Stikinotes is an innovative company based in London and founded by Adam Winterflood. This young startup has big ambitions to make sense of location for users and businesses. Adam Winterflood – CEO For both businesses and individuals I believe the future is ‘personal’ and ‘social’ As an individual, I do things and go to places that I want to remember. I may take photos on my phone or camera but I eventually delete them or I may share them on my network but it is just a brief moment in time, lost in the noise of the networks. I want to save those memories and places so that I can look back on them, enable my friends to be able to find those places and see my history whenever they are in, or thinking of going to, the same area. I also want ideas and inspiration from them. As a business, I want you, my happy customer, to make my business part of your memory. Not only does this mean that you will return to my business but you will also share us with your peers. If you visit my website, I would like to show you your friends that have been to my business and their comments so you get a personal view of what my business offers. The Stikinotes Visitor Book platform delivers this opportunity for both the individual and the business. What is Stikinotes? ‘Stikinotes’ is the global Visitor Book platform for both business and users. Stikinotes for the User. Please go to ‘How it Works’ on our home page Stikinotes Visitor Book Platform for Business The Stikinotes Visitors Book Platform provides your business with its own Virtual (Online) Visitors Book, linked to the social networks.
