Trade Me to launch new services category in August
Just a little heads up from us that we are planning on launching a new “services” category on Trade Me at the end of August. This will be a place where small businesses can cost-effectively advertise their services. On the consumer side, Kiwis will be able to search for local businesses, as well as deliver and review the businesses’ feedback.
We are teaming up with NoCowboys, a services-focused website. As well as working with us to build listings in the services category, the NoCowboys team will also be involved in a range of other activities with Trade Me, including a role as the exclusive third party reseller for the category. Today, NoCowboys is contacting all its existing clients to let them know about the partnership.
“Services” will be a new category on the Trade Me homepage, and will sit in-between “Real estate” and “Sports”. It won’t be a separate vertical like Trade Me Motors, Trade Me Jobs and Trade Me Property. More...
