Have vehicles to sell, or looking to recruit? Why not do it with routeone for only £1.85 per week

Established in March 2007, routeone Trader continues to evolve and still offers many possibilities for operators. Whether it’s selling a vehicle, or recruiting new staff – the various packages available offer a comprehensive, cost-effective, and most of all simple way to do it all.

With its structured display and categorisation of the vehicles available, routeone offers the best service available in the market – one in which you can feel confident that whether it’s a vehicle or recruitment advert, your message will be seen and reach the right people.

“Trader, it’s so easy and financially beneficial,” says Sham Javeed of Bristol-based Southwest Mini Buses.

“I’ve tried eBay and various other magazines and nothing compares. Trader works out to be superb value for money, plus the staff are really helpful too.”

With Trader, there are packages available to suit all needs and budgets. Prices start from as low as £99 for four weeks, up to £369 for an annual package.

The annual package represents a cost of just £1.85 per vehicle per week, and each vehicle supplied will not only appear in the pages of routeone but will also be replicated and hosted online at www.route-one.net/vehicles – the service could not be simpler.

What’s included

Trader offers five packages, from Trader Instant which allows you to feature one vehicle with a photo, both online and in print, for four consecutive weeks, and Trader3 which is for 13 consecutive weeks – through to the equally simple annual packages, which give you a variety of discounts and other benefits.

Trader Plus at £249 is the cheapest of the three annual packages. It offers two vehicle listings each with one photo, in routeone and online for two consecutive weeks, as well as two vehicle listings, each with one photo just online for two weeks; one online recruitment listing each week; half-price recruitment rates on printed adverts; and half-price print advertising in the vehicles and suppliers section.

The Trader Gold package comprises the same, but with four vehicle listings online and in routeone for two weeks each for just £319.

And for £369, the Trader Platinum package will give you the same as Gold, but each listing will have two photos – making your advert appear larger and feature both the interior and exterior of the vehicle.

Says David Cooke of Abacus Coaches: “I have sold a coach through routeone. The Trader Platinum package is excellent value and the process is simple. I will be selling more vehicles through routeone.”

All packages offer the optional addition of featuring any eight-33-seater vehicles in miniplus.

Saving money

Trader, whether or not you intend to sell a vehicle, can save you money in the long run.

“This is not just a vehicle sales package; we also give you half-price advertising rates throughout the magazine, including printed recruitment adverts and a free weekly online recruitment listing,” says Sales Executive Jade Gray.

For example, if you take out the Trader Plus package – the cheapest option that gives you half-price advertising – you could save £88.50 on a quarter-page advert featured in routeone, as well as having the opportunity to sell your vehicles throughout the year, then continue to enjoy half-price recruitment advertising for the rest of the year if required.

“It’s a no-brainer for operators to sign up to one of the annual packages, even if they have no vehicles to sell,” adds Jade.

Why join Trader?

“Overall, the Trader package is a cost-effective system that has been designed with the operator in mind,” Jade adds.

“It has proven success helping operators sell their vehicles with very little stress, and it’s now easier than ever for operators to advertise – we help to take away a lot of the admin associated with selling vehicles.”

There is a smooth system behind the running of Trader. Simply email your advert by 1600hrs on Monday to a dedicated email address. The routeone team then meticulously process each email ready for that week’s issue and online upload thus removing any additional stress from the operator. Once the vehicle/s has run its course, the operator will receive an email to remind them that the advert will no longer feature in the magazine.

All the operator needs to do is simply reply to the email or call to ask for it to be repeated. If the vehicle has already been sold, the operator can ignore the email – the advert will automatically be taken out of the system – it’s that simple.

The website is updated on a weekly basis, and you can call or email at any time the vehicle is sold to remove the advert.

Parnell Coaches Owner, Tim Parnell, says: “Trader is fantastic, the Platinum package is great value for money – you definitely have success with it.”

“The trader proposition sits at the very heart of what routeone’s all about,” says Daniel Lunn, routeone Sales Manager. “We simply look to service operators up and down the country with a product that is both affordable and useful. routeone has always tried to focus on what’s important and that’s simply serving the needs of bus and coach operators – no more no less; trader does all these things.

“If you aren’t a Trader member that’s no problem, as long as you are an operator you can still access routeone free of charge – Trader is simply there to use as and when you need it. It’s not a subscription to the magazine – it’s a product aimed to do one fundamental job, and that’s save you money.”

To sign up to Trader membership email trader@route-one.net or call Jade on 01733 405740.
