In response to a suggestion by some vendors, I'm considering setting up an additional forum in the Marketplace for "vendor catalog posts".
These would be threads with just the original post (i.e. no followups) which could be used as an editable catalog of sorts. These would be editable for a year by the poster. I don't know the cost. Probably about the same as buying a regular classified ad every two weeks.
These would be static threads and would never be bumped into the new thread feeds. People could go to that forum, obviously, and look at the posts, and the vendor could point to that catalog in their sig and in classified ads.
If you're a vendor, would you use it? Point to it in ads and your sig?
If you're a buyer, would you peruse the catalogs?
Please share your helpful comments on this idea. THANKS! :biggrin:
