Previously a paper in the classified ads market, Exchange and Mart is now a solely online entity and one of the most popular classified websites in the UK. People mostly buy and sell vehicles with Exchange and Mart and discount vouchers bring down the advertisement fee.
Exchange and Mart mainly attracts car buyers and sellers, though commercial vehicles, bikes and scooters, and caravans and motor homes are also traded, along with spare parts and accessories. Sellers pay a relatively small amount to get their vehicle seen by a potential million viewers and the registering process is quick and straightforward.
Exchange and Mart was previously a paper, though its popularity declined after the rise of the internet brought about new competitors, such as Craigslist. Newsquest bought Exchange and Mart in 2005 for around £50 million, along with some other publications; it is today one of the largest publishers of local and regional newspapers in UK.
As a result, Exchange and Mart had its last print in 2007 and is now fully online at exchangeandmart.co.uk, complete with discount codes. This set up is much more flexible than the physicality of a clumsy paper version, and buyers can quickly pinpoint what they want and how much they want to spend without flicking through reams of pages.
Private ads start from around £5 and there are ways to have your ad appear as a special to better attract potential buyers. There are well over 100,000 cars listed per month with Exchange and Mart, and discount voucher options may include deals on quotes and rates for bigger ads.
