Publishing , the leader in July 2007, ranked second with
17.2 million visitors (up 25%), while AutoTrader ranked
third with 8.4 million visitors (up 24%).”
While online classifieds are not new, it appears that
internet users are really beginning to catch on to this
phenomenon.With nearly 60 percent growth in the past year,
online classifieds are growing at a rate that surpasses
most other categories.
As the category leader, Craigslist has clearly impacted
the way in which new and traditional media companies
approach the classifieds business. Research said a higher
than expected proportion of visitors came from among
younger professionals. People between the ages of 25
and 35, and those in households making at least US
$90,000 annually,were each 27% more likely than
average to visit classified sites.
Classified advertising is a truly great business building
tool you can use to generate dozens and dozens of leads
for your service business.
Whether your target market(s) is based locally or further
away there are publications, trade magazines, newsletters,
and newspapers that will be read by your prospects. Placing
small ads in the classified advertising section of these
publications will generate leads for you.
The great news is that classified advertising even with
large publications is relatively inexpensive.
But of course it’s not how much it costs that’s important.
What’s important is how much profit you generate from using
classified advertising.
