Summer Hours

sasha — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 21:41:10 +0000

We have been recieving a large number of concerns that restaurant hours of operation do not correctly display summer hours. In response our development team has built a system for restaurants to customize their own page. That includes customizing hours of operation. We are currently marketing this new feature to all of the restuarants on our site.

If you call a restuarant and it is closed, send us an email (feedback@campuslive.com) or talk to us on live support and we will fix it immediately.

For our home town!

sasha — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 04:24:35 +0000

Everyone loves a homeboy, and we at CL will never forget our hometown. With that said we are launching CL local 1.0 ( beta ) in the Amherst, MA area.

Long name, short meaning. If you visit our Amherst-based CL Campuses you will see our new local community listings. If you guys like it or hate it drop us a line at feedback@campuslive.com (feedback from students at any campus welcome).

When all the kinks are smoothed other campuses can look for their own local listings. The more feedback we get, the faster we can add this module to all campuses!

Cheers,
Sasha!

Only 5 Golden Tickes left!

At CampusLIVE we’ve been dying to give an office tour. There are so many attractions and rides to share with our viewers. Unfortunately, we don’t sell candy bars and we don’t have golden tickets. This was our solution - Enjoy!

First we claimed this building, next the world!

becca — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 21:18:23 +0000

Here at CampusLIVE our innovative and creative marketing team is trying something new to round up new users and please our already existing faithfuls. Drum roll please…CampusLIVE@UMass will be sponsoring an over-the-top, all-out crazy promotional fiesta. It will be at one of UMass’ favorite hot-spots, The Pub on March 28. Get ready for a truly unforgettable night. We will be giving away free CampusLIVE goodies including t-shirts, koozies, coasters, and lighters. It doesn’t stop there; we will be serving our very own, specially created CampusLIVE shooters that will absolutely knock you back. The lovely ladies of CampusLIVE will be strutting their stuff and serving you your drinks. Buy a shot, keep the shot glass. What a deal. If music, booze, freebies, hot girls (and of course, guys) sounds like a winning combination and you are 21+ (sorry underage users) then you should head on down to The Pub on Friday, March 28.

More features added to restaurant listings

Jared Stenquist — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 05:04:15 +0000

We’ve just launched some cool features behind the scenes that you may or may not have noticed (depending on what restaurant pages you frequent). We developed a control panel for restaurants so that they can ensure their listing is always up to date. As we now have over 300 restaurants in our system it’s going to be much better to put the power in the hands of the restaurants.

New Updates to the site include:

Ability for restaurants to add photos
Ability for restaurants to add a YouTube video
Coupons are now displayed in the Restaurant Directory
Printable coupons are now available at the bottom of each listing.

So far we’ve had great feedback from these changes. Definitely let us know what you think!
