Each day, we get all sorts of great ideas (both internally and from customers) on new features and tools we should add to our service. vFlyer Labs showcases cool tools and technologies for online sellers that were developed internally by us or by outside partners based on many of these ideas!

The types of tools and technologies on vFlyer Labs generally fall into 3 categories:

• Future features that will eventually make it into our service
• Tools and technologies that are useful to vFlyer users and online sellers
• Interesting products and services we are testing to better understand how customers would potentially use them

Many of these tools are not yet ready for prime time but you can help by testing them, sharing your feedback and suggestions and even submitting your own tools. If we think it's cool or useful, we'll post it. We hope you find the vFlyer Labs a useful and interesting resource and we’ll update date you as new tools become available.

The labs concept is one a growing number of companies use to test new product ideas (Google Labs, Adobe Labs, Mozilla Labs, Reuters Labs and Digg Labs just to name a few), including several real estate technology players (Zillow Labs, Trulia, and Eppraisal).

As you know, we have both a subscription and an ad-supported service (vFlyer Personal). The subscription-based service is ad free (yet another good reason to upgrade) while the ad-supported service isn’t. With the mobile release behind us, vFlyer Personal will soon support the ability of service providers (such as financial services companies, printers, i.e.) to sponsor pages on the service. For more information on sponsorship opportunities on vFlyer Personal email us at: sponsors@vflyer.com.

This week, we began piloting our affiliate program to select few partners. vFlyer is working with value-added resellers, consultants, training organizations and other trusted advisors through our vFlyer Affiliate Program. This program allows our partners to earn commissions on the referrals they make. We’ll let you know when these two programs have official launched but if you are interested in participating in the pilot please email us at: affiliates@vflyer.com
