Classified Ads - What Works & What Doesn’t
By Diana Barnum

«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»

 Do classified ads really work? Should you include an email
address or fax number in them? How about a call to action?

Questions like these are often brought to the attention of
OhioHelp.net, an Ohio-based company specializing in helping
businesses worldwide with their marketing, public relations and
freelance writing services. Here are some top tips they offer
based on their own client projects.

TOP TIPS FROM OHIOHELP.NET

I. CLASSIFIED AD PLACEMENT

Study the ads in publications where you would like to place yours
to see what works. And STUDY them like you'll have an exam over
them. If you didn't see the ad before, skip it. Only focus on
those who repeatedly placed the same ads - -these people are
selling off of them: bottom line.

While you’re at it, call some of those companies who are not your
direct competitors and ask how their ads pull (and log their
replies for reference). Exchange contact information and follow
up so that you can possibly team up with them later in a joint
venture and send clients back and forth.

Results show that small ads placed in inexpensive publications
generally bring in phone calls and clicks to websites, but no
email replies. And on the average, these callers reported having
limited or no Internet access along with limited or no computer /
email capabilities in their homes. If they had access at work, it
was limited and did not offer personal / private email. Toll-free
numbers brought in more responses than local numbers with area
codes. And fax numbers brought in nothing at all.

II. CLASSIFIED AD GIFTS

Sales increased with the inclusion of Gift and Reward items in a
call-to-action ad.  Popular items were:

A. A No-Cost Information Kit that included a variety of tip
sheets, electronic books and software sent via downloadable
links in printed sales letters and included on disks or CDs.  All
items were mailed Flat Rate via Priority Mail.

B. A Book / workbook set sent the same way or mailed Media Rate
in a manila envelope. Sets were for a trial period before
purchasing. And No-Cost Information Kits above were included in
the package.

C. A special “Freebie” item of their choice from our bookstore
was mailed or emailed with mention of the ad.



III. CLASSIFIED AD COPYWRITING

To increase customer contact, communication and overall sales,
include specific pricing in the ad; for example, say, “rates from
$39.” Also list an email address with a domain name and specific
person to contact. In other words, instead of emailing
info@aol.com, email diana@ohiohelp.net using a first name for
familiarity. (Note that some classifieds charge a 3-word count
for URLs but only a 1-word count for email addresses.) And use an
action verb in your call-to-action, “Mention Ad for…”


IV. CLASSIFIED TIPS

Remember:

• Keep up. Keep educating yourself and your helpers. For example,
inexpensive company subscriptions to a monthly ebook club
http://presssuccess.com/wholesale and the jvAlert Perpetual
Learning Series www.jvAlert.com/LearningSeries.aspx?id=1805  help
to catch up with the latest scoop -- what works and what doesn’t
work from top-level marketers & industry leaders.

• Prepackage info into autoresponders
http://presssuccess.com/AutoPilot with a 30-day no-cost trial period.
Then the info can be sent upon request immediately to prospective
clients. Treat information requests like proposals & include past
work you’ve done in the field, samples, references, additional
resources, your credentials, etc.

So sharpen your pencil or grab your keyboard and tune up your
classified campaigns. Testing and improving your ads can
definitely increase sales.

Installing New Software

As you may know, the original Disk Operating System (DOS) was
dealing with small amounts of memory and extremely limited disk
storage capability. To overcome this storage problem, they would
fragment the files so as to use every possible bit of the disk.
These fragmented files had a pointer at the end of each fragment
that pointed to the next segment.

While this is an extremely efficient method of storing the
maximum amount of data on a disk, the fragmented parts of a file
could be all over the place, thus slowing down disk access
significantly. Today’s bigger disks (smaller but bigger <G>)
have a lot more storage capacity, but good old DOS still handles
the files the old fashioned way.

If you are installing a new piece of software, you don’t want
the program fragmented all over the disk. Before installing it,
run “Disk Cleanup” and “Disk Defragmenter.”  That way, when you
install the new software, it will be in one contiguous place.

It should be noted that some “install” programs will install it
in one place (if it can) and you don’t have to worry about this.

But – it is a good idea to do this under any circumstances.
