About
Our commitment
Local, everywhere!
Welcome to adbirds!
We developed adbirds as an owner-financed startup in Austin, Texas to serve consumer-resellers (people), businesses, charities and local organizations, and with an eco-benefit of shortest distance search results with our unique "get distance" fuel cost calculator. The “founder’s plan” is to operate this website as a business dedicated to fostering responsible stewardship and growth in every community we touch. Now adbirds facilitates map links to any location an item is located in every user category.
I like to shop online at great websites and stores, print out the ad with the best price, and take it to a local store to purchase the item. This way, local stores keep a relationship with the customer and money stays in my community. When local stores list their items on adbirds, we will do all we can to help encourage the practice of buying locally.
Our Austin based team developed the adbirds website as a tool for local buyers and sellers to find each other by shortest distance for any item or service listed by a seller. On adbirds you can list items and services for free, and share your ads safely with our timed, captcha protected contact tools. It's long been my goal to help millions of people save fuel when they opt to purchase an item in their own community, one quart, liter, or gallon at a time. This is the adbirds “green goal”, and our team developed the “get distance” fuel cost calculator so you know about what you will spend to reach your item by motor vehicle, and the distance in any case.Local retailers can play a big role in making the adbirds green goal a success by becoming Unlimited subscribers and listing all their items and services with our unique inventory uploader. It only takes minutes, and we will even configure a store’s spreadsheet for free upon request. When listing so many items, the store’s SEO rankings can improve vastly, while your listings help reduce air and water pollution.
Local micro - businesses can become Value subscribers and list up to 30 items with all the space needed for templates used by realtors and auto brokers, as well as embedded video.
Local organizations can set up Charity accounts to get the Value capabilities for free, and are encouraged to set up user groups, become affiliates, and have group fundraising drives using the adbirds website. We want to help organizations, so you can contact me directly with the Contact tab on every page header. By sharing your special affiliate coupon or link with local businesses, they can support you with their subscription while using our services. We will even help the business get started, so count on adbirds as your growth partner.
We also “network” ads for free across the social network!
Does anyone do more for free? We want to know and grow. Let me know if I can improve our service for you, for your community, and for your success.
Have a fantastic day, and thank you for advertising your items and services with Arte the adbird.
