Bonanzle Item Buildup

Today begins our monthlong intensive effort to get at least 2000 items posted for sale on the site by the beginning of June, when buying on the site will officially begin.

We here at Bonanzle understand you are a busy person who could be doing many things besides putting stuff up for sale. That is precisely the reason we have created the fastest item posting process on the Internet. We also understand that most people have at least 10-20 things cluttering their life that they could sell if they had an easy way to do it. Seems like you people and Bonanzle are the perfect match, hm?

But since we're new and you have a lot of places you could post your stuff for sale, we're going to sweeten the pot even more. From now until May 31st at midnight, all items posted for sale on Bonanzle can be listed and sold completely free of charge.

And in fact, not only are we going to make it free to post, we might actually end up paying you. For the person who has the greatest number of items posted for sale + items posted for sale by people they refer, we are going to award a free next-gen game system of their choice (Playstation 3 OR Xbox 360 OR Wii, basic models, or a $250 check if that isn't your bag). A minimum 100 total items posted between you and your referrals are required to be in the running.

For the person who refers the most users that sign up, we're going to award a free copy of Microsoft Office 2007 (Home). Minimum of 5 users signed up who mention you in the referral for this one.

It's Spring, which means spring cleaning, which means you are likely to find a receptive audience amongst your friends for this free+simple way to do spring cleaning without throwing away a week of their life planning / posting notices for / setting up / sitting around at a garage sale. Why not bypass the trouble, post 20 things on Bonanzle in a few minutes, and move on with life? They will find no faster way to get lots of stuff posted than Bonanzle.

I'll try to post an update or two as we get closer to June to appraise all of what kind of response we've gotten so far.

One final note -- please, no posting this to web sites, message boards, etc. We're going to get around to that. For now, we just want referrals who come from word of mouth, emails, and your blog, if you have one. How do we know who referred them? They tell us, when they register on the new item form.

Thanks and good luck!
