Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif. (PRWEB) June 9, 2009 -- A single mother frustrated with dismal education funding has launched an auction and classified ads online shopping site that serves as a way for schools to receive needed money.
Categories include everything from free stuff to cars to used electronics
The free and low-cost advertising and selling site at www.mainstreetfair.com contributes a percentage of its income to schools sellers choose all across America.
"This is my version of a true education stimulus package in which people can participate and help schools, while benefiting themselves" said Lisa Porter, Main Street Fair CEO and the mother of an 11-year-old student in California's school system. "Schools throughout the country are hurting. Pertinent programs are being slashed. Classrooms are overcrowded. Education is suffering. Main Street Fair is the perfect solution to raising funds for schools by giving people a place to do what they like anyway--get rid stuff they don't want."
The easy-to-navigate website has categories for most everything, from free stuff to used electronics to cars.
Main Street Fair also gives college students a break: It doesn't charge to list books as a classified ad.
"It's difficult enough to deal with the rising cost of education," said Porter. "Main Street Fair presents a way for students to buy without the typical markups."
Companies can also promote themselves using Main Street Fair's banner ad program, which may be linked to their website. This in itself could increase their website traffic dramatically. Additionally, advertisers will have access to a detailed statistical report to monitor banner and text ads using real-time information. This comprehensive report includes the number of impressions, clicks and click through rate (CTR) to keep ads performing at their maximum potential.
Additionally, users may open an auction and classified storefront of their own using the Main Street Fair platform, while having their unique online address, design, logo, categories and much more. Unlike some auction sites, Main Street Fair is straightforward and simple-to-use. Even opening a storefront doesn't require additional training.
As customers benefit, so will education. The more the site is used for buying and selling, the more money the schools earn.
"Main Street Fair is starting on the ground floor and, over time, expects to generate significant ongoing revenue for schools," said Porter.
The company is headquartered in Rancho Santa Margarita. For more information on Main Street Fair, please call (877) 797-1998 or log on to www.mainstreetfair.com.
