Classifieds are still used by many, yet I wonder how much of an audience they have any more? You make some excellent points - I love the creativity of using multiple social media sites to raise awareness of an ad. The contest is an excellent way to get market interest too!
I wonder if there is a way to incorporate iTunes or other podcasting sites into a classified ad campaign?

Hi, Advertisers with small budgets can use self created small videos, classifieds, social networking media, etc. And if they are creative, fun and eye-catching then nothing can stop the campaign from being successful!

It is true that with this explosion of online social media marketing opportunities that most businesses are left scratching their heads as to where to begin. In understanding that not everyone is a social media guru (in some cases even some of those who just read an article about it) there needs to be a service that will handle the viral piece automatically. This is why we have just launched the first Social Media Classified Ads site called POPSOC. It is designed to automatically post to over 40 social networks automatically, thus making social media accessible to the masses even if they never heard of Twitter or have a profile on Facebook.

Also the papers have very little to lose at this point so anything is worth a shot

Classifieds have long been a dull and boring but incredibly useful tool to communities around the world. It would be very interesting to see a spruced up classifieds and how the audience would perceive it.

Great ideas. I love the simple idea of making the classifieds fun, and then using video. Brilliant! mj

While this is way more effort than the average classified ad buyer would want to do, it’s really a brilliant idea. YouTube and Flickr are both free so it’s great to use them to help you out. It really made me think: Why aren’t more realtors using YouTube or at least online video to help sell properties. Talk about a way to help promote your product in a saturated market! Almost noone is doing it! From what I’ve seen while online while looking at homes though, is that a lot of realtors can’t even be bothered to post an interior photo of the home, let alone a video. If you actually want to sell a home or rent out large commercial space, this is a great idea.
