Headline
In the ad itself the most important element is the headline.
The headline is either the heading that goes at the top of the ad or if there's no heading
it's the first words of the ad. The headline needs to grab peoples' attention.
One change in a headline can produce a 50 -100% increase in response.
(TIP: If the headline of your ad is currently the name of your company,
you can almost certainly increase the response rate by changing the headline.)
|
Headline Keywords
The most important point is that your title should have keywords, the only things
that make your ad arrives in front of prospective audience. It should be simple,
but includes as many keywords as possible. If you sell a digital camera, then put
the words "digital camera" in the title, that simple. It makes distinct boundary
between ads that turn out in the top list and ads that get buried nowhere in the
list. Putting an interesting advertising word near the keywords such as "excellent",
"guarantee", "best", and their kinds is also a good option. Otherwise, put emotional
words such as "feel" and "enjoy". Your ad should look different.
|
Description of your products or services
You should make clear, short, and interesting description about your products or
services. Place the same keywords as those in the title, they will get indexed
well by search engines. Do not let it be too long, unless you write about the
benefits, features, or product characteristics. They are the most important
selling points you should include in the item description, and even these shouldn't
be too detailed. The audiences are online, they can get to other ads as soon
as making a click. If they can not find valuable content in the description at a
glance, they will leave the ad.
|
Contact information
Put your contact information such as name, phone number, website, and email is
important to assure your credibility to audience. If you have a business name,
put it on top of your classified ad. Make it easy for audience to contact you
when any further information is needed. It is also your chance to provide more
detailed information about the products or services.
|
Price of your products or services
It is god to state your price to attract serious audience. It is a strength
point that many buyers look for before making decision, especially if you offer
a competitive price. Otherwise, give some clues such as price range, discounts,
and special offer. Some other marketing words will also work, such as "best
deal" and "cheap". In most cases, it is always best to provide price information
or clues. If your price is higher than the market average, put more strength
on your product's advantages.
Ask yourself a question, will I buy this item at the price I am offering from
someone else? If no, then you have over-priced your item.
Mention the price clearly. Also state whether the price is fixed or you are
willing to take the best offer. This helps in getting better ad responses.
|
Additional link or information
This includes whatever information or link that make your audience know where
they can buy or get more information about the product. You can link to neutral
sites that give reviews, your collection of testimonials from previous buyers,
sites or videos that show simulation of product usage, or something like that.
Imagine how you can collect all of these marketing supports freely by using online
classified ads. This will help to assure and encourage audience to make purchase.

Photo of your product

audience. Upload a quality photo that is eye catching. Consider combining dark and
bright color for object and background. You an also add some text if it is not too
crowded.
