Flutteroo Auctions Signs Up 75,000 Customers
Last Updated on Friday, 20 August 2010 02:40 Written by a2e Friday, 20 August 2010 02:40
Flutteroo is pleased to announce that its growing popularity continues and that it has now signed up over 75 000 customer to the online auction site. The milestone was passed this week, with CEO Dave Hobday commenting, “Less than a year after launch, it’s increasingly clear that our simple formula of exciting auctions, high end products, and unforgettable prices is proving to be very popular with consumers. We are delighted to have hit the 75,000 mark so quickly and are really excited about continuing this growth with so many more exciting initiatives in the pipeline to make our auctions even more attractive for our customers”.
The online auction site runs 3 different types of auctions; penny auctions, lowest unique bid auctions, and price drop auctions. With these 3 auctions Flutteroo is unique in the market and this differentiation is creating hundreds more happy winners month on month.
The company strives hard to offer bidders the very latest products, especially when other retailers are struggling to secure stock, such as with the latest iPhone4. The opportunity to win cheap iPhone’s on the site has been a consistently popular choice for Flutteroo customers, with many being sold each week and shipped out to winners.
Ensuring consumers have the best products to bid on is all part of the company’s obsessive focus on perfecting the customer experience. This emphasis on the consumer is clearly a great attraction, as the young business passes its 75 000 milestone. Throughout the summer, and progressing into the autumn, Flutteroo looks forward to being able to provide even more sought-after products, such as the new Microsoft Xbox 360 Slim. This desire to serve their customers is allowing Flutteroo to differentiate themselves from the emerging pay-per-bid auction market and will secure the company and its site as the UK’s most reliable and trustworthy online auction provider, giving bidders the chance to win and buy new iPads, iPhones, Wiis, Xbox 360s, and 3D TVs all at cheap, bargain prices.
Flutteroo is optimistic about the future and has big plans for its auctions. The company expects to be reaching 100 000 customers signed up in the coming months and is already eyeing new opportunities to continue to accelerate its growth even further.

Sun-Times Media, the Chicago region’s most trusted source of local news and information, has teamed up with Ranger Data Technologies, Inc. and joins nearly 300 local newspaper and broadcast partners in North America today to launch Boocoo.com, a national online auction house. Boocoo.com offers consumers a highly competitive, local alternative to eBay and other national e-commerce transaction sites, and is expected to generate revenue for Sun-Times Media and other news media companies.
“Sun-Times Media’s partnership with Ranger Data Technologies will help us to expand the ways we serve residents of the Chicago region,” said Hunt Kingsbury, Vice President and General Manager of Interactive Media for Sun-Times Media. “Boocoo is a great resource for people who want an auction site that is competitive in price and very local. We are excited to offer this to the areas we already serve.”
“Because of the explosive growth in Internet usage in the past decade, a new revenue opportunity has opened up for newspapers and other local media. Boocoo.com was designed in part to regain revenue lost to online classified advertising and auction sites while giving consumers a secure and competitive alternative rich in local content,” said George Willard Sr., the Chairman, CEO, and Founder of Ranger Data Technologies. The 11-year-old Royal Oak, Mich.-based company founded by the former newspaper publisher is best known for its classified advertising software systems.
“The massive audience produced by web users, loyal readers, and viewers of hundreds of trusted local media brands combined with Boocoo’s consumer centric site, will result in long term revenue growth for all our partners,” said Mr. Willard.
As a special promotion for today’s national site launch, fees will be waived for all consumers for a minimum of two weeks.
“Boocoo.com is an innovative and exciting approach for the local media to enter the e-commerce transactional marketplace,” said Kip Knight, a former Vice-President of Marketing for eBay North America who serves as a consultant to Ranger Data Technologies. “I also believe sellers should be attracted to the site because it is value priced relative to other online auctions,” he said.
Buyers protest over the cost of eBay returns
Last Updated on Monday, 24 May 2010 04:00 Written by a2e Monday, 24 May 2010 04:00
EBay users are demanding that the online auction site reviews the protection it offers to buyers because many are being left out of pocket when making returns.
If buyers receive an item bought through eBay that is not as described on the website, or is faulty, they can ask the seller to resolve the situation.
If the seller refuses to do so, the buyer can claim a refund via the eBay buyer protection scheme, but the company requires the purchaser to pay the cost of returning the item and this is not refunded.
Although buyers can pursue sellers for the costs under the Sale of Goods Act, it often means resorting to the small claims court.
Stephen McGlade, a solicitor with consumer lobby group Which?, says eBay should look at its buyer protection policy because it unfairly favours sellers and is not in the spirit of the law.

I’m guessing here that paying large amounts of hard cash to a TV company for advertising is out the question?
not reassess the plan”. In your plan you should include online and offline publications that you might want to be included in. For example if your auction sells only toys or modals you might have on your list Toys Monthly etc. Once you have a decent list to start with prepare a introduction in the form of an article that includes your unique aspects. This will be used for press releases and reference for adverts and any viral marketing you may do via forums etc. Don’t be too concerned if a lot of the publications are not interested, remember at the very least you may have planted a seed in the mind of a decision maker and so next time you contact them the time might be right or you might have more to say. You aim is to get your brand out there, remember the comedian, they might not recall the jokes but they will remember the funny hat next they see it. It’s a case of timing, the timing has to be right for both them and you and with luck it will be but might take a while, keep at it, nout for doing nout.Another way to get your brand out is writing columns or features for magazines and submitting them. If you are good at writing and what you have to say it interesting then there is a chance publications will be interested and publish you. You can also offer yourself up as an expert for free at first. You might find that this service will come in very useful for a number of publications and this will generate a large amount of exposure for you.
Try the best you can to pick up genuine one way links from people that think you actually have something worthwhile. This will really help your search engine optimisation which should always be one of your aims. Being high up in the search engines is all part of building a brand and driving traffic to your site. You can supplement this with an ad campaign but you can save a lot on that budget by getting you SEO right. One good trick a hell of a lot of sites still miss in using an effective TITLE tags on pages of their site. For example if you want local traffic make sure you include your local area address in your homepage TITLE tag. Same is true for your categories, if you have a category called Flowers then that should be in your TITLE tag. So many site just have the site name in all the pages and it kills them.
