(Omaha, NE) The Integrated Marketing Firm – IM3 announced today that it has integrated uShip’s online freight estimating system into the UsedSpaLot.com platform. “We found that buyers of Used Hot Tubs would be interested in buying hot tubs from around the country if they could quickly determine what it would cost to ship it”, said Dave Frakes, CEO of IM3 Inc..
“uShip has been great to work with” says Nick Ashley director of SEO & SEM for IM3, “and the integration has been seamless”. “Now we can take the item setup information and pre-populate the key information a buyer would need to get an estimate, all the buyer needs to do it just enter their zip-code to receive an immediate estimate”, said Ashley.
“This is a real WIN/WIN. The buyer controls the shipping process and pays the actual shipping cost – while the seller can just move the used tub and get back to business”, Frakes said.
In addition to uShip – UsedSpaLot.com will soon add links to receive a list of Extended Warranty Providers, Water Care Expert locator and Service/Installation locators. “We are very excited about the progress of UsedSpaLot.com”
, Frakes said. “Our only challenge has been getting enough hot tubs on the site. Everyone that has been posted has sold – now we have emails adding up from people making specific requests.”
