5 Secrets to Ad Design on Craigslist
from:Deb St. George, Publisher, GettingToSuccess.com
As you develop your promotional and advertising strategies for the coming year, make sure you optimize the use of Craigslist where you can post your classified ads for free. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain when it comes to promoting your products and your business. There are a variety of ways to advertise on Craigslist and driving traffic from a Craigslist classified ad is an excellent way to expand your business.
Classified ads are one of the best ways to promote your business since most people use classified ads when they are searching for something very specific. This means that people will be searching for what you have to offer when your classified ad appears on Craigslist. There will always be people who are simply browsing the various categories jut to see what’s available and it’s possible that your ad will catch their attention. But the real traffic driver is the ad that catches the attention of your target audience.
One thing to keep in mind as you create your ads for Craigslist. You have the option to simply create a one or two line ad which is typically used to sell a product. Many people use this method to sell home furnishings, appliances, clothing, or other things that can be easily delivered in their local community. That was the original intent and purpose of the Craigslist website.
But today, the site is much more than just selling an item by a consumer. It’s also a way to engage your target audience by creating a professional ad with graphics and pictures that attract attention. An ad that contains graphics with a link to your website can be an incredible attention grabber. It’s easy to upload graphics and pictures to the Craigslist website – just be sure that your picture includes the link to your site.
If you really want to drive traffic to your website, your ad needs to be engaging. The competition on this site has increased significantly over the years and the best ads are those that include something unusual or unique, including a picture or graphic. These graphics are also a good way to promote your brand image and will help people remember your ad and your website.
Secrets for success
Key tips about graphics and images used in advertisements on Craigslist will help you optimize the use of your ad space:
Make sure your graphics are clearly focused and sharp – don’t skimp on quality since the best way to drive traffic is to demonstrate professionalism and high quality
Include a link to your website in your graphic so people can simply point and click to your site
Your graphics must be relevant to your content and your website – otherwise you risk frustrating potential customers who reach a website only to find it isn’t what they thought it would be
Have your link from your graphic drive traffic to a specific page on your website so you can track effectiveness of the graphic
Content should be short, yet convey a valuable message or piece of information about your site to entice visitors to click – your graphics should encourage readers to check out the short content
Using Craigslist to promote your products and business is a wise business decision. When you optimize the use of your ad space by including graphics that attract your target audience, you’ll also increase the clicks and traffic to your website.
