"Why Classifieds Work"
by Kevin Nunley
There are boat loads of statistics on why TV and newspaper advertising works. But have you
ever considered why so many people consistently market with
classified ads?
No question about it, classifieds are affordable. But there are other reasons.
Classifieds are more targeted than many forms of big media. Only people interested in
cameras study the photography classifieds.
Classifieds don't have to be cute or clever. Simple, clear, direct phrases get the best
response.
Classifieds are a great place to test out a new product or idea without having to risk a
lot of money.
The downside of classifieds is your ad is nestled in with many others. Make sure you have
an attention-getting headline, even if it is just two or three words long.
Put your headline in all capitals or in bold print. For Internet classifieds, avoid
starting your headline or subject line with the word "FREE." So many other ads
start with
FREE that your ad can get lost in the crowd.
