Our gift to our readers: Free Classified advertising on Talk of the Town
By Jennifer Zartman Romano
Talk of the Town is pleased to unveil our New Year’s gift to our readers – free classified advertising.
Although we began piloting the idea without a formal announcement earlier this month, we’re now ready to begin posting our reader’s ads as they are made available to us using the advertising form now posted on the Classifieds page. There are a variety of sections from Adoption to Wanted Items...and more will be created as demand is noted. 
The form enables readers to submit a classified ad, free of charge, for two weeks. If the item does not sell, simply resubmit it after two weeks and it will be republished.
We see so many benefits in offering free classified advertising, including that it provides an opportunity for local residents to sell their items without the added expense of commercial advertising at a time when people are looking to make a little extra money to help the household budget. The ads may include a photo and an e-mail contact in addition to any other information. A charge will apply for any photos in addition to the first free one. Photos, in jpeg format, will need to be emailed to: jennifer@talkofthetownwc.com
Full color display advertising is also available on the Classifieds page, beginning at just $15 per month.
Talk of the Town has provided low cost advertising since last winter, connecting buyers and sellers across Whitley County for successful commerce.
We also plan to occasionally note interesting or unique items for sale on the front page of Talk of the Town, further highlighting your ad to the thousands of readers who visit Talk of the Town each week. How do we know this? We receive detailed, daily reports regarding traffic to our website.
The Classified page can be accessed easily on the tool bar at right beneath the J&J Insurance Solutions ad or by clicking here.
