hereUare, Inc. today announced the launch of its highly-developed online-classifieds platform that includes traditional online-classifieds’ features with the addition of some fresh features that help meet the growing needs of today’s users. These new features are designed to heighten the simplicity, safety, personalization and enjoyment of users as they search for great deals and easily connect with others in their local communities and throughout the world. The clean, organized and easy-to-navigate site is set up for use internationally, but at first the company plans to focus its marketing efforts on consumers in the United States. This is the first phase in the company’s multi-pronged plan to bring consumers fully integrated web solutions on a local level and beyond.
hereUare Classifieds was developed with local users in mind, right down to the company’s name. The site offers a large, comprehensive online-classifieds portal where users can enjoy some of the following features:
- Numerous cities, regions and areas within which to post and view listings
- IP mapping that is able to detect a user’s approximate location and populate the website with locally-relevant content for a given city
- Relevant categories and subcategories
- A complete classifieds search feature, including customized fields
- A way for signed-in users to save listings of interest to them in a dedicated folder named “My Classifieds,” as they go through the site
- A function that allows users to easily report abusive, non-compliant postings when they are encountered
- The option to upload and view multiple pictures shown within a listing
- A broad array of community forum topics to encourage discussions
The company is confident that the site’s additional local content will encourage users to visit the site regularly, rather than just on occasion, as is often the case with more traditional classifieds sites where people go to merely buy, sell or exchange something. “We built hereUare Classifieds as a destination for users, not just as an information source. It is easy to use, and it will help people of all ages connect with others and stay current on what’s happening in their local towns and around the globe,” says Benedict Van, Chief Executive Officer of hereUare, Inc.
Beyond some of the traditional features mentioned above, hereUare Classifieds also offers:
- Users a unique “For Students” section where college and university students can buy/sell/exchange school-based items, find a roommate or activity partner, advertise school events, establish a study group or look for off-campus housing, among other things. The company plans to begin working with colleges and universities starting in California, prior to the start of the new school year, to begin building a strong community of users.
- A fun name that is relevant for local content. It can take on the role of an announcer by introducing each city—i.e. “hereUare San Francisco.” Also, the thought behind it is when users perform a local classifieds search, and their requests for results are granted, this is the website’s way of saying “hereUare”.
- A “Featured Listings” section that allows realtors to promote their upcoming open houses and companies to promote hot job-openings
- Users to enjoy easy access to additional local content (i.e. food, wine, news, weather and sales events) within its dedicated “Around Town” section in the same page-view
- A very organized news page featuring a variety of categories from local to global and everything in between
- Users the ability to control all aspects of their ads from their personal administration panel (i.e. see how many visitors their listings are receiving and easily edit their postings at any time)
- Users a unique way to personalize their listings’ titles with color during the simple four-step posting process, so their ads stand out from the rest
- Visitors to the site an easy way to forward a listing to multiple people all at once
- A helpful city-view rolodex function that allows users to easily select and toggle back and forth between cities of their choosing
hereUare is equipped with highly-scalable and adaptable technology behind the site that will allow it to create new applications in the future. The company is committed to improving users’ experiences and welcomes user feedback as it strives to develop innovative tools and resources designed to make it easier for consumers to buy, sell and exchange goods and services locally.
