How to Compose a Good Classified Advertisement

Classified advertisements are divided into Classified text ads and Classified Display ads. Classified text ads publish in standard running text format and charge as per character, word or line. Enhancements like color, underline, bold, tick etc can be added to classified text ads. Classified display ads are charged as per sq cm and contain image, color, logo etc. Both are specifically published in the Classified page of the newspaper.

  1. Appropriate newspaper selection: Selecting the appropriate newspaper is the basic need to successfully publish a classified advertisement. Choose a local or national newspaper according to your need for advertisement.
  2. Preferred edition selection: Edition needs to be selected according to the target reader. For eg, if you want to sell a flat in Delhi then selecting Delhi edition of any newspaper is the best option. Thus you can get the maximum response.
