Join us - Marketing your business on Trocadero, starting from only $24 per month

Now you can begin selling on Trocadero from $24 per month with our introductory Business level account. Use it to set up and get started at less cost before upgrading. But there is no hurry: Stay at the Business level as long as you need. Or hover at the Business level when you are on vacation or otherwise less active.

A shop on Trocadero reaches a qualified market for antiques, art and collectibles. Cross promote your gallery presence, trade shows, social media and other online activities or home business with a Trocadero shop. And now reach more shoppers, more often with a mobile-friendly catalog and exposure in Google Shopping for qualifying listings. Sell from our specialized categories to visitors looking for what you are offering.

Three levels of service are now available - Enterprise, E-Commerce or Business. Listings from Enterprise members and E-Commerce members appear together in venue category pages. Listings from Business accounts appear later in more active venue category pages as they begin showing a day after added (but right away in the member's own catalog.) An account may have up to 400 listings before extra listing costs apply ($8 per additional block of 100 listings).

All account levels enjoy free support (for account setup, e-commerce, social media, and all else), a personalized catalog, participation in Trocadero category pages, catalog management features, shopping cart, ability to accept credit cards through your PayPal or Authorize.net account, statistics, search engine optimization, e-mail marketing to your opt-in customer list.

* Accounts will be billed one month's service upon activation. Partial months will be credited with the next month's invoice. At least thirty (30) days notice is required to end services.

Social Media

Whether you sell from your Trocadero shop or close sales off venue, start a conversation with Trocadero visitors. We now support interface with leading social network sites to facilitate marketing conversations and development of your social media presence. We also provide a blog feature, integrated with your Trocadero shop and with venue category pages, in support of your Web 2.0 strategy. A dedicated social media team member is available to provide guidance.

Visibility

Reaching shoppers on Trocadero is most directly accomplished by listing items for sale. As most recently added items appear earlier in category pages, listing regularly in diversified categories enhances visibility. Other options are available to supplement visibility. Sticky listings, which appear persistently atop category pages may be purchased. Spotlight advertising is available to promote brand in category pages. Some free options to help with visibility in category pages are available including one free unillustrated Spotlight ad, "press release" announcements and blog entries.

Most recent listings from Enterprise members are used to illustrate our home and entry pages to main categories. This gives Enterprise member more exposure particularly in our recently developed smartphone-friendly pages. We also list Enterprise members ahead of E-Commerce members in alphabetical and category indexes of members. And Enterprise members are listed on the entry page to member indexes.

Other Services

Optional domain name resolution to your Trocadero homepage and catalog is among other services listed from http://www.trocadero.com/services including design work, custom "Signature" sites and more.

We support interface of our commerce features with your Authorize.net gateway account for real time online credit card transactions. If you don't have an Authorize.net gateway account, we can provide you with an application. If you don't feel you need an Authorize.net gateway account or do not have your own merchant services account, we also support interface to complete credit card transactions to your PayPal account (shoppers don't need to be a PayPal member to purchase by credit card through PayPal.) We upload a feed daily to Google Shopping for members with items interfaced for real time online transactions. Dedicated commerce support is available to members.
