.

I can tell you that Rich Carvalho at Kinetic DJ saw dramatic upswing in bookings (at the Silver Level) when he put the Realtime Portal on his web site. We were both "Silver" last year, and he probably did 2x the business thru WeDJ that I did!

This year, I've gone to Gold level, and my bookings and "qualified" leads are about double last year at this time.

Even if you don't "integrate" the Realtime, the benefits of the system can still be accessed thru the GATEWAY PAGE at WeDJ. customers can check for song lists, they can look at your schedule, and they can even plan their event by using the links provided at the Gateway page.

I've booked numerous gigs because of customers looking up RPM titles in my music library online.

I like the features of DJ Intelligence, but I'm not sure that 99.00/yr is the way to go. I've been searching for individual programs like the availability checker.

I'll keep looking.

WeDJ "Silver" is only $100 per year and you get all of the benefits of "DJ Intelligence" included in that price.

Did I mention that Scott Rosenburg (owner of WeDJ) is also offering low-cost DJ Insurance (thru R.V.Nuccio--ADJA's provider) to "Silver" and "Gold" WeDJ members for only $200 per year?

When my $235 USODJA policy expires, I'm going to switch over to the WeDJ program.

I'm "TOTALLY" disgusted with WeDJ.....

For 4 (four) months I emailed, submitted requests, and personally phoned Scott with "NO" response not even a message like "Jam I'm busy and will get back with you as soon as I can..... Heck...... I even posted on his WeDJ board that I'm trying to reach him and not getting a basic response......... The post was deleted......

Why am I trying to reach him?

To "purchase" advertising......

I heard from others that his customer service sucks but I had “NO” idea it was this bad.....

[Jim Casey]

Hey prof...what are you looking to advertise???

I am hoping now that Scott has a full-time support person onboard that things will become better with WeDJ. I still use and recommend them.

Jim,

The issue I have is I want to first ask about an advanced marketing program that would cost more $$$$$ that I'm willing to pay.

Thanks for listing the url.... I ALREADY SUBMITTED A REQUEST!

I even posted in a message he could call me collect.... I was not looking for trades, freebees or anything other then spending money his way and I can't get anywhere with him............................................... .................................................. ..............

Scott,

If your reading this please either contact me or post here why I'm getting the shun as I've had NO past dealings with you?

I use WEDJ.com and am at the "silver" level. I have found that wedj.com has increased my bookings, the realtime system has been invaluable for me, and Scott has been very helpful in answering questions I have had.

My only issue with wedj.com is that it is down much more than I would like. There have been a few times when customers have told me that they could not access the music database.

Otherwise, I really like wedj.com.

[DJ Intelligence]
