Swindon, United Kingdom – New ‘industrial strength’ online auction website
huntforit.co.uk is inviting all vendors, merchants, traders, dealers, retailers with excess stock, online auction ‘powersellers’ and specialist collectors to trial their new website with free listings and all the add-on features free for a month. It’s a perfect ‘no-risk’ opportunity to reach thousands of new online buyers who will be attracted to the site through a national PR campaign commencing 1st March.
Right now, huntforit.co.uk is looking for people willing to upload details of hundreds of products at a time and there are special deals for bulk vendors. Although you can list items for free in the main online store, to advertise a product with all the ‘bells and whistles’ on the front page of the website would normally cost £10 per item. These front page adverts will be free of charge on a first come, first served basis for a month.
huntforit.co.uk has been developed into a truly ‘industrial strength’ online auction platform with fully integrated mobile phone SMS text bidding technology. The entrepreneurial team has addressed the drawbacks of spending hours online and turned the concept of web auctions on its head. Huntforit’s ‘BID BACK’ feature allows registered users to send in bids via SMS. Text bidding releases buyers from being chained to their PCs and lets them participate fully in the auction - so they will never have to miss out on a highly prized item again!
SMS alerts together with huntforit’s own MOBILE MONEY application makes use of mobile revenue share options to provide sellers with exciting new revenue streams, encouraging them to add high-value items that will attract multiple bids. For every bid received on each of their items, 5 pence is credited back to the seller. This benefit is central to the state of the art IT infrastructure which has been fully tested and debugged.
For huntforit ‘Super.Sellers’ who register and want to sell in bulk, the LIST-LOADER feature provides an easy to use, step by step function allowing multiple items or inventories to be listed. List-loader is compatible with software on other auction websites making the transition painless.
Marketing Manager, Stephen Musson comments ‘Retailers often face a problem of how to dispose of discontinued stock without undercutting high street prices and devaluing the brand, and not everyone can afford to have a designer outlet village store. We’re providing an additional shop window for vendors. There’s no risk to the retailer because of the reserve price function and no sale, no fee approach. All you have to do is generate the list for the website.’
Two other MAJOR differences to competitive sites are;
The site has a focused search engine which will be the focus for development in year one and is already attracting two thousand unique users a month. Secondly, there is a charity pot that will build up and be auctioned to the highest bidder at the end of the year. Together with the winning bid, the charity pot is donated to a charity of the winning bidder’s choice via Huntforit so the system cannot be abused.
The site offers vendors, retailers and ordinary people more chances to buy, more chances to sell.
