A brand-new way to reach skaters

Sell more skates and accessories, without the usual costs

No fighting Google for attention

On Google you bid against Amazon, big sports chains and marketplaces, and your ad sits beside everything else on the internet. On SkaterLocator there are no distractions: just skaters, skate sessions and your shop.

No commission. Ever.

Marketplaces and affiliate schemes take a cut of every sale, so the better you do, the more you pay. We charge one flat monthly price. Sell one pair or a hundred, it stays the same. We want you to succeed, not penalise you for it.

For exampleSell 10 pairs of £90 skates through a site taking 12% commission, and you hand over £108.With a SkaterLocator Nationwide banner it’s £49 for the whole month, however many you sell.

Skaters at the moment they need kit

Someone booking their first roller disco needs skates and pads. A regular trying outdoor sessions needs new wheels. A parent planning a birthday skate needs a helmet that fits. Your banner sits right beside the session they’re planning.

Local or nationwide, your choice

Bricks-and-mortar shop? Show your banner to skaters in your region, on the sessions near your door. Online shop? Go nationwide and reach skaters across the UK.

Simple, measurable, no strings

A fast-growing, skate-only community

Built for skaters, growing every week
