Bikesoup racing toward 1000 bikes

Posted on in Cycles News

Bikesoup is racing towards the 1000 bike milestone & now is the time for you to benefit from their focussed, high quality consumer traffic.

‘Thanks to bikesoup for promoting our bike stock. We have sold several bikes through their link to our site' -Sue, Bourton Cycles (via Twitter)

Bikesoup have just launched their online magazine - www.bikesoup.cc - and are working directly with suppliers to review products and linking to YOUR adverts on Bikesoup. Customers can read the reviews and find their dream bike without even looking at Google!

Bikesoup logo

Talking of Google, your Bikesoup adverts will give you a huge marketing push and allow you to compete with the large multiple retailers. Try for yourself with a random bike like a ‘Pinarello FP Uno' - the Bikesoup advert for Bridgtown Cycles is right next to Evans Cycles and the review on BikeRadar on page 1 of Google. Unless you have very deep pockets, how are you going to compete with the large multiple retailers on your doorstep? Bikesoup levels the playing field.

And it gets better, for a limited period, Bikesoup will upload all of your stock FREE OF CHARGE. If you are already a registered dealer then all you need to do is contact Bikesoup and request the stock upload template. Simply complete with your current shop stock - as many bikes as you like - and email it back with your bikesoup password. Bikesoup will do the rest.

If you are a first-time user, you will need to register as a dealer with your ActSmart ID and postcode. Once registered you can upload your stock onto Bikesoup and get 2 months free advertising on the UK's premier new and used bicycle marketplace via the free stock upload service.

Any questions? Contact Antony on 01273 958906 or 07920 008824 or email aa@bikesoup.co.uk
