Bouncing Around a Bit Tonight

My bouncing buddy Tigger newly listed:

A bit of paid work, another booth sale shipped yesterday, our radio show tonight engaged while styling a new necklace... yup it was another couple of busy days. Amazon payments has been working for me for over a year, I just want everyone who came on board recently with their booth to know that it's a keeper! I haven't missed Google Checkout one bit :) May your holidays be riddled with sales and in business, diversity, is your best friend!

Been Working More Than Tending to Selling

Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do! Even though I don't get here as often as I'd like, I just want to express that, now and after several years, Bonanza is still my first choice of selling venues and it has never let me down. The name has changed, team members have been added, and the site undergoes optimal tweaks on a regular basis to the benefit of BOTH buyers and sellers. Knock on wood... may it remain so! Finally I am starting to add some product for the upcoming Christmas holidays

and next year I plan to put up for sale many of my own creations... no not a clothing line, but a bit of fine jewelry, steam-punk, and contemporary with a twist like my 70s Napoleon Empereur Faux Coin Belt Conversion Gold Tone Necklace Earrings Set or

Not Feeling the Rushes

Just a thimble full of thought...

I have watched the 'generated' sales from Rushes and I don't feel them. I will say that I believe that one buyer might have panicked and picked up quite a bit of jewelry the day before one Jewelry Rush was scheduled to occur.

Maybe that's where the Rush comes into play... they rush to buy it before it sells during a time that the buyer won't be online to get a deal. If so... than the Bonanza team is one step ahead (as always)on the competition and that's a great thing.

Just thinking inside the box, while Bonanza thinks outside of it for us.

Happy Thanksgiving Bonanza!

Jury still out on Rushes, here!

Been slacking, just stopping in to wish all well, and have a powerful Christmas season!

Bonanzle Reports Growing Base as It Approaches 2-Year Milestone

Reading AuctionBytes: Bonanzle Reports Growing Base as It Approaches 2-Year Milestone

Online marketplace Bonanzle has continued to build its base of buyers and sellers, with membership growing 18% in just the past 6 weeks, standing now at 236,000 registered users. Popular with small online and eBay sellers, the site will turn two in June. Bonanzle receives 1.5 million unique visitors a month and has close to 20,000 active sellers responsible for a total of just under 3 million listings.

Bonanzle employs four people, including founder Bill Harding. That is, if you don't include the users. Spokesperson Mark Dorsey said the company receives tremendous support from the community, from reporting fake items to spreading the word about Bonanzle. Mr. Dorsey said that, based on the site's growth, the company would definitely be adding designers and programmers in the future.

In October, Bonanzle launched an API in beta that allows third-party developers to provide services and tools for buyers and sellers; it remains in development. The biggest priority for Bonanzle, according to Mr. Dorsey, is making sure buyers have a good experience and come back again to the site. Helping with that is a new order resolution center that allows buyers to open up cases with sellers with Bonanzle as facilitator.

Bonanzle calls itself, "Your destination for everything but the ordinary," and its goal is "to be the simplest marketplace online, with an upbeat community that makes buying and selling fun again." So not surprisingly, "electronics" is absent from the top categories, which include Clothing, Jewelry, Home & Garden, Collectibles, Health & Beauty, Crafts, Books and Toys & Hobbies. You'll find cool vintage electronics, Mr. Dorsey said, but you won't find hundreds of identical iPhone covers, in part because the site limits sellers to 10,000 listings.

Aside from a seller base that actively promotes the site, the company purchases Google ads on 10,000 keywords and is about to launch a display ad campaign on various content sites ("yet to be named," Mr. Dorsey said.)

Bonanzle has no plans to slowdown - the company said it is targeting traffic of 5 million unique visitors by the later part of next year."

Bonanzle Fun Exchange Information Sites Added

Easter is upon us and is the time of sharing a rebirth. As Bonanzle has grown and grown, many of us have expanded our connections across the internet. There are many more Bonanzle sellers and sellers after nearly two years of progress and it shows no signs of slowing down.

Way back when, I built a small info exchange site on Multiply that was just another up and coming social site
http://bonanzle.multiply.com/
and activity is growing there. It's a wonderful place to showcase your wares, ask questions away from the main site, and share happy moments.

Yesterday, I was also looking to produce a site where I could condense a variety of blogs into one main parent site but permit others to incorporate their own blogs/meeting sites as well. I think I have really found the ideal site. I have created a main site, placed a Bonanzler Buyers & Sellers group there
http://bobbi85710.ning.com/group/bonanzlebuyersandsellers?xg_source=activity
and working on filling in some other groups as well. I have added a Barter Banter Group for trading. Just another idea to work with your extra product or if you are looking for something in particular. Of course there will be a wide variety of groups eventually but that's more eyes on product and info than just remaining in the buying/selling niche of blogs. Please feel free to join either/or and have a Happy Easter!

I Have Added Another Site

I am floating from Blog to Blog...........lol
But I feel one can't have enough opportunities.......
You can always pop on here too:
