References and Customer service comments for Prosale.co.nz

Statement by the manager for prosale.co.nz:

Most sellers are pleasantly surprised about the service and quality they receive for the relatively small cost of internet placement at prosale.co.nz.

Below are some frequently asked questions:

We get some e-mails with people asking questions such as: How many hits do you get ? My answer: Hits are a misleading word, as each image is counted as a hit. VISITORS is what counts: We do get about 400 - 650 a day, and that might sound good to some and not so good to others. You can view life statistics online at: www.prosale.co.nz/stats I believe that it is important to get people clicking on your link that are really interested in looking at or buying your property or business. Quality counts, not necessarily quantity alone. We work manually to re-submit our ( your ! ) pages, and the higher priced listings are worked on in more detail regarding html coding and international promotion through search engines.

How many properties or businesses actually sell through the Internet ? My answer: We don't really know exactly. Because I recommend to everyone that is selling: DO AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. Put up a sign on the property or business - advertise in various papers and mention: see our photos at www.prosale.co.nz/yournumber - place flyers at the supermarkets, sport clubs and other relevant places - tell everyone about it - hold an open home. YOU are the marketer of your property or business, and you " reap what you sow". Placing a photo-listing on the Internet is only ONE part of it. And it can work well, but please DON'T RELY on the internet ALONE !

Some people suggested to have a search function where you can search for a certain size, price, location etc. which then returns only what you are looking for. I personally found that most search functions on other similar websites did not return much at all, or they missed some properties on their own site, it was frustrating. We are a reasonable small operation so we can pay attention to detail and people find a property easy enough, because the Main listings page is well organised and its easy to browse through the listings - and hey: who knows what treasure you could find ! Use the search function if you are looking for a certain property number that has been advertised or if you have exhausted browsing efforts.

Why do we charge fee"s ? There are costs for : Hosting, technical assistance, design, hours spent on the computer, domain name registration, search engine fee's and more PLUS because nobody can expect to run a business for free in the long run and we intend to be here for a long time and grow into New Zealands true private sales webite serving people that enjoy selling their property or business privately and buyers dealing with the owners direct. It taks a lot of time promoting the site and we find the FREE listings often don't get into the good positions. The more we get paid for a listing the more time we will spend on promotion, positioning and improving visual displays.

WE CANNOT PROMISE THAT YOUR PROPERTY OR BUSINESS WILL SELL, BUT "YOU GOT TO BE IN TO WIN"... its just like the lottery ! and the Prosale website is probably giving you the best results in New Zealand and international - so buy your ticket now and list your sale with PROSALE ! We promise good customer service and cheerful support.
