Complete Guide to Online Jodhpur Classified Ads

Have you seen Newspaper Ads written with big word “Classified” on it?

You might have seen it more times than you can count…

These ads wanted you to buy their services and products.

But…

Truly, how many times have you actually called and inquired these ads.

Probably 1 in 1000 times, or it may be the case that you yourself have never inquired a single advertisement.

Suppose, you want to advertise in classified section of newspaper ads. What’s the probability that others will inquire your ad?

Neither you nor newspaper ad specialist himself can guarantee anything.

There are so many factors that affect response rate. Some of them are:

Headline of ad
Body of ad
Use of picture in ad
Correct use of colors
Attention grabbing words
Ad above the fold or below the fold
Simplicity of your ad copy
Use of benefits in your ad copy
Presence or absence of scarcity
The flow of ad
etc. etc.

To test all these factors, you will have to waste so much money that you may start questioning…

What’s the problem?

Well, it comes out that newspaper ads have many of them.

Problems of Newspaper Classified Ads

So much has been said about “Why Newspaper Ads are not Effective?”. Here is a list of International Brands and their thoughts about newspaper ads:

And, here is a list of some of the most common problems with newspaper classified ads:

Classifieds are over populated. It is hard to stand out in classifieds. Your ad and other ads look similar. There is very little you can do, other than paying for more space.
They are not ecofriendly. Thousands of papers are wasted in classified ads every day.
They convert rarely. Due to so many factors discussed above, you can’t say whether your ad will be successful or flop.
There is no data how many people saw your ad. You cannot find out whether people read your ad or not.
Once printed, game over. To make improvements you have to place new ad.
Limited space make ads expensive.
You can advertise only to local people (Actually a fraction of local people, because no single newspaper has 100% of Jodhpur readers). If someone is not in Jodhpur, he cannot read the newspaper and hence cannot read your ad too.

And the scary part:

It is getting worse every day.
