Sell Your Products Through Free Online Classified Ads

Tuesday, September 17, 2013


The benefits of free online classified ads are overlooked by a lot of internet marketers because many people don’t realize the value they can get from these ads. In order to master the art of posting classified ads, you need to analyze them properly and understand various factors that will help you get better results. Last winter I sold off my bike through classified ads and I realized there is a lot to learn before you post your ad. There are a lot of things I came across and I will share some of the most important ones here: 

 

  • The first and the most important thing is to work on the headline to get effective results. When I was writing an ad for my bike, I did some research online and realized there were hundreds of ads that were there already. So you need something really unique to grab the attention. 
     
  • Secondly, you should know the right category where you need to post your ad. I saw a lot of bloopers online where people had posted ads under the wrong sections. It is really important to post them under the right sections if you want to reach the right audience. 
     
  • The success of your ad depends upon how your ad is being presented. Therefore, formatting of your advertisement is very important. You should make sure that your free online classified ads are formatted correctly and should stick to the guidelines of the classified website. A well presented ad will increase your chances of a sale.

You should pay attention to all the small details when you write an ad. Except the above mentioned points, it is always good to add an image of your product/service and use crisp and strong words. Also, ensure that you mention your contact details where interested people can contact you and the details/price of your services. So next time when you have to sell something, consider using online classified ads as they reach more people than any other mode and they are easy to use.

Sell Furniture Through Local Classified Ads

Thursday, September 12, 2013


Until recently, a lot of people only knew about local classified ads in newspapers or magazines, but the internet has definitely changed everyone’s perception of advertising. Unlike newspapers, where there was a lot of investment required to post ads, now you can post free ads online. You can post advertisements about anything and everything and since they are so popular, I decided to try them as well when we moved someplace else last summer. 

Last summer, my parents and I moved to Illinois from California and since we were moving into a fully furnished house – there was a lot of furniture that we wanted to sell. We decided to post free ads for furniture we wanted to sell and even if it was our first time- it went pretty well for us and we got a good deal for our stuff. I read a few tips before posting local classified ads that I am going to share here:
  1. Write a good title: 

    Title should entice readers to buy your product or service. In our case, writing – ‘furniture for sale’ would have been really boring. So we decided to add the kind of furniture we wanted to sell. You have to make it interesting and apt. 
     
  2. Description: 

     It should be to the point and make sure you mention everything a reader might want to know, such as –details for your product/service, price and your contact details. 
     
  3. Post a photo: 

    A picture can make a huge impact in your ad. Post an attractive picture whenever you can, it increases the chances of a sale. 
     
  4. Hidden costs: 
    For instance, we were selling a sofa set for $20,000. Now a buyer won’t like it if he has to pay some extra money just because he is not a US citizen. So make sure you mention breakdown of the cost whenever possible.
These were a few tips that I think are really important to write local classified ads and of course, you have to be concise. Do not try to make stories when you post free ads. Keep them short, crisp and interesting. It should be attractive and encourage readers to go through all of it.

Friday, September 6, 2013


There was a time when I was paying a lot of money to the newspapers to publish my ads for products that I wanted to sell. This was back then when the newspaper was the only source of buy/ selling products or for making any sort of announcements.

Free online classifiedads are a great platform for marketing new businesses or making announcements for your products and services. No matter what you want to sell, this is certainly the easiest and the fastest promotional tool for any kind of products and services. However, there are a few tips that I would like to share that are important to get most of the classified ads. And here they are –

  • I’m pretty sure you want people to check your advertisement in the first go. Don’t you? Well that is most likely to happen in cases where you come up with attractive headlines and title for your ad. Attractive title is a must!!

  • Trust me no one will give a second thought to your ad if it doesn’t look attractive or look like just the rest! It has to be something different. Design plays a very important role in successful ad. So spend time on presentation.

  • While writing information about your product or service for a classified ad, make sure it is to the point. Clear, crisp and short copy – that’s how it is supposed to be! Don’t overkill the description. 
     
  • The last and the most important part are to place it under the right category. I wonder how people can go wrong with this! All your efforts will be wasted if you don’t put it in the right section.

So that’s pretty much about it I guess! There are a lot of factors that one should take care of, but these are the most important parts of free online classified ads.

The separate capsule enclosing the words “Tell a friend” on classified portals enables marketers to promote their promotions resourcefully. Running a business grabs you the opportunity to bag maximum email addresses of potential buyers and purchasing influencers. Hatching sales on such databases can remarkably increase turnover.
Spreading the word about online advertisements becomes challenging after you post free ads, but again it is not impossible. “Tell a friend” is one of the self perceived method to do it; the marketer just needs to feed the email address into the form and the advertisement is all ready to travel. There is no pre-requisite to take advantage of this feature as it does not require you to even register with the classified portal. The good number of email ids would be an add-on advantage to endorse such ads. To just post free classified ads and overlooking the endorsement may neutralize its impact.
Benefits of “Tell a friend” Feature
  • Personalized – The valuable city deal in the email would be admired by readers in their mail box. It adds a personal touch to the marketing strategy as the potential customer feels associated with your brand.
  • Contagious – If one of the readers like it, then she/he would definitely refer the advertisement to their friends. The marketer needs to post free classified ads for once & then these go viral like this.
  • Convenient – It does not take much effort to refer the advertisement to potential buyers or friends as a marketer needs to fill the name and email address, that’s it.
  • Targeted – The personalized emails are more targeted as these reach only desired users not the mass.
  • Not only you but anyone – He is not only the marketer who can refer the advertisement to a friend, but any visitor can do that provided he likes the advertisement.
Hey Guys, always share good deals posted on classified portals with your friends to even allow them to take advantage of those. Happy Marketing!
