Comments on: Boso making ripples http://www.reachstudents.co.uk/blog/2006/12/15/boso-making-ripples/ Digital student marketing in the UK Mon, 26 Jul 2010 17:36:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: S Mann http://www.reachstudents.co.uk/blog/2006/12/15/boso-making-ripples/comment-page-1/#comment-16 S Mann Sat, 03 Feb 2007 19:31:11 +0000 http://d405061.u28.strictlywebhosting.com/blog/2006/12/15/boso-making-ripples/#comment-16 This site is overrated. From the 'latest items' list on the front page, I've approximated they get 1 new item listed for sale a day. A lot of the items for sale also seem like spam to me, particularly the ones advertising mobile phones. I also find the Ebay comparisons quite ridiculous, a closer competitor would be a website like Gumtree or even internal university websites which usually have 'for sale' noticeboards. Marketing will get a business only so far, I sadly predict Boso will not be around within the next year. This site is overrated.
