Auto Classifieds Online Or Off?

Automotive Articles

Auto Classifieds are a great way to sell your car. But you have a choice now to sell online, offline or a combination of both.

The Advantages of Online Auto Classifieds

• Wide coverage
• Nice pictures possible
• More space for description
• Usually can be found from a search engine
• Run it till you sell more common

Disadvantages:

• Search means customer usually searching for that exact car or near to it - misses buyers who chance on your car
• Depends on traffic of site as too whether your ad is seen
• Lower trust from internet based advertising
• Misses non-internet people

The Advantages of Offline Auto Classifieds:

• Higher trust factor
• Picks up online and offline buyers
• No computer knowledge or site technology to interfere with the buying process

Disadvantages:

• Pictures expensive
• Less room for description
• May miss 'online only' buyers.

So from this statistic, the solution would seem to be - spread your message across both mediums.
Well that's it for now.
Happy Selling!
