I want to be Quicker..With Quikr NXT

'What is going to happen with this now'-asked my mom pointing towards the old cassette player that nobody was using at home since we had all switched to CDs and DVDs and now even they were lying unused since everything was in MP3 format on our phones!

'And this..and this!'-continued my mom pointing at old camera that we longer used since our smartphones were equipped with all the phone taking technology we needed in our everyday lives! And then those bulky old books that I never read anymore since I have switched to e-books!

Well,this was my annual pre-new year cleaning day-one day before the new year I go ahead and clean my whole room as some kind of pagan offering to the universe saying, 'Look, I know it is a new year tomorrow and I am starting this new year with a new slate and a clean room, now are you happy and can I please go on a date with Leonardo di Caprio this year?'

But I digress.

So there I was,cleaning my room and looking at the increasing mound of unused appliances, books, clothes and knick-knacks that were simply using up precious space in this home of ours that is already low on space!

What to do now,what to do, I was tapping my head for a solution to the problem all through the day.

Then,suddenly,it seems that the universe heard my plea and sent me a date with Leonardo..err..no it heard my plea on what to do with the unused stuff and sent me an ad for Quikr  where I could easily sell my unused or rather, used, items easily.

Umm,but how would it work? Really, think about it-I go on a website, I put up an ad about things I want to sell, and then obviously I would have to give my personal details like my phone number to enable interested buyers to contact me, right? 

Well, not anymore! With Quikr NXT I can simply negate the need of giving my phone numbers to strangers! Ta-da,the solution to all my predicaments is here-

First, I was worried how to give my personal number on a website-knowing fully well the kind of people that lurk online! There are many stalkers, perverts and criminals who can easily take anyone's private details and use them in achieving their own conceited, criminal, disgusting aims. I do not want to fall prey to such people. Quikr NXT helps me do just that by gleaning out all the unwanted elements from my contact pool!

Second, I am a woman, trust me, when I say this, being a woman is hard stuff. We need to be like ninjas all the time. I have seen some friends of mine being harassed and stalked for no fault at all (like being a victim of any crime could ever be the victims' fault!) simply because some 'romeo' got a hold of their phone number. Why only 'romeos', there are plenty of prank callers who simply get some kind of weird satisfaction giving 10,000 prank calls, missed calls, 'wrong number' kind of calls, especially to womenfolk everyday, Who wants to be at the receiving end of these? Quikr NXT understands this better than most people and brands out there!

Finally, I am also a busy woman. Like every human out here in the 21st century, I am involved in multi-tasking every minute of every day and I simply do not want to schedule my life around an ad on a website for selling my used items. I am in conferences, meetings, talking with friends and family, spending some quality time with loved ones and yes I do dedicate a small portion to doing some official work which is when I decide to take calls, read official emails and Quikr NXT gives me the liberty to chat with interested buyers when I decide,as per my convenience thus making it all about me-which gives me so much satisfaction, I don't think English language has enough words to describe that!

Oh,and I get to use it on my laptop, my cell phone which just makes convenient technological integration a wonderfully viable part of my life.

So what NXT? :) I have already put up ads for all my used items (lying unused right now) on Quikr NXT and guess what,in past 10 hours alone, I have got more than 15 interested messages which I am replying to according to my own convenience and I have never been happier. This surely is a revolutionary step in India's online classified market and something I am personally going to use a lot in coming days,months and years.
