Community Advertising Brings Together People with Like-Minded Goals & Ideas
The most efficient way to reach a wide audience with regards to information, buying or selling an item, launching a product, etc. is through the medium of advertisements in newspapers and magazines. The reach of newspapers in India and some other countries around the world is quite phenomenal, while in many western countries, the internet is slowly replacing the newspaper. Advertisements for specific items are placed through the classified sections in the newspaper and they are usually charged.
Online Classifieds
The classified ad sites in most newspapers cater to a wide range of subjects from jobs, matrimonials, vehicles, household goods, services, pets, real estate, tuition classes, community etc. While this is a very cost-effective way of advertising, the onset of the internet has changed the barriers, and today there are thousands of free classified ads posting sites available for those with access to a computer or smart phone. There is no doubt that the print advertising sales have suffered a downtrend since the online boom in classified ads, and the trend is still growing. Today, most free online classified advertising sites have gone from strength to strength with more and more sites opening up every other day. Currently, sites for posting free ads in India have become quite crowded with all sorts of ads; these could range from matrimonial ads to used vehicles, household goods, furniture, etc.
Community Well-Being
While online advertisements target a general audience, people who are looking for something to unite a group of like-minded people for many reasons have found that community advertising is the perfect place to advertise. The community ads have found a resonance with people who are more altruistic and would like others to join them to improve the town, village or some other problem. It has been found to be the perfect place to advertise and inform people about any religious activities, musicians or music shows, fetes, grievances, peeves, volunteers, and even lost and found. This could be a closed community event or a general website that informs all subscribers about what is planned for the day, week or month. This online information could also be used to unite neighboring communities who have similar goals and ideas.
Specific Targeting
Online classified advertisement sites have also been found to be the perfect place for vehicle advertising; some sites even allow 2 to 3 photos of the vehicle on sale to be posted along with the advertisement. To ensure that the advertisement is viewed favorably by visitors to the site, it needs to be placed in a prominent position, but there is usually a charge for this. The same principle works for individuals who wish to place real estate ads targeting a specific market and location. This form of advertising has become very popular online especially when there is a construction boom on the way. Job classified advertisements have also become very popular with individuals looking for jobs and with human resources staff of companies looking for specially qualified individuals to fill a vacancy.
