On-line Bidding Given A New Boost At Reeman Dansie

Aug. 11, 2010 - PRLog -- One of East Anglia’s most respected and long-standing auctioneers, Reeman Dansie of Colchester, reports a significant increase in on-line bidding since the launch of its improved website this year.

‘We are delighted with our rebranding and new website which has definitely increased our customer base throughout the world,’ explains Reeman’s Senior Partner, James Grinter. As well as being delivered on budget and on time, the new website saw the numbers of registered on-line bidders more than double in the sale immediately following the website relaunch. Looking forward, Mr Grinter commented, ‘The increased business has continued to grow in our antiques and collectors’ sales so far this year and I am confident that it will continue to grow despite the recession.’

The rise of interest in auctions across the country, fuelled in part by the popularity of television programmes such as Flog It!, and in part by the recent recession, has brought buying at auction very much into mainstream public consciousness in recent years. In line with these and other changes in the market, Reeman Dansie decided the time was right to update its image and make its auctions accessible to as many people as possible.

The project has been masterminded by local marketing and design company, Mackman Group, of Sudbury. Company director, Paul Mackman, explained the concept behind the new website and company rebranding . ‘Reemans already had an enviably strong reputation amongst established antiques businesses and traders, particularly within this region, so we really concentrated on search engine optimisation to bring in new customers and online bidders, whilst also making the website attractive and easy to use for existing customers and for Reeman’s administrative purposes.’
