It is relevant.

So, the question becomes is there DEMAND for your products? And where is that demand currently being met? Classified ads, in the right MEDIA, can be very good, doesn't have to be a lottery ticket. The old story about the guy trying to sell fishing lures in GOLF magazines sums it up. Even though a lot of golfers are also fishermen, it was out of tune in that magazine. Classifieds in general media, like newspapers or online need to be seen by the demand...which mostly doesn't work. So, it all comes back to the NPGS Formula: Product-Prospect-Promotion-MEDIA Locally, a golf company did decades of business selling golf tees in golf classified ad sections in GOLF magazines. The ad has to meet the demand, if not, mostly a waste of money...the exception being a small cost of an ad and a front end that covers that, with a back end (upsell, add ons) to create the profits. Pretty standard marketing. Also, classifieds used as lead gen, may work too...again, if the message matches the media. Gordon |
