How one little article can boost your traffic

Just thought that I would put a small blurb down about an article that appeared in the Calgary Herald today about Luxfiend.

It is amazing how much traffic this brought to the website today.  By Noon, we have seen about a 5 fold increase in our normal traffic and we have also seen the most amount of concurrent users on the site ever.  It also obvious that people from different parts of North America are reading this article too since we are getting hits from all over the US and Canada.

We have been busy sending out emails on 10% off coupons (for signing up for the newsletter - you can sign up here).

It blows me away how a little article can generate this much traffic.  Thanks to those who decide to visit the site.  www.luxfiend.com

Making Cents – Luxfiend Inc. creates an online store dedicated to consigning pre-owned, high-end luxury apparel

During these economic times, finding ways of saving or making extra money couldn’t be more important.  Luxfiend Inc. has opened an online store at www.luxfiend.com to assist consumers with selling and buying used luxury goods.

Have you ever bought high-end designer, handbags, jewelry or accessories that you thought would be great, that cost a small fortune, but for some reason you really don’t use anymore, or never used. The item is still like new. So what do you do with it? Do you keep it in the closet or drawer collecting dust and making you feel guilty ever time you see it taking up space, or just find a way to sell it? But where, how and through who? Do you procrastinate, because it is so time consuming, and some websites are just plan complicated and annoying? Luxfiend Inc. is the answer to your dilemma. With the economic times being the way they are, this couldn’t be a more important time to make or keep some extra money in your bank account.

Luxfiend’s philosophy is to create a marketplace atmosphere on line, which allows quality -minded individuals a source to purchase authentic high-end designer items, at a reasonable price. At the same time allowing the seller a place they can trust will eliminate the time consuming job of market and selling their gently used designer products.

Karen Hamilton was looking for exactly this type of online store, but didn’t find an online store that could sell her quality luxury goods in a no hassle manner, so she decided to create her own site to sell her items and allow other individuals to sell and buy items as well. Karen says, ”I looked everywhere and couldn’t find anything that sold items the way I would want them sold, so I decided I needed to do this myself.”

Luxfiend Inc. is an online consignment store selling high-end, 100% guaranteed authentic, pre-owned luxury handbags, jewelry and accessories, all in new-like condition. If you would like to buy authentic pre-owned items, you can go to http://www.luxfiend.com.
