kijiloquotree advances
A huge drop from Vivastreet Paris was the most remarkable event this week concerning numbers - the week kijiji bought loquo and gumtree. With this buyout it more and more heads to a real classified fight between two parties: kijiji the conquerer and craigslist, the champion. Its hard to see that Vivastreet, the only real third player left, has massive problems and lost 18% of its listings in just one week!
So lets have a short resumé of the fight (8 Rounds):
USA = Craiglist // Germany = Opusforum // France = Vivastreet // Spain = loquo (kijiji) // Canada = kijiji // China = kijiji // UK = gumtree (kijiji) // Italy = kijiji

I do not understand this?!? Within that short time since the launch of kijiji they are in some categories nearby the old player vivastreet. Is this the effect of massive marketing? Where is the loyality of the users?
We will see next friday how the things go. Germany and France remains very interesting markets. Spain and the UK are gone.
CU next classified friday!
