Welcome to Pikaba!

This is the very first issue of Pikaba Newsletter. We really want to thank you for visiting our website. Whether you published your own request or commented on others', we welcome you to the Pikaba family and hope Pikaba members will help you to find whatever you're looking for.

Why Pikaba?

We want to give you tools to make your shopping process easier. Let's say, you're shopping for a trip to Hawaii, but you have no clue which hotel to stay at. You can go to a bunch of sites and forums to search for hotel recommendations, and you'll find different opinions about them. You're still confused which one to choose and whom you should trust. But you forgot to ask a friend of yours that recently vacationed in Hawaii, and will be happy to share from her experience. The only thing - your friend didn't know you're shopping for a trip, and you didn't ask her. That's just one out of many examples where Pikaba.com can help - you can publish your request and share it with your friends - they do care about you once they know what you're looking for.

Featured Request 

elaine79, a Pikaba member, posted a request asking for a dining room sets to furnish her dining room. Immediately the member received a great offer from one of the Pikaba merchants.

Featured Merchant

Riderspassion has recently created a vendor account on Pikaba.

I published information about our motorcycle accessories on Pikaba. It feels like a cleaner, more professional Craig List. Worth a try by any vendor aimed to reach new customers and acquire leads. Their Motor Vehicles category has hundreds of requests and wanted ads related to auto parts, cars and trucks, both used and new

Tips and Tricks

Increasing your chances of getting the best possible offers on your request:

• Make the request as detailed as possible. If, let's say, you're looking for an auto part, you need to specify the car model, year, whether you're looking for a new or old, etc.
• Provide your contact information so that local merchants find your request.
• Add keywords / tags to your request.

Success Stories 

This is an attempt to properly thank you for your very helpful service! Some things that are heartfelt are extremely hard to thank some one for.....at least for me. My wife and I was completely burned out during the Dulzura/Barrett fire, our house, (a mobilehome), at Barrett Mobilehome Park, and my 1999 Wht. Ford Ranger Pickup was burned up. We was unable to get anything thing from our place other than the clothes we were wearing. We were out at the time of the fire and when we attempted to go back home they would not let us through. I posted a few requests on Pikaba and now I have it. God Bless. You Always,

- Richard, CA

Thank you so much. This place is wonderful I never heard of it before. I am not one to ask for things I am always the one who gives to others and I love to help people out. I am a single mother of three and I just lost my main job the check that pays my rent I am in a panic over this loss. You are an angel. Again thanks!
