How to Create Craigslist Ads

Craigslist is a free and simple classified website filled with deals on products that keep cash in your wallet. Its easiness has served as a positive and negative due to spam posts or unexplained information, but advertisement construction
Descriptions.

When you are shopping in-store or online, do you make a purchase without reading the description? Even if you do not read all of it, it is important to share as much useful information in order for customers to feel confident in completing the purchase. This is very important for items in every price range. Lower value items like clothing and higher value items like cars, electronics, and homes deserve detailed descriptions. Here are some examples of what to include:

Clothing - Size, How Many Times Worn, Brand
Cars - Mileage, Renovations, Year, Brand
Homes - Year, Garage, Number of Bedrooms and Bathrooms, Location (Convenient to Shopping, Schools)

High-quality photos.

Have you ever clicked on a Craigslist advertisement, saw there were no photos, and left the advertisement without reading the description? All Craigslist posts should have photos. Similar to real estate listings or anything you attempt to sell online, your bounce-rate will be high when you have no photos in your post. Consider a professional photographer if you do not have a photographer's eye.

Location.

You do not need to add your home or business address, but it is ideal to give a location that people may search. When I was renting out a room in Orlando, Florida, I knew writing Orlando, Florida in the post would be vague and not show up in the midst of similar posts. I stated being near Curry Ford Road and Goldenrod Road, and I received responses from my target audience: students near Valencia College and UCF, and business professionals seeking a place close to their jobs. This saves buyers time and effort from moving forward with the process if the location is too far.

Details.

Craigslist gives you the opportunity to include specific details about your product. For example, when I posted an available room for rent in my home, I selected the following options: furnished, washer and dryer in unit, no smoking, street parking, no private bath, and private room. This makes the search easier for people who are searching for a specific item.

Price.

When you provide a description,  high-quality photos, your location, and details, you are almost on the right path to creating a Craigslist advertisement that will help you sell your products and services fast. The last recommendation is including the price so buyers can negotiate a price that fits their budget. Instead of receiving a question about the price, buyers can express their interest immediately.
