Local Online Advertising: Selling Ads The Old-Fashioned Way

Writing by Brick Marketing on Tuesday, 9 of October , 2007 at 7:10 am

(Source) The age of the door-to-door salesperson has returned. This one isn’t bearing cosmetics or kitchen knives, however, but online advertising instead.

Why try new methods of advertising when the old methods work just fine?

I think this is a great business model for local small businesses. If you sell local advertising online then send a sales rep out to call on businesses - or consumers - to purchase ads. Even telemarketing could be a viable way to get new business. You won’t have to pay today’s exorbitant gas prices.

If you can’t devote the man hours to sending someone outside the store to sell your advertising, services like ReachLocal can do it for you. You pay them a commission and they sell your advertising. Whatever it takes, that’s the motto, whatever it takes to make your business work. Even while running your brick and mortar business, you can turn an Internet income by selling ads online to local businesses in your area. Sign me up!
