Local business International reach (The Thanet Star)

February 8th, 2010

This is a snippet of a post by The Thanet Star that originally appeared at The Thanet Star.

I’d like to take a moment to introduce you to a local business. This is not a business with a shop or even a local building this is a local Internet business called BootFair.net.

It is the brain child of two Thanet guys who I happen to know read this blog.The concept is simple – a site where you can run the digital equivalent of a boot fair stall to sell whatever it is that you wish to sell. It’s not an auction so you know what price you will be fetching when you set out and you can put as little or as much on your stall as you like.

I especially like the fact that should you not make at least the cost of the stall in the time that you have it for they will extend the time by a week until you do make your money back.

As you might be aware I’ve been running ebay adverts for Thanet related products and sellers from Thanet. With this business I feel I will be supporting the area just as much if I were to look at running a listing for them instead. That’s not to say I will but I’m thinking about it.
