MyNewMarketplace.com Announces Winners of Social Media Contest
Website helps individuals and businesses buy and sell almost anything
DETROIT--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Described as a cross between ?eBay without the auction? and ?Craigslist
without the creeps,? the new Michigan-based website MyNewMarketplace.com
was recently launched to help individuals and businesses buy and sell
almost anything in their local markets with up to nationwide visibility.
?As we work to attract more visitors to the website, there will no
charge for any ads placed?
The creators of MyNewMarketplace.com are utilizing social media, in
combination with traditional public relations and marketing, as a way to
attract visitors to the website.
Michigan residents Michelle Plucinsky and Donna Hay were recently
announced as winners of the website?s social media contest that began in
late June and ended on July 31, 2010.
Winners were selected based on the greatest number of ads placed and
website referrals and will receive credit of $1,000 each toward future
advertising on MyNewMarketplace.com. A new contest is underway during
the month of August.
?As we work to attract more visitors to the website, there will no
charge for any ads placed,? said entrepreneur Peder Blohm, the website?s
founder. ?After that, we will charge only low fees to help keep out the
?riff raff?.?
Blohm added that charging fees will help to ensure accountability and
prevent people from hiding behind fake identities that have plagued
other web sites such as Craigslist.
MyNewMarketplace.com offers easy navigation and a variety of options to
buy and sell products and services, promote new businesses, post and
search job openings, and support the local economy. The site does not
include personal ads.
One of the website?s unique features is the ability to search by
counties, state and the entire United States, unlike Craigslist which
provides only a limited number of cities.
?We want MyNewMarketplace.com to give individuals and businesses located
in Michigan?s Upper Peninsula and less populated areas around the state
and throughout the U.S. greater access and visibility,? added Blohm.

media contest, visit www.mynewmarketplace.com
