Today
there are several ways to place a classified. Some are free; some are
not. Traditionally there is the local newspaper, community bulletins or
anything that is printed on paper. However, the internet has become
another avenue for classified advertisements. Craig’s list is most
popular free classified web site. However, it only does well in large
populated areas. When it comes to small communities, some have their
own version of Craig’s List. Here is the San Luis Valley we have the SLV JUNCTION. Again, depending
what you are selling one will do better over the others.
Pros:
- A traditional method of advertising.
- General belief that everyone reads the newspaper.
- If you are advertising for a garage or yard sale the
first place buyers usually look.
- You can confirm the ad was actually placed.
Cons:
- Limited to someone actually seeing and reading the ad.
- If service is not free, expect to pay.
- Everyone can have your personal information, such as
phone number and address.
- You keep getting phone calls after the fact, because
you forgot to cancel the ad after the sale.
