Online auctioneer courts SOHO market

Article Abstract:

Onsale Inc., a Menlo Park, CA-based online auctioneer, has rolled out an Internet banner advertising campaign on 25 major sites targeting small-business owners. Despite that the segment only covers 20% of Onsale's database of registered bidders, it accounts for two thirds of the company's revenue. The company believes that its services, such as the ability to store credit card numbers and maximum bids and shipping details, will be particularly attractive to small-business owners. Automatic e-mail notices also help inform small-business owners when products go up for bid. Onsale's business-to-business campaign has been luring about 1.5% click-through rates so far.
