What is retrosellers?
retrosellers is a website which provides a 'one-stop' portal/directory
of all the best nostalgia and retro businesses around the world.
But we aim to be much more than a directory. We will provide
articles, news and information on all aspects of retro and nostalgia,
from hints on collecting rare vinyl to a day in the life of
a tribute band, from avoiding fake autographs to finding the
best nostalgia holiday locations.
We will also provide the over 50s with
discounts, offers, deals and special packages of interest to
them.
How did retrosellers come about?
On January 1st 1962, Dick Rowe, Head of Decca Records
UK, auditioned the Beatles but turned them down, signing the
Tremeloes instead. WHOOPS!
Decades later, we all know better than poor old Dick; and,
in recent times, the interest in all things nostalgic and retrospective
has exploded into a thriving worldwide industry. Whether you're
selling music, fashion, books, furniture, cars or celebrity
material, there is an avid target market out there, ranging
from the original trend-setters to their children (and grandchildren!).
History is famously known to repeat itself, especially if it's
wearing platform shoes, drainpipe trousers or a feather boa.
Forty years after Dick's historic bloomer, 2002 saw the launch
of retrosellers.com. The site serves as a 'one-stop' portal/directory
of all the best nostalgia and retro businesses around the world.
retrosellers.com is the brainchild of David Barnes, creator
of the renowned 1960s British Pop Culture website which was Yahoo's 'Pick of the Week' in 2001 and of which America's
Entertainment Weekly wrote: ""Shagadelic" doesn't
even begin to describe this Union Jack-filled tribute to swinging
London and the British Invasion….Yeah, baby!" Of the
hundreds of e-mails David has received on a monthly basis, most
have been seeking information, especially on product relating
to the 'sixties and to the preceding and following decades.
The volume of enquiries pointed to an urgent need for a custom-made
site to bring enthusiastic buyers and specialist retailers together.
How much does retrosellers cost to use?
To use the site is free to everyone. To include a business in
the directory is also free. There are other options available, such as banners
and special business reviews, to make your business stand out
on the site.
What does retrosellers contain?
Links to various retro and nostalgia businesses around the world
including all contact details and brief descriptions. Over time
the site will include reviews of these businesses and articles/features
of interest to nostalgia and retro buffs.
We are also building a members area where
discounts and offers for the over 50s will be available.
How do I advertise on retrosellers?
The site can accommodate banners on each page. We can also do
advertising features on businesses. For details, please contact
us directly. Here are some examples
of the kinds of Spotlight features we have done for retailers
