It’s been a while since we’ve expanded our core, but we’re happy to announce that we’ve begun work on the following expansions.
Auctions
Yes! We’re in the pre-development stages, but we’re fairly sure we can finally pull this off (90% sure). We will create a dedicated category just for auctions so sellers can enjoy the benefits of selling via a bidding process. As mentioned years ago, this will be a paid feature (per listing). However, since auctions usually bring in more money for the sellers, we believe this will be beneficial to both parties.
User tools
-
Autobumper. We are working on an automated auto bumper system that will bump your topics every 48 hours. We’re not sure how this will be provided to the end-user. We don’t want the whole site to auto-bump, so most likely, just like auctions, this will be a paid feature.
-
Canned responses. What’s this? We’re building an admin-like tool that will be included in your composer that will allow users to store pre-written responses. Are you sick and tired of copying and pasting your payment details? Or writing the same responses to clients over and over again? Our canned responses will solve that. You will be able to store an unlimited amount of responses, this will save you time dealing with your clients (and staff). This feature will be free and available to everyone.
Visual upgrade
While slight, we plan to touch up the website a bit. The changes will be subtle, so don’t worry! We’re just trying to spruce things up so you guys don’t get bored.
Vital core upgrades
We’re outdated in some areas of our website. We will be upgrading random plugins to bring everything up to speed.
SWAPD Syndicate
We’re rolling out our own personal concierge service called SWAPD Syndicate. In short, we will do things for new clients that they don’t want to do, mainly look for sellers for their projects. From services to hunting down properties, to even managing tickets for our power sellers. We will establish a SWAPD Partner program, where we will work with hand-picked sellers on our website. Together, we will work on projects paid for by clients who do not wish to mingle with us, but want to get things done. Yes, we get a few of those.
We will roll out these changes slowly in the upcoming weeks, so stay tuned for updates.
That is all. Thank you for reading!
