Savvy businesspeople and Internet marketers who market on Craigslist are able to gain a great deal of benefits from this advertising option. There are a number of benefits to advertising on Craigslist. Two of the most important benefits are the affordability and the ability to reach a large audience.
Consider the cost of advertising on Craigslist versus advertising on other websites and there is simply no comparison. The vast majority of Craigslist postings are available free of charge to those who use the website. Advertising on Craigslist becomes even more financially appealing in comparison to other advertising option where the business owner is charged for each time the advertisement appears whether or not it results in a sale being made or even a lead generated.
In addition to affordability another benefit to advertising on Craigslist is the potential to reach a large audience. Craigslist receives approximately four billion page views per month from approximately ten million website visitors. This is appealing because it allows users to reach a large audience with only minimal effort.
Craigslist is a very useful marketing source, but is only going to be as effective as you make it. Posting one ad per day is not going to be advantageous to your community, because after a very short period of time, your ad will be lost in the mix of everyone that posts immediately after you. If you want to see the most results, you have to make sure your ad is always on the first page, which therefore, requires you to post multiple ads (5-10) all throughout the day. You have to make sure that you are creative with these posts, because you cannot post the same ad within a 48 hour timeframe.
Here are a few sites that offer great tips for changing up your posts to make creative ads. Have fun posting and watching the leases roll in!
