Communications - why advertising online is the answer

Over 3,000 per day (that's over 1,000,000 per year!)

That's the estimated number of ad exposures the average consumer sees, reads, hears or is subliminally exposed to each and every day. Those ads range from boring, copy-laden radio commercials, to easily skimmed through forgettable newspaper and magazine ads. They include billboard ads on the sides of the buses and beside roadways, logos on the sides of buildings, home delivery of flyers, and television ads that are widely viewed as toilet and refreshment breaks injected into regular programming.

Why advertising online is the solution

If you can remember even one ad you saw yesterday, you're an exception. However Australians are increasingly turning to looking at advertising online for goods and services they need. Check out the below online facts and you will soon see why advertising online is the answer:

Australians spend more time online than watching TV, 13.7 hours versus 13.3 hours

88% of Australian Internet users bought online between July - December 2008

Australians search 102 times per searcher - which is the 2nd highest in the World

Why should you choose advertising online?

Australians buy goods and services every day and the Internet is a simple, cost effective, fast growing method of connecting with consumers who are actively looking at advertising online for items and services they want or need. However, if you personally found it frustrating browsing through online sites looking for items, only to discover they were in Melbourne, Florida or Hobart, Indiana, USA, then BuyAndSellAustralia.com.au was designed especially for you. We make advertising online easy. At BuyAndSellAustralia.com.au you don't have to join a club or sell your items by auction, or pay a fee to sell a low priced item.

It was with those principles in mind that BuyAndSellAustralia.com.au was created wherein Australians could interact to buy or sell goods or services via advertising online and so far it has far exceeded our wildest expectations and is growing at a pace that, at times, is difficult to keep up with. We make advertising online easy and our advertisers are returning again and again. Our sales surveys indicate our service is effective and easy to use. And best of all: it's primarily from Australians, to Australians and by Australians!

Since our advertising online site was launched a little over a year ago, our ad count has grown to a point where it is now one of this country's most popular free classified advertising online sites. The thousands of existing listings are recent and are not two or three years old like you'll find on many sites that believe that quantity is more important than quality. When each item is sold we ask a couple of simple questions as the item is changed from NOT SOLD to SOLD. Over 83% of respondents replied that the site was either easy or very easy to use and many of them took the time to write a comment.

Here are a few of the comments from previous advertisers:

"A GOOD RESULT, I DID NOT THINK I WOULD SELL THE ITEM ON THIS SITE. THANKS."

"Extremely happy, my item sold in 5 days!!!!"

"I sold my stuff!!!

"Found it very easy to use. No changes necessary"

"SIMPLE and FREE - love it!"

"Easy to follow and place an ad quick simple love it"

"Excellent concept and service"

"Had trouble uploading photos, but your staff did it without fuss . All good."

"Not a thing it was great!!!"

"I think it's great"

Basic classified ads are still FREE and will always be FREE at BuyAndSellAustralia.com.au however, in response to requests from some of you, we are adding some advertising online services to facilitate advertisers that want a little higher profile for their ads. You'll find more information on these new advertising online services as you place your next ad.

We're extremely gratified to see the popularity of this site grow to a point where it is now one of the fastest growing Australia online classified ads sites with traffic to it growing at a tremendous pace. We'd like to say a very big THANK YOU to everyone who has used this advertising online site during its first year and a special THANK YOU to those who of you that have returned several times to list additional items.

We're looking forward to an even bigger year in 2010 and hope you'll continue to visit us often at BuyAndSellAustralia.com.au.

Thank you for all your support,

The Team at BuyAndSellAustralia.com.au.
