adflyer.co.uk partner with Touch fm and launch marketplace for Warwickshire radio listeners

adflyer.co.uk, one of the UK’s leading online marketplaces, has teamed up with Touch Radio to launch  Touch fm free ads, a brand new and exciting online trading platform for Touch fm listeners in Warwickshire.

Commenting on this new venture with Touch Radio, adflyer Managing Director Sam Naylor: ‘We are really pleased to be working with Touch Radio. It’s exciting to be tying up online and on-air promotion, which is something really unique in the market’.

On behalf of Touch Radio, CEO of Quidem Ltd Steve Orchard agreed that Touch fm free ads promises to be a positive venture for everyone involved: ‘Touch fm's partnership with adflyer opens up an exciting new source of potential revenue’. 

The main advantage to using online classifieds sites is the greater potential customer base, and the new Touch fm free ads website is no exception.  It will give local Warwickshire businesses, merchants and one-off sellers alike the opportunity to advertise their products on a national level, at a much lower cost than traditional advertising.

The priority for Touch fm free ads is the buyers and sellers who will be using it every day, so the website has been designed to be as simple and straightforward to use as possible. 'It will be great to give Touch fm listeners the opportunity to buy and sell online for free’ added Sam Naylor.

Both adflyer and Touch Radio are looking forward to working closely together on this exciting new partnership between on-air and online marketing.

adflyer.co.uk launch Merchant Network

adflyer.co.uk have launched their long-awaited merchant network, a new service designed to help businesses boost their online sales.

The adflyer merchant network allows retailers, estate agents and car dealerships to upload all of their products, properties and vehicles for sale. Commenting on this, adflyer M.D Sam Naylor said: ‘We noticed that online traders were so keen to get their items onto adflyer that they had started uploading products individually. This was neither time nor cost effective as some traders had several thousand products for sale. So as well as saving merchants a great deal of time when uploading their products for sale, the merchant network  also allows potential buyers to recognise a retailer’s brand name.’

As experts in online trading, adflyer know how difficult it can be to for independent retailers to establish themselves online and reach the thousands of potential buyers out there. adflyer have therefore made the most of their expertise in search engine optimisation and the latest internet technology to make their merchants’ products stand out from the crowd in online searches.

Sam Naylor also realises that cost is a very important consideration for retailers in these difficult economic times, adding: ‘We understood that the adflyer merchant network had to be extremely robust and really simple to use. We also knew it had to deliver what merchants really wanted: lower fees than the competition and a better, faster upload facility’.

It is free for trade users to join the adflyer merchant network and upload their inventory.  adflyer’s commission rates are tailored to the specific needs of each type of merchant, with one payment programme for retail merchants and another for motoring and property merchants. 

adflyer’s merchant network is a great solution to the problem of how to be noticed in a vast sea of online traders.  Plus, with no sign up or monthly membership fees, traders only pay for what adflyer’s expertise in online retail can bring: results.

adflyer.co.uk Launch New Website  
Yet another classified ads website?   Yes! But adflyer.co.uk really is different: it is the smarter online marketplace.  

So just how is adflyer smarter?  
For the first time ever, classified ads – targeted at their local markets – feature the same depth and quality of content as a shopping website. With 3,000 product categories split down into lots of helpful sub-groups, the adflyer website is incredibly easy to use.  

adflyer’s new “compare” feature also gives users the chance to view other current adverts and find bargains easily – perfect for those who want to get the best deal possible.  

Developed using the latest technology, adflyer’s intelligent search panel and easy-to-navigate format make finding the products you want an absolute breeze.  

By concentrating on just the best available products (Adflyer does not display business opportunities or services) adflyer.co.uk is a site that appeals to both private sellers and merchants.  

As well as being stuffed full of smart features, adflyer.co.uk is great value too… ads are free to place for both private sellers and businesses.  

If all that wasn’t enough, there’s even more good news: because it turns up at the top of most search engine rankings, adflyer.co.uk is easy to find for buyers, meaning products don’t hang around for long.  

Ben O’Brien, adflyer’s Marketing Director, said:   “At present, when everyone is finding life a little tougher, we have noticed a massive boost in people advertising their goods for sale on adflyer.   Both private sellers and merchants are turning to adflyer to make money from this really smart site”.

adflyer classifieds join forces with BRMB radio

adflyer and BRMB radio have teamed up and launched a brand new automotive website;brmbmotors. The companies have created a localised, free alternative to motor advertising websites, specifically for people in the West Midlands.The concept is simple; to buy and sell cars in your local area, hassle-free.

Sam Naylor from adflyer said “Everyone involved with the project is very excited and have high expectations. It will be great to give users the chance to buy and sell local vehicles completely free. It’s very exciting to be tying up both online and on air promotion, which is something really unique in the market.”

Vehicles can be advertised for a week completely free of charge, or users can pay a small upgrade fee to upload pictures and keep their ad online until they have secured a sale. With so many cars in this country and soaring fuel costs, it does not make sense to travel for miles to look at cars when local people can do business on their doorstep.

With online advertising now leagues ahead in popularity of traditional newspaper classifieds, BRMB Motors is set to become the first place local West Midlands people come to advertise their vehicles.So before paying to advertise in the local paper or heading up the motorway to find your perfect car, visit www.brmbmotors.co.uk – the local place to advertise!
