Classifieds Myth
Debunked!
Classifieds, and even auctions, are obviously forms of selling. In the world of sales, there is the general notion that "it's a numbers game." We've all heard some example of this... "you have to knock on 10 doors to get in front of one customer; you have to make 100 presentations to make 1 sale." Okay, the numbers and examples may change, but then end idea is that it all comes down to numbers... the more, the better.
The numbers philosophy has been used to great advantage by newspaper classifieds... as if all 100,000+ subscribers are looking at the classifieds and your ad in particular, and even by the big name, national online sites... like it really matters whether they have 1 million houses or cars to choose from, unless you really are considering buying from anywhere in the country!
We're here to debunk the numbers myth. It isn't as important as you would be lead to believe, and it certainly isn't the most important thing. All the numbers in the world won't matter if you aren't "selling" to the right people.
Putting your ad in front of someone who is interested in what you are selling and that what you are selling meets their needs is far more important. If you are selling a two-story house, it really doesn't matter whether 10 people or 10,000 people see your ad if they are all looking for a ranch!
Changing How You Do Classifieds
We help put your ad in front of the right people. If you've ever sold your own home, or a car or anything else, you probably had to show it to a lot more people than you would have liked. Maybe you were lucky, but most of the time, it is a lot of lost evenings or weekends. Obviously if someone is looking for a ranch home, they probably knew that your two-story wasn't of interest. However, there are countless things of interest that could be the deciding factor on whether to even consider what you are selling. If only they had known, they wouldn't have wasted your time.
The web has really introduced people to information... we crave it, we want it, and we are getting used to having it. Unfortunately, newspaper classifieds are way behind the times there, but even many of the real estate, dealership, and other online classified sites fail to deliver.
