The forum you're viewing, UAE Boost Approved Sponsors is for our UB Sponsors to make product announcements and let us know about special deals and group buys.

Only UAE Boost Sponsors and moderators are allowed to initiate posts in this forum, but members can posts follow-up replies to the posts for more details on the announcements and products. Please be respectful of our supporting sponsor offers.

Any other posts will be removed from the forum or locked. This is not the forum to use for private messages to sponsors or to start posts for sponsor feedback. Please use the Feedback/Traders page to post feedback to sponsors. If you are a vendor and would like to become a UAE Boost sponsor, please email at sponsor@uaeboost.net for details on supporting our community. Do not create posts in this forum (or any advertising or solicitation) until you are an approved sponsor.


UAE Boost Sponsor Posting Guidelines

Forum Posting
Advertising and group buy threads may be started only in the UAE Boost sponsor marketplace forum. If you would like to start a thread in a non-sales forum, a site admin or moderator of a specific model sub-forum must approve it. Please do not spam discussion forums with links to special deals or product information; an infrequent model-specific new product announcement or occasional request for input from forum members on a prospective new product is generally acceptable with approval.

Please do not ‘bump’ your own posts to give them extra visibility in the Sponsor Marketplace. ‘Bumping’ means responding to your own posts without adding additional product information or answering member questions (this includes “responded to your PM” replies). Our members' interest and responses will typically highlight products and services they have a significant interest in. One exception is allowed: if you are a sponsor with three or less products/threads advertised on the first two pages of the marketplace, it is acceptable to bump those three posts once per week.

Responding to posts and questions about your products in the discussion forums is highly recommended; it is beneficial for both you and the community if you interact with forum members. By joining in the forum conversations, you create a face and identity behind your product. The only thing worse than not posting on the boards at all is to create a thread and then ignore the responses from the community. If you do not respond to the members, then they may form a negative impression towards your business. Some forum administrators and moderators may forward links of threads to you for your attention from time to time, but you may want to take a few moments each week and search for your company or product name.

Do not attack other sponsors. No insults may be directed at their product or their work. Do not post in their thread unless it’s to compliment their product. If you are acting against forum rules, moderators will respond accordingly.

If you have an issue with a member or another sponsor regarding derogatory or insulting comments towards your business, do not respond to him. Bring the issue up with an admin so that they can intervene in the issue either by private message or ‘report a post’ features. They are the authority on the boards.

Group Buys and Pricing
Some sponsors may offer the same products and get special promotional pricing from manufacturers. If posting in a shared marketplace, please respect a ‘first to post’ guideline if you plan on offering a similar group buy or special pricing. Either offer another product or wait until the other sponsor’s buy is closed. If the other sponsor’s group buy has an indefinite timeline, please wait three weeks after the start of the other group purchase before starting your own on the same exact product.

Please post as many details about the products you are listing for sale as possible including what models and years the items apply to as well as clear product images. For group buys and special purchases, we highly recommend posting MSRP and the special offered price for the sale (we understand some manufacturers prohibit posting sale prices). If a certain number of members are needed for a special sale to meet certain discount levels, a roll call in the thread is acceptable.

Changing Ad Creatives
All banner modification requests should be directed at sponsor@uaeboost.net.

Forum Complaints
A forum moderator may move the posts to the Complaints forum and may lock a complaint thread (and update the thread title) once a resolution has been reached. It is to the sponsor’s benefit to publicly reply to complaint threads with their side of the issue and suggest steps to resolution.
