If we told you it was now possible to sell your goods or services online:

• Without spending £000s on a new website
• For a low cost monthly fee
• With no commissions
• Including advanced features such as click and collect
• Sophisticated marketing support

Would you be interested?

That’s why we're delighted to announce the launch of thebestof Marketplace allowing the best local companies to sell their products or services online!

Why go online?

As more and more commerce goes online, those that do not are being left behind. The statistics are compelling:

• The average UK consumer will spend £1,174 online in 2015
• This equates to 15.2% of all retail sales
• This is forecast to grow by 40% in the next 5 years

While national giants like John Lewis and Marks and Spencer have poured millions into e-commerce platforms, the ability to sell goods and services over the internet has remained a distant dream for most local companies. 

Even worse, those small businesses who have tried to join the internet revolution using facilities such as Amazon or Ebay have found themselves paying as much as 25% of the transaction cost to these platforms.

So what if there was a way to sell your goods and services online without having to spend thousands of pounds on an e-commerce website or pay away most of your profits in commission?

We have an online market place for your needs

October sees the launch of thebestof Marketplace - a sophisticated e-commerce platform allowing consumers to find, research and purchase products and services from local companies online. 

• Thebestof Marketplace is available to business members of thebestof nationwide, for a small monthly fee. Your local ones are thebestofpoole and thebestofbournemouth
