What's in a Name?

Ahh... "What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."
Romeo and Juliet (II, ii, 1-2)


Shakespeare probably couldn't have envisioned the internet site Bonanzle or Bonanza.

The meaning of the poem remains the same. I'm thinking Shakespeare could relate to relentless simplicity.

After all, this is not complex, “To be, or not to be, that is the question”
Hamlet: Act 3, Scene 1

and Bonanza it will be.

The website formerly called Bonanzle is Bonanza now in name.

Okey dokey!

It is still the same great website for finding and buying out of the ordinary things, but have perhaps limited time to scope and hunt out those desired objects.

It is still the same great website for selling all those out of the ordinary things so many are looking to buy.

So, whether you are aware of name changes in internet domains or not, Bonanza is
fantastic to find everything but the ordinary.

There is a special Bonanza sale that comes on the heels of the Bonanzle name change, going on now. (October 1, 2010 - October 17, 2010)

 the Renaissance Fair at Bonanza, hosted by MomsPennies To everything, there is a season (and always a reason to shop).

 
This month of October, the Renfair will provide the excitement of a street fair with all the games, pastimes and excitements. You'll find awesome vendors with their special wares, with discounts for the event. It is the 2nd Annual Renaissance Fair and is more organized than ever with streamlined categories to shop, due to the Fair hostess, Momspennies organizational skills.

Are you a Renaissance man or woman, free thinker, philosopher or artist? You'll find yourself amongst friends at the Bonanza Renaissance Fair and pick up some great holiday gifts at the same time. Inspire your mind, share and bookmark.

But one thing remains for this blogger. The name of the blog must change.

Forward movement, love it...off to make a new blog for Bonanza.



Ciao!

Where to Buy, What to Buy, How to Buy? Try the ABC's

I often look at blogs, posts and forums of people looking to buy certain products and long lost wanted things for themselves or their families.  Most of the blogs I read are about specific things like:
Where to buy certain hard to find candy or where to buy fabric like the Red Sox and hard to find foods, on chowhound.
You might be searching to find that postcard from the fifties in Eastham, MA of the windmill.  Whatever you are looking for, it need not be a lifetime search.
 Besides searching around at your related searches on google, just set up a Google Alert and let the products come to you.  Instead of "Let your fingers do the walking", let Google do the crawling and leg work.  
It's extremely easy and works splendidly.  You'll find in time, you may refine the alerts more to your liking. 



 And then, there's another way. 
On the website called Bonanzle, you can ask for what you are looking for and real live people will bend over backwards to help you find your coveted piece.  Just post your request in the Items Wanted section and you'll see a quick set of responses and might even find something you didn't know you wanted. 

Then, there is the Alphabet Game (it's called a game), but it's a different shopping experience. 

On Bonanzle, every Tuesday and Thursday, there is a shopping excursion where store owners post their products by the Alphabet.  It makes shopping fun.  The Alphabet is hosted by granny7x aka Grannys Hope Chest .  If you can't be around during the 4 p.m., EST time slot, the archives are all available for an indetermined length of time.  It's fun and hilarious at times to shop there. 

A few of the past ABC's that were shopped till dropped around midnight:
They start with the letter A and go right through to Z.  If you are looking for a gift that begins with Q, it can be a little silly. 
Products are available, unless sold that night.
Check the lists for buying, selling or to see the crazies rambling fast and furious to
get their items up.

Bonanzle, let me count the ways to buy, sell and have fun

Bonanzle is the new ethical ecommerce site for sure.

Why? Oh, let me count the ways...to buy, sell and have fun at the same time.

Bonanzle is real people in real time helping other people, buyers and sellers, and sometimes onlookers. Where else can you talk instantly to people around the globe?

