Facebook has revolutionized the way we stay connected in today’s hectic world. It has left other social networking sites way behind and has become the undisputed leader in the race for being the most admired and used social networking sites.
To provide its users with more benefits and at no extra costs, it has recently teamed up with Oodle-a free online classified major in the U.S.A. This collaboration of two stalwarts has resulted in the launch of Facebook Classifieds. It is an online platform to post advertisements and attract customers from across the world. Facebook Classifieds is slowly progressing to establishing itself as a premier Online Classifieds website which is gaining continuously to consolidating its position as a premier Free Classifieds website.
Facebook Ads
From Mexico to Myanmar, Facebook is now an integral part of our being. We have started depending on Facebook to connect with people all across the globe. Recent estimates put the number of Facebook users to over 400 million people. An advertisement in Facebook is destined to catch the eye of people across countries and colors and that is the platform Facebook Ads provides you. But what is Facebook Ads?
It is a service which allows you to post your advertisement in Facebook. This way, the chances of your advertisement being noticed by people increases manifold - which in turn has the potential to increase revenue generation. The benefits of Facebook Ads were reaped by a company by the name “CM Photographic”. CM Photographic was able to generate revenue close to $40,000 directly from a $600 investment in publishing its advertisement in Facebook Ads.
Free Online Ads
The World Wide Web is the medium of choice for businesses across the globe to target customers. Businesses and individuals across the world wanting to attract customers for their services and merchandise post online ads on various websites. Facebook offers its users the facility of free online ads to kick-start their sales campaign. Technically however these are not absolutely free as Facebook charges a minimum compensation for either every click (CPC) or every view (CPM). In spite of the cost associated with these advertisements, it is cost effective as the advertiser does not have to pay for simple posting the advertisement. On the other hand, advertisers pay only when an interested individual clicks on that advertisement or views it. Keeping in mind the huge number of people who access Facebook, this gives the advertiser of the free online ad a much better reach than most other websites where advertisements can be given at a price.
Vehicles
We all love Vehicles-cars to be more precise. The community pages on Facebook pertaining to different kinds of Vehicles and the various car clubs on Facebook give car lovers the opportunity to connect with people sharing similar interest and love. These communities and clubs not only help us connect with like-minded people, the Facebook Classifieds section also helps us buy and sell cars at competitive prices. Ads for Vehicles on sale are found in Facebook Classifieds. The benefits of this are manifold. To start with, we can choose a car of our choice-right from the make of that car to its color. It also gives us the chance to know more about the cars of our choice from people who have used such cars and are knowledgeable about them.
Rentals
A place to stay is one of our major and primary requirements. We slog all through the day to ensure that we have a decent lifestyle-a nice place to stay. Searching for a dwelling unit is not easy in today’s world and more so in the over-populated cities. Facebook Classifieds has a Rentals section which lists dwelling units available on rent. Facebook users across the world can search for dwelling units on rent in the place of their interest and in the budget that is healthy for their pocket. The Rentals section in Facebook Classifieds has been able to successfully solve the miseries of millions of people around the world searching for a decent and pocket-friendly dwelling unit.
Stuff
We have varied needs. It is not easy to find everything we need under the same roof. This creates a problem as we have to shuttle between shops or online stores to get all we need. Facebook Classifieds has been able to solve this problem to a large extent. The Stuff section in Facebook Classifieds lists various things that we can browse through and purchase if the need be. Even for sellers it is a very good platform as they can advertise any and every kind of product in the Stuff section in Facebook Classifieds. The leverage to advertise all kinds of products and services in the Stuff section coupled with the huge user base of Facebook provide to the sellers have far greater reach than the traditional marketing strategies and sites.
Tickets
Traveling is an integral part of our existence. We travel for pleasure and for business and professional needs. Ticket-less travel is a crime. But unfortunately we are too tied-up to take a day off and dedicate it for booking our tickets. The problem seemed insurmountable till Facebook stepped in like a Messiah. The Tickets section in Facebook Classifieds gives us the option of booking our tickets from the comfort of our bed rooms. It gives us the option to choose our intended date of journey as well as the mode of journey.
