Tips and FAQs
  • Remember to include your contact information. Be as accessible as possible.
  • Clearly state your price. The price of an item is probably one of the most important factors to classified ad readers.
  • Don't use abbreviations unless it's necessary. An abbreviation you use might be perfectly clear to you, but someone else might have no idea what it means.
  • Ads that show the price are the ones that get results! Also, giving a price helps you to attract customers who are in your price range.
  • Use A Prominent Headline: Choose the main benefit of your merchandise and feature it in a compelling headline. Avoid generalized quality claims.
  • Make Your Copy Complete: Complete sentences are easier to read than a series of phrases and random words.
  • Specify Branded Merchandise: If you're offering a name brand, be sure to state this fact in your classified ad copy.
  • Use a Simple Layout : Classified listings should not be crossword puzzles. A good ad layout carries the reader's eye through headline, art, copy, price, advertiser's name, and phone number.
  • Use a Dominate Element: A large visual or headline means your ad will be noticed.
  • Let White Space Work For You: This is an important layout element in classified advertising because the average page is heavy with small type.
  • Urge The Reader To Act Now: Every ad should include a strong bid for action. Stimulate prompt action by using such phrases as: "This Week Only."
  • If you are selling personal items, like used cars, cameras etc., provide details description of the item, its selling price, and your contact information.
  • Include online in your ad schedule: many people, whether they read the paper or not, have access to the internet. Its fast, easy, and you can specialize your search.
  • Look through the Merrill Foto News / County Post. If you see a Classified ad that catches your attention, consider running something similar.
  • Organize your thoughts before you call to place your Classified ad. If you have the important information written down, you won't forget a necessary detail.
  • There is a 10 word minimum for placing a website into an advertisement.
