Warning: Using Cheap Spammers to Target Craigslist is Like Flushing Money Down the Toilet
Think quality, not quantity.
The "common wisdom" is that you need to post to Craigslist multiple times per day for it to be effective. That, pardon my French, is a load of crap put out by companies that want you to pay for more and more ineffective Craigslist ads. You see, when their ads don't work, they just get you to buy more. And more.
Craigslist users are not idiots. They know how to use the Search feature to narrow their choices. Nobody, and I mean nobody, simply browses the list from top to bottom in a busy category. That's just stupid.
I've done the testing and research. Posting once per day is about all you need to be effective. For example, in the Phoenix apartment listings where my happy Craigslist posting service clients post once per day, at least 50% of the people who see one ad will see two or more of their ads. Many times the peak number of views comes six to eight hours after the ad is posted.
The key to Craigslist marketing is having an effective ad. You need to get your message to pop out to the viewer. If you're known in the community, your ad should reflect your brand. If you're trying to build a brand, Craigslist marketing is a great way to go.
My Craigslist posting service is different. I use my marketing and web design expertise to create ads that - I know this is crazy - actually work! Stop looking like some desperate spammer and start looking like a real business that people can trust. Do you like to do business with spammers? Neither do many other people.
If you want to go with some cheap spamming company that posts ads that get ignored, that's fine by me. However, if you're looking for effective advertising, I can't wait to hear from you. I can provide you with statistics that show how often your ads are viewed, and we can fine tune your advertising accordingly. I'll help you develop an effective Craigslist marketing program. I haven't lost a single client yet!
