Default Which products sell profitably from newspaper classifieds....

Hi Dave,

Thanks again, I had a closer look.... It certainly looks like it could be very useful if you advertise in the classifieds!

By the way, which leads me to the question -- what kind of products sell well from the classifieds section of the paper, to your knowledge? (This is directed at everybody....)

I have to admit I don't have experience in this myself. But I have looked to see what sells, at least here in Australia, from the classifieds section.

There is one business I know of here in Australia which successfully sells correspondence courses from the classified section of the newspaper, nation-wide. Their courses are not cheap though -- a shade under $1000 per course....

I guess they can afford to have a low response rate, because their profit margin must be huge. They wouldn't need much response to be profitable! I'm sure they're successful, though, as I've seen their ads in the paper repeatedly every week for several years....

Do you know of any other products which some seem to sell successfully from newspaper classifieds?
