The DJgearBid
team works every day to attract more people to the site, but don't
forget that there are many actions you can take to promote your
auctions too! Here are some of them:
Include
a picture with your auction!
Pictures help
attract bidders - this is a proven fact. We even inlude this graphic 
on the listing pages to highlight auctions with pictures. DJgearBid
will link to any picture that you have posted on another website.
Tell
your friends or regular customers about your auctions!
If you have
already built a clientele (on or off the net), tell them about your
auctions at DJgearBid
and you may have some bidders already.
Newsgroup
postings.
Many people put a
short message and a link to a specific auction in an appropriate newsgroup.
Newsgroup info:
There are
newsgroups for almost every type of category at DJgearBid,
here is one source for newsgroup information:
-
Deja
News
- an authority on newsgroups (aka "Internet Discussion Groups")
Note that you
will only have access to a particular newsgroup if your ISP supports
that group (unless you use Deja News or a similar service).
Newsgroup Warnings!
-
Make sure your
post is appropriate to that specific newsgroup!
- Make sure you
understand the rules of a newsgroup before posting (for example, some
newsgroups request that you put these letters at the beginning of the
header line "AUC:" to denote that it's an auction - similar
to "FS:"). Other groups ask that you put the name of the
auction site in the header so that those not interested can skip the item.
- IMPORTANT: DJgearBid
promote's responsible newsgroup posts! Please do not go overboard
with this marketing tactic or you will receive backlash
("Flames") from other members of the newsgroup. Many groups
limit the number of posts allowed to the group (most have a list of
rules that members post periodically).
Tell
everyone you know about
DJgearBid
The more visitors
we get, the more bids your auction will get!
