Classified advertising is a traditional method of advertising which is for the most part common in newspapers, magazines, print online and other publications. Classified advertising is different from traditional advertising or business models in that it empowers private individuals (not just large businesses or companies) to seek sales for products and services.
Overview
Classified advertising is usually textually based and can consist of as little as the type of item being sold and a telephone number to call for more information. It can also have much more detail, such as name to contact, address to contact or visit, a website, a detailed description of the product or products ("jackets and coats, size 9" as opposed to "clothes", "gray 2003 Toyota Celica" as opposed to "car"). There are generally no pictures or other graphics within the advertisement, although sometimes a logo may be used.
Classified advertising is called such because it is generally grouped within the publication under headings classifying the product or service being offered (headings such as Payroll, Cars, Clothes, Farm Produce, For Rent, For Sale, etc.) and is grouped entirely in a distinct section of the publication, which makes it different from display advertising, which often contains graphics or other art work and which is more typically distributed throughout a publication.
