Classifieds with Localized Shopping
by: Michael Medeiros
The Mjmls Classifieds, http://www.mjmls.com,
received a modest improvement, with the utilization of a new GoLocal™
Feature. After several months of, “Beta-Testing,” various
localization models, the Mjmls staff decided to implement a feature
allowing users to sort advertisements by State or browse on a
National level, using a simple, “Dropdown-menu”.
IT Developer, James Park,
http://www.geodesicsolutions.com, commented, “A user can visit the
site and select a State from the Dropdown. While browsing, the site
will then only display Ads within the State selected”. The new
feature creates a simple and effective way to sort advertisements to
a region of the country.
Michael Medeiros, the founder of Mjmls.com,
believes, “The Dropdown is user friendly, as shoppers do not need to
know the distance radius of a Zip Code. Once a State is Selected,
Individual Towns can be sorted on the Ad Display tables with a
simple mouse click”. Although a Zip radius feature is available, Mr.
Medeiros feels the Dropdown is simple and fast for end-users, “It
uses simple selection. No page needs to load for the end-user to
select a location or radius”.
For various reasons, most online Marketplaces
are realizing a need to provide localized shopping. Mjmls believes
this enhancement will provide significant savings to shoppers by
reducing shipping cost. In addition, it reduces the possibilities of
fraudulent activity.
Internet advertisers are experiencing a rise in
online fraud. Although Mjmls attempts to keep their users informed
of possible frauds and scams, this new feature will reduce the
overall risks. Michael feels, “Localization enables a buyer and
seller to meet and physically review the items or service that is
available. There is no hiding behind Usernames and Free Email
accounts, at the closing of a local transaction”.
Although Mjmls is a relatively new marketplace,
it is gaining traction by offering valuable features, such as
GoLocal. While Business Advertising seems to be the fastest growing
market, they are determined to incorporate a valuable Real Estate
marketing solution. The new localization model is a big step toward
future development of a Real Estate Marketing Solution.
Mjmls.com continues to offer a free Marketplace
for buyers and sellers to interact. They rely on the utilization of
optional enhanced features, for support of the domain. No fees are
attached to the sale of items or use of site features, such as
GoLocal. Advertising is relatively simple, requiring a brief
registration.
To use the Mjmls GoLocal feature, simply select the state of choice from the Dropdown menu on any Classifieds Directory.
