Hi, we sell alot of items ongoing and alot of clients never knew about us, until reading our classified adverts. Many agree with us too. We will gladly beat any price and are open 7 days. Some readers dislike us, but we are not the only ones repeat advertising. i have tried contacting you. mail me anytime to assist: mo@autostyle.co.za.

We do pay for adverts on the hub, and don't only feed off free adverts unlike many other advertisers. We are considering summarizing adverts in various departments to avoid too many posts and still keep our wide range advertised. Always around to assist and reply

You have been spamming it so much you lost a customer, I am in the market for a Garmin VIRB but no way I am supporting you.....

I don't mind, it's a few lines of ads on your screen just scroll past them. And they are usually right below one another, I can't seem to see the issue at all.

They don't do it that frequently, I mean it's still beats browsing other classified websites.

Do people really get this worked up about adverts? Wow. 

 

Honestly i've never really given it much thought. They're adverts, in a classifieds, full of adverts. If I'm not interested I just scroll past and click next page and 'Boom' there are more adverts. 

 

I guess if people aren't happy with the prices then they won't buy which in turn means they won't advertise.

I can see how some people will write a letter of complaint to PPA 'cause the Lifestyle Cycle Expo had too many stands or was too noisy or something...

We have compressed our adverts, and deleted many single item adverts. Also we support the HUB by paying for adverts. Our website has everything listed with pictures and prices and our stores are open 7 days. We will gladly beat any price and are official Thule and Garmin agents. You may even mail me direct mo@autostyle.co.za

I have seen an improvement, well done.

Now if the other shops could follow suit, don't need to see 10 SS in lumo green whenever I open the classifieds.

Ehh, no.

 

But then as we do not usually browse for borderline porn sites, the targeted advertising engines do not send us more of the stuff we are interested in.
