Practice Placing Classifieds
Another marketing method that I’ve neglected a long time is placing ads on classifieds pages. I still have one that I set up some years ago. As owner I can place ads that do not expire, whereas others have to come back and replace them every 30-60 days.
By placing my ads there for Dad’s crosses, and adding banners to my crosses web page, I get to market for free to all those who come enter their own ads. So far no sales, but then, I need to there and place a bunch MORE ads. Maybe in every category!
There is a certain skill in writing effective short ads. Some wording is much more effective than others. Again, this is an area where one must try and try over and over, constantly seeking to improve on past efforts.
EDIT: I have removed the link because I’ve deleted that classifieds page. I suspect it may have contributed the the huge dumps of SPAM I was getting in recent weeks, and I wasn’t using it to advertise much of anything anyway. I take back the advice given above!
