Craigslist Winchester Virginia – Advertising Your Business Free?
I have recently spoken with many small business owners, mainly contractors, that have said they are getting a few jobs posting their business on craigslist in the winchester virginia area. (As well as craigslist hagerstown md and craigslist martinsburg wv)
I can definitely see how posting on craigslist can reap great profits, since it is free advertising. And if your a business in the winchester va area I would highly recommend getting your business onto craigslist so you can start generating more calls.
The downfall with posting on craigslist Va is that in order to be effective, you would have to post your business every day. Why? Because when you first post in a specific category, your business is listed on top. Then as others post your business gradually gets pushed in the the abyss of nowhere, and people will only search back but so far. So it is important that you continue to refresh your business information regularly.
There is an alternative though. Most businesses that are having success with craigslist are service businesses. These types of businesses would also get amazing results just by getting an ad in the yellow pages. Now I know what your thinking… Too Expensive, right?
Well let me be the one to tell you that getting your business in the yellow book and on the Internet doesn’t have to be wallet crushing. As a matter of fact you can easily grow your business in the yellow book with an investment of about $1.00/day.
The reason you should get your business listed in the yellow book is because that’s where people look for service type businesses. And the people looking are ready to spend money for the service that they need, right now. If you’re not listed in the yellow book then you can guarantee that you won’t get any of that ripe business.
There are many stories of local businesses doubling in size due to yellow book advertising. And for service businesses it’s fairly hard not to get a good return using the yellow pages as a source of high quality leads.
Now I’m not saying to stop posting with craigslist. If it is working for you then continue doing it, but in addition to posting on craigslist be sure to get your ad in the yellow book. Eventually you will grow large enough to let the “little guys” have the craigslist advertising.
I can show you a simple and very affordable way to get into the yellow book without busting your wallet. Contact me at dozierdd@mymediaprofit.com and I’ll help you get more customers for less money.
