Online classified adverts are the market of the future, but the current options for the online shopper either lack advertising impact or are expensive. Advertise with your local free ads and you get an advert lacking impact. Use EBay, and the seller will lose a percentage of their sale and the buyer can't see before they buy.
2008 will see the launch of PoundAd, a website set to challenge the way that people advertise. With PoundAd, the consumer gets a high quality, efficient website, with the potential to make money at a minimal cost.
The idea is as simple as the name suggests ? with each advert costing just one pound. And you are not paying a pound for a simple one liner either. Instead, the advertiser gets a full page advert, including photos, a detailed description and, crucially, item specific fields to allow people to easily pick out your ad. Combined with the ability to search by postcode, this enables PoundAd users to swiftly find what they are looking for, contact the seller directly and arrange to view before they buy. Furthermore the site is easy to use and clean with no annoying pop ups or adverts to divert your attention.
Local Businesses can also benefit from PoundAd through the testimonials section, allowing people to rate anything from their local plumber to fast food restaurant, and read independent reviews. What better way to promote your business than to use recommendations of your own customers?
PoundAd takes a traditional way of selling and uses modern technology to bring private retail into the 21st Century. Managing Director Peter Bisset stated, ?I see PoundAd as the next logical step in marrying the power of the internet with a more traditional way of selling, for the E-Bay generation.?
The first 500,000 adverts on PoundAd are free after which a ?1 fee will be introduced.
