85239.com changes classified pricing; most ads still free

Apr 25, 2008

inmaricopa.com recently changed its classified ad pricing, changing the price of business ads to $29 and doubling the term from 15 to 30 days. It also increased the $49 employment ads to 30 days.

Personal ads and real estate listings are still free and include the following information:
• Headline
• Detailed category description
• Description of item
• Up to five images
• Contact information

Business and employment ads include the same information, plus the headline is included on the Classified section’s main page.

All ads are visible to local readers 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Many previous advertisers have raved about the results they’ve received with inmaricopa.com Classifieds.

“We were very impressed how fast ‘Gamma’s House’ filled up,” said Sheri Fogle, referring to an ad seeking parents in need of someone to care for their children. “We advertised other places and had a few contacts, but three days after our ad was posted with inmaricopa.com, our child care was full. It was a great experience.

Jason Hatfield of Universal Protection said he used inmaricopa.com classified ads to fill jobs.

“Our experience with inmaricopa.com has been extremely positive,” he said. “They offer the best and most cost-effective means of reaching the growing population of Maricopa, and the majority of our new employees in the area have come to us from our advertising on this Web site.”

Classifieds also are a great way to sell items one no longer needs, according to Lisa Frarck.

“This is the best thing!” she said. “I sold my bed in about five hours. I also sold a double stroller by answering an ad in the classified section. I’m excited and looking for other items to sell.”

Pet owners with puppies or kittens to sell – and those looking to become pet owners – have free access to ads on the site, too.

“A few months ago, I put a couple of puppies on here,” another inmaricopa.com user said. “They sold in one day. And, the other day, I put a motorcycle on here. Same thing; it sold in one day.”
