Geoli.st invents automatic classified creation on mobile, start selling in 10 seconds…

A great number of classifieds applications for smartphones only use the navigation and interface from the websites they came from. Ebay classifieds, OLX, and others use interfaces directly inherited from the web without using the power of smartphones.

Writing texts or descriptions on a portable phone is often difficult; navigation among dozens of screens is tedious.

Geoli.st is building for and empowering the mobile phone customer – creating, not an extension of existing mediums, but rather a new Mobile-centric one.

Geoli.st version 2 offers semi-automatic, geo-localized classified creation. In just a few seconds you can create and broadcast your classified:

Geoli.st reinvents the free classifieds distribution model

The central idea that guided the development of this application was to evolve the distribution model for free classifieds.

Often listed in columns in the traditional press, online classifieds services quickly benefited from the power of search and the interactivity of the Internet. The success of services such as Craiglist and Ebay classifieds transformed and popularized access to good deals.

The arrival of the portable telephone will enable the expansion of the distribution model, which has been fixed for 200 years, thanks to GPS localization or GSM triangulation. It will be possible to be near places where one can find interesting deals for consumption or to discover in real time.

This distribution model is characterized by a localized base of classifieds that adapts to a geographic, social and cultural micro environment.

In addition to geolocalization, the social dimension allows the publication of one’s offer on networks such as Facebook and Twitter, finding an instantaneous and qualified audience.

This service therefore corresponds very well to traditional needs and consumption habits, favoring local human contact which had practically disappeared from the web.

This application is available for free download from the App store, and covers the US, UK and Canada in terms of content. French and multilingual versions will be implemented in the near future.

Geoli.st announces the launch of its Iphone application

Geoli.st: Classifieds go Location-based and Social

Geoli.st announces the launch of its Iphone application, downloadable for free from the Apple App Store.

Geoli.st offers now several million classifieds as well as geo-localized coupons in the United States, Canada and England; free classifieds are geo-localized and linked to major social networks.

Both businesses and individuals can use this application, which is available on the Iphone. The concept is simple - take one or several photos with your Smartphone and post your items on the Geoli.st network within seconds. You can also purchase items easily by viewing classifieds located near you.

For businesses, this means that L-commerce (LBC or Location Based Commerce) is here!  L-commerce relies on the geographic localization of consumers - an innovative and free way to attract clients that are located near traditional businesses. Offers arrive in notification mode based on personalized criteria or on a map showing points of interest in real time.

Real Estate, job offers, products and services…. with Geoli.st there are as many possibilities for buying as selling, offering a direct way to carry out commercial transactions in the real world. What’s more, a dedicated Geoli.st social network allows users to communicate and share information about offers or items for sale with communities or groups of friends or clients.

Geo-Social networking finds what you need - faster and closer to home

The lines between organic search and social networking – especially when enhanced with a geolocalised, “what’s near me” service – are getting blurrier all the time.  More and more social networks are rivaling the traffic that search engines receive.  

Social search and receive (via automatic notifications of pre-selected categories) is proving to deliver the goods and information users want faster and better. Looking for the best deal on a new computer or a supplier for a new project? Your organic search results will require time to sort through and validate the relevance and quality of the links found. 

Send out the same request to your social network – especially if it’s linked to a geolocalised notification service and bingo! You have not only a pre-validated recommendation – but one that is located right next to you!

[geolist-blog]

Why going social is good for business

For customers and businesses alike – the addition of a social aspect to any location-based product or service is clearly an advantage. The ability to connect and market based on intimacy and location is extremely powerful. 

Anyone already using a socially linked location-based product or service knows that exchanging ideas can be more fruitful than solitary reflection. And businesses are realizing that, more and more, customers trust each other more than they trust the media or advertising.

The growing appeal for customers receiving information via a location-based social network is the shared experience of peers and advertising relevant to their needs.  And businesses are benefiting from tighter bonds with their customers, leading to increased customer loyalty and sales opportunities.

So don’t shy away from the prospect of adding or using a social network as part of a product or service. Given the new levels of value it brings overall – you should, instead, embrace it.

Glocal advertising in your pocket

While you are in town around lunch time, you hear a beep. Is it your mother sending you a text message? Is it another alert informing you about the latest sports results? No. It’s an offer that arrives just at the right time, as long as you like hamburgers.

You have received this coupon because you were geo localized near a business offering a promotion for two cheeseburgers for the price of one, and the business is only 200 yards from where you are. The coupon is in your Smartphone; you just need to go to where the promotion is being offered and eat the two cheeseburgers. A check-in with the business will give you the right to a free drink. WOW!

For this to happen, you must have an application that pushes this kind of information directly to your telephone, using the multitasking of the los4 and Google’s Android, and agree to receive and personalize these alerts.

A revolution ? Without a doubt; because in this case it is not a question of unavoidable or non-solicited promotions. You can respond to them minutes after receiving them or store them in a list of favorites to benefit from them at another time.

Geolocation services that mean business

Years ago, GPS revolutionized the way people navigate the world. Today, geo-location services are transforming the way we explore our own neighborhood – and giving customers real value in return.

Once linked into the right geo localized service, a walk through your neighborhood can pay dividends; special discounts, notifications of products or services you are looking, customized promotions, even information about real estate and jobs.  With these intelligent and structured geo localized services, the user experience is intimate, relevant and very easy to use.

As more and more customers are discovering, the experience and value offered by geo localized services of this kind is like a new kind of adventure in which the virtual and real worlds converge.

[geolist-blog]

How to reap the benefits of telling the world where you are

As location-based services become more focused on offering true value to users, the benefits of disclosing your locations are growing.  More and more businesses are offering coupons and discounts that are available to people using these services - becoming like virtual loyalty cards for participating customers.

Of particular interest to customers who have taken the step to check-in with services offering true value, as opposed to the gaming check-in services, is that the offers received are well targeted - both in terms of content, and of course, location. The relevance and utility of these kinds of offers is a powerful incentive to come out of hiding and let businesses know when you are nearby.

As location-based services become larger and more numerous, this will be true of ever more categories of local spending. So relax, check-in, and start saving money.

[geolist-blog]

Geoli.st, an intelligent Check-in tool

Geoli.st is a second generation application that makes check-in useful and intelligent. After Foursquare, Gowalla, Loopt and others, Geoli.st offers a structured approach to geolocation with a system of categories and classified linked to their position.

A check-in on Geoli.st is nothing other than a classified that assumes multiply forms, from a comment on a restaurant, to a search for a dating partner, to sale offers from private individuals or businesses.

Geoli.st’s social network allows users to build lists of clients who are interested in offers or coupons from local businesses that prepare specific promotions for those who have registered. This is a kind of automatic loyalty program managed by the application itself. In addition to coupons, these tools can serve to manage client relations, e-reputation, and ads for special events.

Geoli.st thus fills the missing links between the Internet and the real world. Attracted by the mobile Internet, bystanders walking near their street front business is a yet to be realized dream for business owners.
