The Future For Auctions

Some Pluses for the Auction Website

• Keep your money local, and it stays local.  And for people out there in the local business mix, that money will have a greater chance to reach your pocket again.
• Reduce transportation costs by sending an item from your attic across the country for 10 dollars by keeping it local.  In doing this, global warming will be reduced.
  • If you don’t purchase the whole global warming theory, then give this reason a try.
  • The reduction of fuel consumption from transportation costs will reduce demand on oil and hence increase the national surplus.  This done nationally should lead to a reduction in petroleum prices.  Hence, less money will be paid at the gas pumps per gallon.
  • People often wish to sell large items that can’t be shipped feasibly, but are perfect for local pickup.
  • Advertise product sales and purchases from physical store locations.  If a store wants to get the word out about the sale of certain products, oblige the entrance of their store products into the network along with store location information.   Let people know you have product sales going on by posting local sales on this website.  Revenues will be steady from local business advertising.  Whether it is a restaurant advertising special offers for the week or the local hardware store with a sale on hammers.  Locals can get the skinny directly from this local Auction product.
  • If an individual wants to offer their skills with labor (painter, builder, software engineer, etc.), then they can put up a posting of their skills with an offer for a day’s labor or a week’s labor with a price attached to the figure with hours to be worked.  People selling labor jobs should have a list of contact references.  These references should be altered with each new job they complete.  It should be encouraged that a police background check be done if laborers need to do work at peoples homes.
  • People can sell products they produce locally such as (soap, eggs, honey, furniture, etc.) keeping it all local.  This product is the perfect medium for cottage industries.
  • A recap: Local stores can advertise discounts, business people can advertise & sell their labor services, and everything from homes, real-estate, cars or the kitchen sink can be sold on this local auction website.  These categories will soon be added.  As the marketer, you are welcome to add categories as needed!