That’s one, but how about …?
Customer Service is king, marketers and successful business executives will continually emphasize. But, how many actually perform Customer Service with that philosophy at the core and top of the priority list? Who does this in ethical ways, continually and steadily?
Bonanzle, for real excels in superior service. Customer Service ethics are not lip service in this company. Find out for yourself. Visit the site, do your research, check them out, join, buy, sell and mingle with others on the forums. In in quick, real time order you will see Bonanzle is the future of ecommerce.
For instance, I’m a seller on Bonanzle, started in late October 2008. I have never had a question go unanswered from the staff, ever. The turnaround time is under 24 hours, a most respectable Customer Service time frame.
Well, remember the James Taylor song “You’ve got a friend…….”?
In part:
“You just call out my name,
And you know wherever I am
Ill come running, oh yeah baby
To see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall,
All you have to do is call
And Ill be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You’ve got a friend.”
James Taylor from You’ve Got a Friend

Bonanzle is like a really good friend. Dependable, reliable and always honest, Bonanzle delivers a new respect that fell out of fashion many years ago on the ecommerce circuit. In a way, Bonanzle is new and trendy with all the effective social networking capabilities of today, but reminds me of a good old-fashioned Mom and Pop store.

Bonanzle actually really listens to its customers, (both consumers and resellers). Imagine a place like that. Well now, that reminds me of another song from days gone by. Imagine by John Lennon. Ahh… Bonanzle maintains a peaceable culture and viable environment. Without draconian controls on its community members, Bonanzle garners respect for all and for the site. Creativity and personal
viewpoints are championed and encouraged.
The leadership at Bonanzle is in tune to the global economy as well as family values in an ecommerce arena!

If you’ve traveled to other countries or perhaps within your own country and you visit off the beaten path to where the locals go, you most often will encounter the authentic and true culture of that region. Visiting like the natives and locals, you get a flavor that is honest , real and learn to discover the good of humanity. This is Bonanzle to me. I feel as if I’m visiting a new and different culture that feels like home. The social aspects of twittering and facebook, other social network sites was an education to me. Next, I’ll probably have to configure it all to be displayed on an iphone! Oh, I have learned much and I thank Bonanzle for their generosity of spirit and all for one, one for all team spirit.

Okay, I’ll step down my cheerleading exercises for a bit!
From the owners’ impeccable leadership and insight, to the community members who go the extra mile to assist and help other folks, being on Bonanzle is a genuinely rewarding experience.
I’m enjoying success here on Bonanzle for all of the reasons above, but most importantly, I feel respected in a place where voices can be heard in an impartial environment for the buyer and seller. This is one more important tenet about Bonanzle. To graze in upon the fact that human nature can make one want to belong, be a part of, contribute to something bigger than oneself is an intangible that
brings Bonanzle to a family type philosophy.

There is something for everyone, literally here on Bonanzle.
If you want social networking, it is on Bonanzle.
If you want to buy, it is on Bonanzle.

For time constrained working people, you just want to get in, get out, and buy the product. You can, on Bonanzle, quick and easy no sign up required, direct buy! For me, I don’t have much time to spend chatting away, but I do interact on some forums when possible. You see, Bonanzle is just the comprehensive site for our time. Go on over there now and take a look.

Let me count the ways... I can't actually take a numbered approach yet or I'd be a google.

The Branding of Bonanzle


The Branding of Bonanzle is just around the corner.

Yesterday, Bonanzle reached another milestone with a million listings! Such a short time ago, six months perhaps the Bonanzle.com site was in the hearts and minds of a few hard working and dedicated few. Now, buyers are finding the unique and rare items they are looking for and sellers are realizing their full potential in rewarding sales, meaning cash in pocket, but even more so, testimonials to fully satisfied buyers. It's always a plus to satisfy the customer, after all the Customer is King and it seems Bonanzle delivers a hundred fold.

Today, I think starts the real branding of Bonanzle. My prediction is that it will be a household name for the general public in the United States as well as globally by the end of this calendar year.

We've only just begun.

Begin your Bonanzle experience today, visit some booths and experience some of the forum threads. In the forums I suspect you will be so pleasantly surprised by the congenial supportive and fun atmosphere. While you are there, you can be inspired by more experienced mentors, there are games to play and for those of you who like to win prizes, you can possibly win something. Bonanzle also offers some unique fast paced auctions that just crop up. It's a fun crazy time.

Some of us Bonanzlers are working on creating Welcome Wagon tips and tricks, some are working on endeavors beyond my scope, and there is always The Tech Tips which are very popular. Down the road, a buyer's tip sheet is in the works.

We are Bonanzle! A very spirited, lively, compassionate and honest venue for buying and selling that is ingenious, brilliant and it works. In today's economy, we all want clear and concise, honest down-to-earth good trading.
