What is
Online Shopping?
Online
shopping
is the process consumers go
through to purchase products
or services over the
Internet. An online shop,
e-shop, e-store,
Internet shop,
webshop, online store,
or virtual store
evokes the physical analogy
of buying products or
services at a
bricks-and-mortar retailer
or in a
shopping mall.
The metaphor
of an online catalog
is also used, by analogy
with
mail order catalogs. All
types of stores have retail
web sites, including those
that do and do not also have
physical storefronts and
paper catalogs.

Since its launch in 1995 Craigslist.org has quietly
become the largest online classifieds website in the
world with a regional presence in 190 cities, across 35
countries. Each month over 10 million people log on to
the seventh most popular website to buy and sell just
about everything. From real estate to furniture,
promoting services such as contracting, house cleaning
and even babysitting - Craigslist is the one spot where
anyone can connect regionally to fill a need.
As its popularity has continued to increase, so have the
possibilities for vendors large and small to market
their wares on Craigslist. Whats the big attraction? For
the most part Craigslist is 100% free to post and
search. Only do job postings in San Francisco, L.A and
New York City cost a small fee to post. Otherwise,
Craigslist is an open free source for new targeted
customers, ripe for the picking, just waiting for your
business to give them what they want.
Craigslist is regionally based website that truly
promotes community involvement. However, you can post in
any of the available metros and multiple metros as well.
The trick is in designing an ad that gets people
attention, getting on a regular posting schedule,
following the rules (or at least not overtly breaking
them) and searching for new customers daily.
Simplicity in ad design is paramount and it matches the
vibe that Craigslist likes to attract - peer-to-peer,
real human interaction. It lacks the commercial aspects
that add fluff and confusion in exchange for simple ads,
most posted by real folks. Design your ad to fit into
that scheme is key to a successful campaign.
Get into the habit of posting often on Craigslist and
hit multiple metros with different ads to get more reach
(if you business can support it). Its free to post so
what do you have to lose!
Understanding Craigslist rules are fairly simple as they
are openly published. They are super picky about what
you can post, but there are exceptions like livestock
and anything illegal (drugs, guns, etc.). One of the
major rules that I see as a marketing rule more than a
terms of service rule is to post in the category that
best corresponds with your product type. This ensures
your ad will reach the best target without adding to
useless clutter.
Over 8 million people post monthly on Craigslist and
that number grows every day. Dont just sit back and post
ads, answer ads seeking your products and services as
well.
Craigslist is one of the best ways for every business,
large and small to find a new voice online for little
more than elbow grease.
