Classified Sites are no doubt one of the best platforms to market your products. Most of the top classified sites allow you to post a free advertisement, to get more visibility to your advertisement; you can even choose a plan of your choice. One thing I like the most of online classified services is that the users inquiry on your product is directly forwarded to your mail box .Thus, the conversations between client and you is via emails .Even though they are one of the most preferred and top platforms for marketing a product, it’s very hard to get sales (unless you’ve an established brand) right from the day 1. But if you work a bit hard, you’ll surely make a breakthrough within few days/weeks .Hence, to make a breakthrough; you’ll need to know follow some tips/advice .Below mentioned tips will surely help you to accomplish your product marketing goals through the classified sites:-
- Choosing a Category:-There are lot of categories in which you can post your AD, for some products like software, posting in categories that have nothing to do with the product may help … for example, accounting software if posted in a category of tax consultants, accounting jobs may fetch you new customers. So always spend some time thinking “In which category can your product can get Maximum Exposure” before posting your free ad
- Attractive Title: - This is one of the most important points you should never forget. Your title should be attractive and catchy…As most of the popular free classified sites have a high page rank, your ad once posted would quickly get indexed by search engines. A attractive title (Link) , would surely be visited by people who performed a search operation and found your post .
- Images in advertisements:-Posting an image of your product in the advertisement would not only make your advertisement informative but also attractive .You ad would certainly get more hits when you add images to your advertisement.
- Good Description:-Make sure that you post the most important details of your product. The more information you add to the post , more are the chances that people would contact you .(Considering that your software product has met all the requirements of the target business).On doing this , people can match their requirements with the information you’ve mentioned in your advertisement …and if he/she gets satisfied with whatever you’ve posted .. He’ll/she’ll surely contact you and there’s no doubt that you’ve found a new client in him/her.
- Location:-Make sure that you don’t fake the location of your business … if someone from your own locality find’s your advertisement either through search engines of the free classified sites …he may visit your business location to seek more information on the product ..Hence this is important.
- Sharing your ad in the Social Media:- Social Networking sites like twitter and facebook are the two most famous marketing mediums that many marketing gurus suggest .You can share your advertisement on your timeline for your friends to see…You can gain more exposure ifs you make your friends share the advertisement …or you can include relevant hash tags in your tweets on twitter.
With this I conclude that for successful marketing and for the success in any business , building links is very important .If you liked this post and found the post informative , kindly share this post with your friends .
