Classifieds Are Great, But What About Newspapers?
We are not into competitive business. We built beVermont to make it work well and whether it works better than newspapers is just a question. We have many advantages, such as focus on larger area and more people, we are fast, ads are bigger, last longer and can always be updated if needed. We try hard to be very fair to all of us. Example?
If you print newspaper and have managed to gain 20,000 readers, congratulations, it's very impressive number. At beVermont everybody reads classifieds, that's all we offer. If we ever get 10,000 visitors, we get 10,000 people interested in classifieds. Average newspapers estimate that classifieds are of interest to about 3 to 5% of their readers. If you place your ad in the local paper with 20,000 readers, it is safe to estimate that your ad may be seen by about 600 to 1,000 readers. It's a good count, just don't expect 20,000. And it takes some effort to create your ad plus some money to pay for it. If you place your ad on beVermont and it has only 500 visitors, that's 500 ad readers.
What About Other Online Classifieds?
Yes, there are other places online for classifieds. And most of them are very large and powerful, often run by massive companies and trying to reach more than just town or state. Typical effort is to cover more than just one country, they put a lot into covering entire world. Impressive and huge challenge.
We decided we would rather stay at home and make it work very well for people here. When you advertise on large online classifieds place, you will very likely get successful when you come from a large town or place or offer something very unique so you can stand out. Otherewise you may get lost. beVermont is focused on our home area and it will make almost no difference whether you come from Burlington or Starksboro or Sunderland. You won't get many buyers from China or Hungary, but we thought that might be just fine.
