For January Sella came in as the 18th busiest New Zealand website*.
We’ve seen increases in activity on the site with more people registering, bidding, buying now and asking questions. Moving into the new year the property section of the site has seen noticeable increases as homes for sale and rental property demand increase at the start of the year as people relocate and get set for the new year.

Sella has been going gangbusters over the last few months, which is great – we now have over 160,000 listings, 140,000 members and 400,000 users a month – all in only 14 months of operation!
Over the last couple of months we have had many people contact us asking how they can help spread the word of sella.co.nz, which is fantastic, it is really great to have the support of so many people.
Some of the things that people have asked us about are,
Flyers made up to put under car windscreen wipers at cricket / rugby games
Signs made up for the wall of their buildings that are highly visible
Pamphlets to include in boxes that get sent out with purchases
Banners etc for their own websites

We look forward to all of your ideas and there will be a nice prize for the best suggestions. We will definitely be actioning some of these suggestions..

Carters, KidsCan StandTall Charitable Trust and a host of local celebrities have teamed up to build and decorate playhouses in the Auckland area. These playhouses will then be displayed at Carters branches across Auckland next week while they are auctioned off online at sella.co.nz.
All 15 playhouses will be decorated by celebrities from all walks of life…. Mark Olsen and his 8 year old art student, The Warriors, Sally Ridge, Shane Cameron, Cocksy, The Fairy Shop, The Mad Butcher, Claire Kingman-Jones, Peter Urlich, Josh Heslop and Sera-Lily.
Carters, as the building supplies merchant arm of Carter Holt Harvey, is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year. The folks at Carters felt it was a good time to give back to the community that helped them reach this great achievement. In particular, they wanted to help New Zealand’s future by supporting KidsCan StandTall Charitable Trust.
The playhouses are constructed from plywood and will be painted with Wattyl paints that can survive the weather outdoors. With a doorway and three windows, the playhouses would make a fantastic Christmas gift for children. All funds raised will go back to KidsCan StandTall.
So check out the Carters KidsCan store on sella.co.nz for more information and the individual playhouse auctions!
