What do FHI members actually think about the updated member profile?

Since the beginning of this year, FHI's member profile has improved significantly and we are proud of that. A completed profile ensures better online findability. But what do the users themselves actually think of this update?

By Frank van de Ven

We asked members what they thought about the adjustments. We were also curious about what users thought about things such as user-friendliness, ease of use and the results achieved. A number of FHI members share their findings about the improved member profile, which is free to use.

“We have just started completing our member profile. The system is user-friendly. Many improvements have been made compared to the old system. We are satisfied with this new profile.”
Magda van der Kleij, Marketing & Sales Coordinator

“It is important that you can be found online. Take the time for your website and complete the member profile. Post your logo and share news. That takes a little time, but it makes a big difference. It looks so amateurish to have an empty member profile on the FHI website.”
Ludo Zwaan, Director
PROD 

“Why wouldn't you use the member profile? It is a great way to increase your online findability. Completing the member profile is simple, but it does require input and a proactive attitude from entrepreneurs. Posting news is something you must continue to do if you want to keep the members page up to date.” 
Dana Wolters, Marketing Manager

“When posting a news item on your FHI member profile page, you can also publish it directly on the various FHI event sites. This goes on in one go. In addition, the message scores high in the Google ranking for the specified search terms, so the FHI has certainly put a lot of thought into optimizing it for the search engines.”
Janette Spaninks, Marketing Communications Manager
DA VINCI LABORATORY SOLUTIONS BV

“Digitalization is a theme that has been with us and the other FHI members for a long time. This theme also offers commercial opportunities. Our contact details and logo are visible on our member profile. We have also posted a few news items.”
Lennart Heijnen, CEO
HEYNEN

“The updated member profile is very user-friendly. Posting news and press releases works smoothly and quickly. The goal is to increase online findability and the more industry colleagues complete their profiles, the stronger we are as a collective.”
Ed Djie, Managing Director
NIJKERK ELECTRONICS BV

“When I heard about the improvements that have been made to the member profile, I immediately decided to take the bull by the horns. I immediately got to work and completed the profile. You can easily place news items and a logo. Because the FHI scores high in the Google rankings, I can benefit from this as a member by linking my website. This gives you an extra portal with which you can attract customers online. Completing the profile is not rocket science. I am satisfied."
