May. 01, 2013 14:23:30 PDT: Webstore now has over 100,000 active members! Webstore now has over 100,000 active members!
Let's add another zero to that. "Word of mouth" is very powerful, and now, with over 100,000 active Webstore members, we have the potential (and a great opportunity) to reach a huge audience simply by spreading the word about Webstore to friends, co-workers, family. If every Webstore member was able to sign up 10 people, our membership would reach 1 million in a very short amount of time. That would mean 10x current sales for sellers, and millions of additional items to choose from for buyers. Not to mention the continued growth that would be generated once new members get to talking.
As a company, we're doing everything we can to increase our user base, but it can't compare to what YOU can do as our members and supporters. Help spread the word with Youtube videos, Facebook/Twitter posts, Blogs, online Forums / Groups, and even offline by mentioning Webstore to people you know. Let everyone know to check Webstore first when looking to purchase online.
Send a note to customer support to let us know what you've done to help spread the word. Include pictures, videos, and/or links to your public post and receive a free gift.
