We launched Kashless.org last year after Christmas in Seattle. I was surprised to see that the first item posted was a Christmas tree and Christmas decorations. When I think back, it makes alot of sense. What to do with all that extra stuff after Christmas? All the extra trimmings, all the old things that you now have new ones of, the double gifts you received, the wrapping paper, boxes, etc. Thoughtful people look to reuse and recycle all that and along came Kashless.org. I expect a similar trend this year.
Interestingly though, we have seen quite a spike in traffic, membership and postings this year BEFORE Christmas. Not sure if it is people making room for all the new stuff coming, or looking for free Christmas presents, but traffic is up about 30% this last week and over 5,000 new members have joined in the last month. Many new people are finding us through our recent partnership with RecycleBank. Many members are also finding holiday shopping deals through our partnership with eBates to get cash back web shopping. I have also found our partnership with NextWorth personally useful as they sent me cash for an old cell phone!
Merry Christmas all and to all good reuse and recycling!
