Why We Started loopcity
For a couple of years we've been kicking around ideas
for a community-based site for Car, truck, SUV fanatic
. We envisioned a place for residents to post ads,
review local businesses, find things to do around
town and communicate with each other online. After
a while we realized that such a site could quickly
take way too much time to operate. Since we both had
full-time jobs, we didn't have a lot of time to spare.
So we decided on a classified ads site. We've wanted
to post ads locally and have been frustrated by the
lack of good options, especially on the web. The available
advertising options all suffer from several problems:
| •
|
They're too expensive. Posting
an ad in the local newspaper or other print
publications simply costs too much money. |
| • |
They have too many limitations. In our opinion,
it seems unreasonable to expect anyone to present
their item in a way that will entice people
to buy it when you're restricted to 4 short
lines of text and (maybe) one photo. |
| • |
They don't run long enough. Most items probably
aren't going to sell over a weekend or in 8
days. They need more exposure time. |
