Junk Mail partnership supercharges Mxit's classified ads platform
"The number of ads placed on Junk Mail Xchange (JMX), the reinvigorated Mxit classified  platform powered by Junk Mail, has doubled in just four months," says Junk Mail MD Felix Erken.
JMX is fully integrated with Junk Mail's web site and mobile site, with all of the sites sharing the same database. "No matter what medium our users prefer, they all now have equal access to South Africa's largest classified ads database," says Erken.
What distinguishes the Mxit classified users from those on other channels is their high level of interaction and engagement says Erken. "In November alone, three million Mxit users placed an ad or sent a message on JMX; we're averaging 20,000 responses a day."
