Preloved Takes Off

Posted: 23 July 2007 by Ian


The last six months have been pretty exciting here at Preloved.

We started the year with a massive redesign of the site, launching a brand new look and introducing a number of new features and refinements to help bring together buyers and sellers as quickly and as easily as possible.

The results have been explosive! In June 2007, the number of pages viewed was double that of December 2006. That's 100% growth in just six months!

What's more, the number of adverts being submitted each day by our members has also doubled. This means that Preloved now offers over 100,000 unique adverts each day.

Feedback

We're also getting lots of great feedback from our members:

"Thanks for being a great site. We just bought our first trailer tent via the site and are delighted, worth the membership fee!! I have been recommending the site everywhere over the last couple of weeks." - Adele in Shropshire.

"I just wanted to say thank you for a wonderful site. I placed an ad, and literally 2 hours later the item was sold! I can't believe it! I've never had such an easy sell. So, thank you for a great site and good luck with the future." - Andrew in Norfolk.

Word of Mouth

We are only a small team and we do not have the lavish budgets of some of our competitors. However, Preloved continues to be propelled forward by good old fashioned word of mouth and the enthusiasm of its members. So if you love Preloved, please do tell your friends!

Keep watching this blog over the next six months for announcements of even more improvements as we strive to make Preloved the best and most friendly place to buy and sell online.
