OLA-Radio Premiere Is A Great Success
The premiere of OLA-Radio was a great success judging by the response of listeners. The chat board was full of users, and a number of questions were presented to guest Chris Fain, CEO of Onlineauction.com.
As Onlineauction.com gears up after the major relaunch of the site with new features and improved usability, members are ramping up thier listings and promoting the site as the true online auction venue. Fain discussed the improvements to the site that have been made and what is planned for the future. Fain outlined plans for webinars and other educational events aimed at improving sell thru rates, as well as advertising concepts on google and other venues. Chris said he realizes that the site is not where it needs to be, but with the recent and planned improvements, the site would become the premiere online auction venue.
Members Leading the Way
Fain said that he and the executives of OLA are extemely proud of the huge support the members are showing to the site. He thanked all the members for their support and help in defining bugs in the new release. Our members have provided the input we needed to ensure the improvements we have made meet their needs Fain said.
Members have conducted several site promotion sales over the past few months, and continue to promote the site with advertising in various venues, blogs and other websites.
Future Programs
The OLA-Radio program will air every Thursday evening 9-10 PM ET on the internet from www,ola-radio.com as part of the eCommerce Marketing Radio Network. Future programs will feature staff members of OLA as well as internet marketing experts and of course users of the site. The program will focus on how to improve sales results, better listings and ways to market the site.
Hosts Dave White and Sparky will lead the discussions and feature special auctions and spotlight memebers.
What Listeners Said
Several members and listeners have already written blogs regarding the program. Scott Pooler, author of the Trading Assistant Journal blog gives his take on the program and gives his insight on the site. OLA member Grouchow posted his comments on his blog as did member Callmemomo.
Glitches
While the program was a great success, it was not without glitches. About 10 minutes into the broadcast a power surge (severe thunderstorms were in the area) knocked the program off the internet for about 5 minutes. Dave & Sparky were able to get the program back up and the program continued without further problems.
What Did You Learn From the OLA Rummage Sale?
You Know this blog is supposed to be about my side of the mic, so I hope I can tell my side and not bore you to much.
The OLA Rummage Sale has come to an end. Some wonder what has the OLA Rummage Sale done for me! From my point of view a lot.
I will admit I’m not a seller and don’t claim to be one, so many may just blow this off, I hope not.
The biggest winner from the auction was the person or persons who participate in the first place.
They came and stumbled trying to list on a new platform for them, and it seemed there was just a ton of help for them when they fell down and just couldn’t seem to get it right. Wow to me that’s a plus..Getting to know each other.
Then there’s the new buyers that came or did I miss that someone sold something?
New people, and what do you do when you find something good ? You get what you can, then tell another person and so forth. Don’t you think they told others of the bargains on OLA? More exposure thats a plus.
I think some of OLA’s staff came to know all of us a little better and how strong we are…. and will be there as they have been to pick us up when we stumble.
Remember if I’m right this place is going to get big. Kinda nice to know the folks that run the place when you need to talk to them. Or even have someone to talk with.
When things are small and time is not to busy, lets build on what we have learned, not on what we don’t have.
