Join the Bonanzle Action Club

October 02, 2008

Our community has proven time and time again that if we set our mind to a goal we can achieve anything. So when Mark and I sat down a few days ago to ask ourselves how we can keep up Bonanzle's momentum and continue to increase our buyer traffic, our first thought was the obvious one: get the community involved!

Thus, the Bonanzle Action Club (BAC) was born! The BAC will consist of up to 50 of our most highly motivated, action-minded Bonanzlers who will work together with us toward weekly goals that will help Bonanzle burst through the atmosphere and into orbit (that's a good thing, trust me).

What Does It Take to Join?

Each week, every BAC member will be given one actionable objective to help Bonanzle grow. The task will never take more than 20 minutes of your time. Some examples of a BAC objective might include: post a comment about Bonanzle on a specific forum or blog; email a specific media person to tell them to feature the site; or Digg some article about the site.

We will email you at the beginning of each week to let you know what the week's action objective is. The objective will also show up in the list of BAC objectives (accessible via "My Bonanzle"). When you complete the objective, you check it off your list, and your karma + Bonanzle cred increase a notch.

We should be clear that joining the BAC is an important commitment. If you are considering signing up, you should be willing and ready to follow through on the objectives. We are limiting enrollment to 50 people, so that we only keep people on board who feel that Bonanzle is worth 15-20 minutes of their time per week.

What's In It for YOU?

Plenty!

First of all, the more traffic that Bonanzle gets, the more traffic your booth gets and the better the chances that you can make Bonanzle your permanent residence for buying and selling items.

Secondly, members of the BAC will be given priority status for support requests and will have a higher say in prioritizing our objectives for Bonanzle.

BAC members will also have a pretty slick avatar added to their profile to identify them as a BAC member (starting Friday). You can wear your BAC badge with honor, knowing that you have played a vital part in Bonanzle's growth. Buyers who see this badge will know that you are an integral (and probably trustable!) part of the Bonanzle community. Trust = Sales. Sales = Good.

What Are You Waiting for?

You have already witnessed firsthand what we can accomplish in our community. Now imagine what happens when we channel that energy towards one goal each week to help drive traffic to the site. Operators are standing by! Go to "My Bonanzle" and click the new link near the bottom of the page that mentions the Bonanzle Action Club.

Let’s see, Craig’s List, Emails, Friends and Neighbors and it’s amazing how far Word of Mouth can go! Wow! I can do all that and maybe, just maybe, that BAC list will grow as we grow!

    O.K. BACers! Keep up the good work and us little guys will do our part!

    Spent hours blogging Bonanzle yesterday and didnt know about this offer. Gosh am bummed out now as I even shut down my store on ebay and removed all my listings there as am a powerseller there.

    I hit the high profile blogs that hit main stream media and not typical free blogs or posts. Such as hit ebay where it hurts on investor pages like google, yahoo, forbes, and places investors plus typical people that may peek here.

    My focus has been buyers and even hit ebay post about this site as on top of it told my PS rep yesterday on the phone your boss is crazy John Donohue and that I was going to Bonanzle and she said good luck!

    I am just now setting up my booth but I love everything I see about Bonanzle and would love to join if you still need anyone. I’ll have my booth up and running as soon as I decide on my custom categories.

    This site has more promise than any I have looked into and I will be doing everything I can to get the word out whether I’m chosen or not. :o)

  • Yesterdaysfavorites says:
    10/05/08 at 01:44:28

    Ooops, I see I’m late. But, if you ever need a replacement, I’m here. I’m online almost 24/7 and I’ll always be glad to help do whatever I can.

  • gbme1 says:
    10/05/08 at 08:33:44

    If it’s not too late or if you are allowing more to join. I’d like to be in. If not, I’ll still try to do my part to promote wherever and however I can. Thanks!

  • ScarletsLounge says:
    10/05/08 at 11:47:26

    Promote Bonanzle at your Post Office to advertise to local shippers. So many online sellers go to the post office, so it is a great way to promote.
    The first time I read about an ebay boycott was on a flier at my local Post Office.

    I love everything about Bonanzle! Sign me up, I shall do my best, I promise!

  • TexasboysTreasures says:
    10/07/08 at 05:08:35

    Seems as though I am a day late and a dollar short. However If you decide to up the number of members or someone can’t fulfill their part I would be honored to join. I am retired and have plenty of time to do Bonanzle’s bidding. Having spent time in the service I understand how team work can help us all, by joining forces we can make Bonanzle a strong marketplace where we all call benefit. Or even if there are things you would like me to do just ask, we are all already part of the Bonanzle family. The kudo’s would be great, but helping each other is first.
    Thank You and good luck to us all.

  • ladylee says:
    10/07/08 at 23:39:29

    Ahhh .. Too late to join, however I have tried to promote traffic by doing away with my business’ online catalog …. now when visitors go to the website & click to go to our online catalog it takes them to my Bonanzle Booth. I have also grabbed a Bonanzle banner and placed it on my website with a link. We are just a small shop in a small town and this is a great online venue for the “little guy”. I tell all my customers that come in about Bonanzle… ever little bit helps!

  • buttercup says:
    10/09/08 at 10:51:39

    Too late for me as well. But will try my best to promote this site by sending emails to my loyal buyers and prospective buyers from the other site.
    Cheers to all !

    11/07/08 at 04:12:21

    I’m In!!!!! My intution is in the near future we will overrun that other selling site that has been unfair to it;s sellers.Most of us have autos so I suggest a simple advertising ploy would be to put a bumper sticker or magnet on them reading BONANZLE.COM. I personally would purchase one.The profits should be posted on billboards accross the nation. I’m also willing to donate 10% of my profits to Bonanzle to promote this very unique selling alternative.
