“We are Caribbean and often times we find it very difficult to find the information we seek from back home. Conventional methods prove to be too blotchy and do not target our specific needs as Caribbean people. Too many exceptional websites go unnoticed because people just do not know about them…those days are over. Maashup was born out of personal desire to have a free and easy way to access Caribbean information on the web.”
Maashup also serves as a remarkable resource for those who may not be of Caribbean decent but have an appreciation for the rich culture associated with the islands.
“Maashup serves as somewhat of an encyclopedia on Caribbean culture. The age old question of “Where to go for vacation” can easily be answered. In a few clicks you can be immersed in the rich culture of the islands through the mouths of its inhabitants”.
Together the key components of Maashup offer a fully customizable experience making it a desirable marketing tool for businesses of all sizes.
