9th Anniversary Recap

Have your cake and eat it too

Our anniversary celebration is drawing to a close. We hope you enjoyed celebrating 9 years of Bonanza with us! In the words of Bonanza's CEO himself, our top goal is to provide the best experience for entrepreneurs among all marketplaces. We truly do appreciate our amazing, loyal sellers, and we're always striving to help your business thrive. Got feedback for us? We want to hear it! Head on over to the feedback forum and tell us your thoughts.

If you're reading this blog and thinking, "Wait a minute! I missed out on some of the details of this anniversary thing," don't worry. We're here to give you a TL;DR version of the Anniversary celebration. 

One-click marketing to drive repeat customers

Turning one-time customers into repeat buyers can be great for your sales. In an effort to reduce busywork for sellers, we created pre-made Customer Marketing Campaigns. Now, when you navigate to your marketing campaigns, you'll see a few pre-made options to select from. 

You can preview any campaign before you select it. Once you've chosen your campaign, you can alter any details you'd like, or simply publish the campaign as-is. Read more about it here.

Bonanza's best-kept secrets

At Bonanza, we're constantly adding features and making improvements to our site. Most of our major changes get announced (have you checked out your Yearly Sales Report yet?) but there have been lots of smaller updates that sellers are loving. Learn about our new Shopify Importer, item image editing capabilities in the Batch Editor, and much more. Check it out now!

An interview with the Big Boss

You asked, he answered. When our CEO isn't busy running Bonanza, he usually spends his time brainstorming how to make Bonanza better. And when he's not busy doing that, he's usually coming up with new ways to empower entrepreneurs, with the occasional marathon or pickup basketball game thrown in for good measure.

What prompted Bill to create Bonanza? What has he learned over the past 9 years? And will Bonanza ever charge sellers to own a booth? Read the answers to these questions, plus more.
