Stephen & Martin going for a spin

February is charity month in DoneDeal. This month we support Ard Aoibhinn. They do fantastic work for families and people with intellectual disabilities.

The photo on right shows Stephen & Martin going for a spin on the centre’s bicycles. The new bikes are a great way to get around town in the fresh air, instead of always using the bus.

The centre is run by 80 professional staff ranging from student nurses, social care students, speech therapists, physiotherapists, psychologists, and many more.

The team in Ard Aoibhinn provide pre-school activities, residential services, respit services, activation, and much more.

Video is a big thing these days. We share them on facebook, use them to find information, take them quickly and easily even from our phones.

The difference a video can make to your DoneDeal ad is simply HUGE!

It’s your way of letting potential buyer have a proper look at your item for sale so they can pretty much have made up their mind before they even meet you, saving loadsa time for you the seller!

Elaine has put together a How To article to help you make your ad stand out with video.

We are delighted to announce that our Android App has finally landed and is ready for a spin! The DoneDeal Android App gives you a customised experience for all Android phones where DoneDealers can keep up to date with the latest deals while on the go!

It was important to us that we delivered an app that had lots of features, and at the same really easy to use so that all you DoneDealers would find it just as good as the website. We hope we have achieved that.

You can search all sections, refine your search by location, price and all the rest. If there is something you would really like to see in the next version of the App, please let us know by sending feedback or leaving a comment below.
