Free Classified Ads or very low-cost online classifieds are a smart way to get your local business in front of hundreds and perhaps even thousands of potential new LOCAL customers from even a single post using a graphic ad design that will attract local buyers as well as from the search engine results you’ll get from your free classifieds if they are done correctly as you can see in the video below.
By far, one of the best marketing methods available to you if you don’t have a hefty marketing budget, is to create and post a (free or low cost) local online classified advertising campaign.

This is a marketing strategy we recommend to our new clients who are just getting their businesses off the ground and usually don’t have much by way of a marketing budget.
