Market positioning
Barnaby aims at listing high end partners and therefore undertakes to offer enhanced visibility to a desirable community of high end clients!
Although the application is free, being a Barnaby user represents a real privilege.
Obviously, numerous applications, tourist guides, and influential bloggers continue to flourish. But Barnaby is clearly positioned as the LEADER in its specific niche: The world of top of the range drinks (Barnaby doesn't list restaurants, exhibitions, brunchs, etc.)
BARNABY is unique !
