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,

  1. Flyers made up to put under car windscreen wipers at cricket / rugby games
  2. Signs made up for the wall of their buildings that are highly visible
  3. Pamphlets to include in boxes that get sent out with purchases
  4. Banners etc for their own websites

So, We would like to ask – what ideas do you have?  Nothing is too crazy as far as we are concerned.

You can get in touch and let us know your ideas by either

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..

Cheers

Shane
