Storat.com was open to any individual or business to post products and services for sales. Over the last few months, we have been transforming the platform to help local businesses with digital transformation, web-enabling their business, and driving leads online. Storat.com evolved from being a Classified website to a lead generation platform for small and medium businesses. As such we are making the following changes to Storat.com posting policy:
Storat.com posting will be open only to businesses with a valid trade license in the country of operation. Individuals will no longer be able to post ads in Storat.com except in properties and motors categories. All other categories including products, classifieds, education, health-care, financials, & travel will be exclusive to businesses. The change will be effective by end of February 2018. If you are an individual and have ads or content on Storat.com, please save it as your content will expire by end of February 2018. While Individuals can still post properties, cars, and motorcycles, we reserve the right to ask for proof of ownership to continue posting. Below is a frequently asked question about this change.
Why are you making this change?
Storat.com has evolved from being a classified site to a lead generation platform for businesses. We are investing in technology like Micro-sites, Call tracking, lead management, integrated CRM, promotional campaign system, and ecommerce. All those investments are geared toward businesses, not individuals. As a small Startup, this change will help us focus on the group of users that we can drive the highest level of value. Also, there are literally hundreds of free classifieds sites and social groups that individuals can post their used items for sale.
