Everybody has lingered at some time outside the window of the local newsagent's, scanning the cards - items for sale, tradespeople offering their services, local events going on - and we’ve all probably acted on those little ads, perhaps more so than on any other form of classified advertising.
Why? Because of course you can simply nip around the corner to view something for sale. Somebody can be with you to discuss a service or job within a couple of hours and it is all so very local and convenient.
So that was the idea of Cards In The Window really. To combine the power of the Internet with the personal touch of the postcard in the shop window, so that instead of having a card on display in one newsagent’s window you can have the same card in the equivalent of all the newsagents' in your area.
On top of that we provide a forum area where you can ask for recommendations and chat about local neighbourhood issues, plus an area for local events and notices. We hope that overall we are providing a real community-building service.
We want to keep it all very neighbourly and democratic and so we will monitor things carefully with the help of our users.
We hope you enjoy using this service - please let us have any feedback or ideas to help us improve it still further.
