JapClassifieds has been up and running for the best part of a year now and we've seen a substantial growth in new members and pageviews. But there's still room for big improvements and further impact for us to make in the car sales industry.
Update: As of January 2014, all following changes are now in effect. Have fun!
To facilitate the creation of the UK's best Japanese Car Classifieds website, within the next few weeks/months we're taking a new approach to membership and the fees associated with listing your car for sale, and we'll be rolling out a few new changes.
In doing this we believe this enables us to create not only a greater user experience, but higher quality content and the chance to be a part of the UK's only exclusive Japanese Car classifieds community.
Changing for the better
Basic membership and the opportunity to create your own user account will be charged at a flat fee of £10 for a whole year. This isn't a contract of any kind - you're free to give up your member privileges at anytime, but to continue advertising any cars for sale and to have access to our exclusive membership perks, you must remain a member.
Whilst you remain a member you'll be able to advertise your Japanese car for sale for FREE. That's right, unlimited vehicle listings without paying a penny.
Remember, many other classifieds websites charge upwards of £10 per advert. It only costs you £10 for membership including Unlimited standard adverts on JapClassifieds, plus all the membership perks. Just think of this as an opportunity to advertise your car for less than our competitors, plus get a ton of fantastic membership benefits on the side!
For this small fee, your year-long membership will enable you the following perks:
- Unlimited vehicle listings - advertise as many vehicles as you like whilst you're a member for 100% FREE
- Standard adverts have a duration of 30 whole days
- Annoying external banner adverts will never be shown whilst you're logged in
- Affiliate earnings allow you to earn a cash bonus for every new member you successfully sign-up
- Access plus posting rights to our exclusive membership forum
- One-on-one support with our customer service reps
- Exclusive weekly newsletter straight to your email inbox
- Featured Adverts will only cost £5 per advert and last for 60 days
- Access to your own 'Watch List' to keep track of your favourite cars for sale
- Access to a range of 'hidden' articles, pages and features on the website only members can view
Exciting times ahead
In the coming months we'll also be making a few substantial changes to the way the website operates:
- We're busy creating a whole new design which we'll be rolling out very soon
- New Affiliate Earnings program is being developed
- Advert duration for Featured Adverts will be increasing to 60 days - that's almost two whole months of exposure on our Home Page!
- We're disabling our Facebook login functionality
- We'll be making a ton of aesthetic and usability changes to make using the website a slick and satisfying experience
- We're upgrading our servers so you'll see noticeable speed improvements
Of course, it will always be free to access the website and view any car for sale if you're not a member. We'll keep producing all of our blog posts and you can view JapClassifieds just like any other website. When you're ready to sell your car and become a member, we'll see you on the other side.
