Congratulations to Bonanzle who won the Excellence in Technology award!
Here’s the press release:
-In what writers called “a runaway,” Bonanzle.com was recently named the top eBay Alternative of 2008 by readers of SmallBusinessComputing, a Jupiter Media company. Over a six week period from November through the beginning of January, readers were asked to choose between Bonanzle and other eBay alternatives, including Etsy, eCrater and Wigix.
“This award validates our commitment to providing users with a marketplace that goes beyond the buzzwords often used to describe it: more social, simpler, and more fun. We worked for almost two years to build Bonanzle before we launched it. The payoff has been an experience so simple yet rich that it has turned many of our users into Bonanzle promoters. These users have helped to drive our traffic up more than 50% every month since we launched – their efforts are really starting to add up, even as we’re still almost completely unknown to the national media,” says Bonanzle CEO Bill Harding.
Walt Koneda, a professional auctioneer and regular contributor to The Examiner, says of Bonanzle, “People in the community are so impressed and appreciative of the opportunity here that they fill the forum with tips and suggestions about how to get the site and individual stores juiced in the search engines… the users have become evangelists for the site, and there is no amount of advertising money in the world that can replace that. This is how sites go viral, this is how fortunes are made.”
I recently had the pleasure to interview Mark Dorsey about Bonanzle. Mark showed us the ins and outs of buying and selling and what makes this site so special. Bonanzle really picked up the ball when eBay dropped it! Bonanzle puts the fun back into buying and selling collectibles and unique items on the Internet.
