Bonanzle Mercantile

Volume 2

Warm Holiday Greetings from Kirkland, and welcome to the second edition of the Bonanzle newsletter! In this edition, we'll talk about what's been happening lately in the community, showcase some of our new features, and give a quick taste of what's soon to come. Onward, we go!

Haven't Stopped By Lately?

Sucks to be you! Check out some of the cool stuff you've been missing:

And here are some of Bonanzle's newest features and improvements:

More Great Press: We Had Nothing to Do with This.

Many say that Bonanzle has become a fascination amongst the press in recent months, but we've long maintained that if that's true, we (the Bonanzle team) had nothing to do with it. It is the excitement of the new users, and the dedication of the regular users that continue to write the story of Bonanzle as the best destination for everything but the ordinary.

The most recent proof of this phenomenon at work was this featured story of Bonanzle in the local TV news. This story led to several hundred new registrations and many thousands of new visitors to the site.

How did it happen? Three words: Bonanzle Action Club. This group of dedicated Bonanzlers wrote in to Tim Robinson and other newscasters to praise the benefits of Bonanzle. It worked, we got covered, and the user base continues to grow: more than 8,000 now registered with more than a hundred new users every day. We certainly aren't going to protest, but please, don't give us any credit for it.

Forecast for November? More... of... The... Same.

The beat continues as Bonanzle is on pace for yet another month of doubling our traffic volume. The formula is simple: focus on the community to create the best marketplace for everything that isn't new, shiny and mass produced. What we've heard from many sellers recently is that the tough economy is making it harder than ever to find buyers at all of the sites they sell on. Though sales at Bonanzle have been steadily increasing daily, we think there is still a lot more that can be done. Keep your eyes peeled in the next couple weeks for improvements like more specific item categories, better item browsing, and personalized user recommendations. We are committed to making this a profitable holiday season for all Bonanzle sellers.

Still Reading? You Might be a Bonanzle Addict.

... And there is only one known antidote: a subscribing Bonanzle membership!

While sales volume continues to build on Bonanzle, most of the revenue we use to afford necessities like our new servers comes from users who have become subscribing members at Bonanzle. There are numerous benefits to subscription, and if you use the site regularly and/or want to bolster the friendliest marketplace online, we would be truly honored to have your support. Though we rarely try to "sell" subscriptions, but they are absolutely critical to sustaining Bonanzle's momentum in these early stages. It takes less than five minutes, and just a few cents per day to help us continue to build something special.
