for a place where the local community within a
city could come together, meet, trade and help
each other in many ways.

consumer (C2C) model as well as the business to
consumer (B2C) model, both of which work very well

There are two different ways of looking at this
business; one is the media business, where you

Second is where you get a little closer to the

That’s when you start looking at featured listings or

Now Quikr is drawing over half of its revenue from
premium listing & lead generation for businesses.
