Dubizzle, a leading free classifieds website for users in the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) region, is now a part of the OLX global recognised network that reaches more than 200 million monthly active users and 25 million monthly listings.

Last week, dubizzle’s website and mobile app platforms started carrying a new message on the product that states ‘double is an OLX company,’ which appears underneath its logo, said a statement.

Abdallah Touqan, senior public relations and communications lead at dubizzle, said: "'dubizzle is an OLX company' means that we are aligned with our sister companies around the globe in terms of best practice and shared resources - enabling us to deliver the best user experience.

“While keeping the brand local. A great combination of global vs local that will definitely benefit the user.”

The site aimed at staying connected with and become part of the world’s leading network of online classifieds platforms, said the statement.

Millions of people around the world have already used OLX to sell their things within local communities in places like India, Brazil, Portugal and now the Middle East, it said.

"Now we can share information rapidly and exchange best practice with the other online classifieds platforms within the OLX global network. We believe that together we can accomplish much more than we would as entirely separate entities,” Touqan said.

"We will remain focused on creating the best user experience for our users to quickly and easily buy and sell their stuff. That's the business roadmap,” he added. - TradeArabia News Service
