Blastifieds is excited to announce the launch of its student-to-student online marketplace, starting at CNU (i.e., Christopher Newport University, located in Newport News, VA).
CNU posts an attractively large student base with 4,500+ full-time students, along with its commitment to academic excellence. The university offers the perfect sized community for a Blastifieds site.
Since Blastifieds is located just outside of Williamsburg, VA and has local alumni ties to CNU, the decision to launch at CNU first was an easy one.
In addition to CNU, Blastifieds is also launching at other Virginia colleges, such as William & Mary, Virginia Tech, Liberty University, George Mason, and VCU (Virginia Commonwealth University).
Blastifieds has made recent changes to ensure their website is more "hyper-local". This means that Blastifieds is setup to make it easy to do business with other students in their same vicinity.
What about trades?
Think back as a kid, there were always "school-yard trades" that would happen. As you progressed through school though, trading tended to decrease the older you got. With Blastifieds, we hope to change that. Here, you can list items to sell, and if you don't receive an acceptable offer you can just hold off to see what kind of trade deals you receive.
People are always looking to "trade-up" and Blastifieds may just be just the platform to help you get started doing so.
