A membership is so much more than a traditional phone book listing, and look at the price compared to a yellow pages advert! Memberships are available for antique shops, secondhand shops, charity upshots and auction houses. Memberships apply to shops, not individuals.

Your Listing Page

With a fully detailed listing, shoppers can research any time of day or night or on the street around the corner looking for your front door. They want to know if you sell what they're looking for? Do you buy or accept donations? Are you open today? Are you still in business? How to contact you? Do you still have that wonderful thing I saw there yesterday? I changed my mind, I must have it, how can I pay and will you post it to me?

Search Results

Being seen in search results is the first step to attracting more customers from Treasure Hunting. To make sure you're seen as often as possible to the right customers you need to do these things:

  • Get a great photo of your shop front
  • Pick the right categories that match the things you mainly sell
  • Use lots of keywords in your description
  • Upload an icon or your full logo – it makes the map pin stand out from the rest​

Header Photo

The header photo should show the entrance to your shop, not the lovely things inside or your logo. This is treasure hunting after all. When treasure hunters search this directory they imagine where they're going before committing to making the trip. When they see your header image of your shop front they will either recognise it or bank it in their memory to identify it when they arrive later.
When you step outside to take this photo, go across the road and make it as wide as you can. Try to line up the important details like sign-writing in the middle third of the photo because the top and bottom will be cropped off on the search results page and even more on your listing page.

The online form will walk you through ALL the detail you need to add about your shop or auction including uploading photos and logos. Complete as much as you can to begin with, you can always come back later to edit your listing to add more or update anything. If you have any problems with this step, call Kirsten on 021066083
Or You may like to opt to have this step managed for you.

Do it for me

enjoy more customers

Reach More Customers

We know how and where to find new customers that match your store. Compare our prices to advertising in the phone book or newspaper. These forums have dwindling reach and are very limited in how much detail they can include.

Happy Customers

Get happy customers before they walk in the door by managing their expectations. People can find everything they need to know about your place on your listing. Happy customers return again, often with friends

Information Centre

Treasure Hunters hardly ever visit just one shop, they want multiple locations to peruse. This directory is the hub for everything they want to know about all the places they want to treasure hunt. Can they include your shop in their round trip?

Map Location

With a map, Treasure Hunters can easily plan how and when they will include a stop at your place on their trip. Stand out on the map with your logo instead of the default rocking horse by upgrading a FULL listing on the standard or stand-out membership.

Open Hours

It's impossible to memorise the unusual open hours of all the shops and auctions. Disappointed customers who found your closed sign when they made the effort to come, rarely return to try again. Don't disappoint them, let them know when you're open.

Travellers

A printed version of this directory is available at information centres and shops like yours for treasure hunters to discover your shop too. Don't rely on local knowledge, memories fade. Reach travellers enjoying a day of local curiosities.

Performance

Monitor the performance of your listing(s). How many people view your listing daily, weekly, monthly? Are they using their mobile devices on the go or desktops before heading out?

No Adverts

Other directory websites are funded by adverts that blink and glitz to distract viewers. It looks cheap and nasty and it's irritating. We're not going to do that to your customers.

Marketing

No matter what type of customer you have, we'll find them for you; students, bargain hunters, antique collectors, tourists, interior designers, generous donors, frugal budgeters...

 TREASURE HUNTERS

You find the treasures, we'll find the hunters to buy them
