Advantages of beVermont

beVermont has several massive advantages for you - advertisers and readers. Classified Ads are widely used everywhere and in most countries. They are online, in newspapers, magazines. How can we start project such as this and have advantages compared to others? Competitors as business people call them. What do we have to do to be better for most people?

Advantages

We don't call other classified places "compatitors". They do their business, we run our system. They say they are better, we say we are simply different. And that's our advantage for our users. Conside the following:

Time, Money, Simplicity

Classified advertising for your business or family is typically much cheaper than buying print, radio or TV ads. And we offer all to place their ads for free now, a nice bonus. You typically won't need to spend time creating your ad yourself or pay for the services of a creative agency. Placing beVermont ad is usually as easy as typing the copy. You may even skip your contact details, they are already in!

In Charge

Users of beVermont and especialy people who place ads are in charge. They decide they need to post an ad. Ok. After that they prepare it and write it, decide to which category to place it, what information to leave visible and what not, when to start it and when to stop it. And how to reach me! Then they make it go live. All is in their charge. It's very simple and in your absolute charge. The ad needs to work for them, so they need to write it well. If something is missing, it can also serve as the place to learn how to do it better.

There is also nothing to worry about. You need to place an ad, so you put it together and post it and hope it will work out. If it does not, you can try to figure out where was the mistake and how to fix it.

Reach

For business, classified ads at beVermont allows you to stay focused on the areas you do business in and reach people who are likely to buy your goods or services. For personal ads, you need to sell or buy item or service and it takes you very little time to place your ad or read beVermont content. If it were without our service, one would need to travel somewhere, call somebody, visit some places, negotiate ... we are talking about many hours and dollars. Imagine that same time spent on beVermont and you have a perfect solution.

When you advertise specific item, you need to place ads in publications that cover the locations you need and whose readers may be your potential buyers. It's risky to try to sell bicycle in paper that sells mostly to retired people and you can imagine many other impossible options. beVermont includes all categories in all counties and towns we cover, you never have to wonder if it's a good option.

Access

Radio and television advertising works, but it's not in front of potential customers all the time. If somebody needs to talk to a plumber, they're not going to turn their radio on and wait until they hear an ad for plumber. Or they are not going to walk to the store and buy a newspaper and look for an ad for plumber. beVermont's access is what most folks need. It's always on, it's always at home and the price is ok. It covers our entire area with towns and villages.

Contact

Some online classified services make it complicated to contact potential customers or vice versa. We have done our work and make it very easy for all of us. Each ad at beVermont comes with contact information, if its author chose to include it. Email, phone number and location can be posted automatically if you choose to do that. And of course any ad can include any extra contact information in its text, it's all up to its author.

Other Pluses

Its low cost when compared to other forms of advertising is important. It allows small and medium businesses to effectively advertise their products or service. And for non-business ads it is obviously easy when it does not empty the wallets.

Our advertisement system also has a very wide reach. Classified ads placed in newspapers or magazines can be seen by newspaper readers, but classified ads placed at beVermont will be seen by every visitor. Ads are short and simple, they are easy to create. No need for copywriters to write it!

Success

This is just a page with some copy. We hope it helps, but your effort is up to you, this is just a tool to help you. What if you place an ad and get someone to contact you? Asking questions, interested. He or she is almost there. You make a deal, close it, meet and shake hands. Sounds good? You don't have to thank us, use beVermont again and we hope it helps you. Again and again.

Help

You made beVermont to help you. Thank you! You will do your best to make it work for you again. We'll be there for you. If you can do something in return, tell your friends, your family, classmates or coworkers. beVermont is not a tool to keep in secret, it works best with more people in. Those who need to sell, who are looking to buy, or trade, or meet others.

Disadvantages

But to be honest, it's not all fun and easy, we have some minuses.

Some skill set is needed. Minor and simple, but it's there. One needs to be able to use computer or tablet or phone and for some it's too difficult. For some folks it can be tough to read from their screens and monitors. It's easier than newspaper, but still place to improve.

Sometimes you find some ad and are very interested. But you decide to give it some time. Then the next day you go back and want to contact ad's author ... but you can't find the ad. You lost it, did not bookmark it, made no notes. Or its author took it down, or sold to someone else while you were waiting. It happens too. It's good to be patient, but sometimes it's better not to wait.

Not everyone has internet access. They cannot be regular users of beVermont. They may use it in libraries, schools, workplaces, but home is home. Just a few people, but we can't get 100%.

Censorship can become an issue. We don't like it but some visitors will take advantage of this and may try to publish what they would not print on newspaper. We uphold our freedoms, but this ad vehicle is for access by everybody, so it needs to behave. There will be little kids and older folks out there and we (and you) will want them to feel comfortable here. It's good for all of us. What if someone tries to do something illegal? Sell drugs?

Comparison

Paper, internet, TV, radio - overall we are much better off. Vermont has population of about 650,000, much more with neighboring counties. All of them can get access to beVermont. In the morning, afternoon or at night. Our system can handle half a million people or more every day. But when we get just 1,000 or 10,000, they don't worry about last game in Montreal, they all read or post ads. The most popular newspapers in Vermont have circulation estimated from 5,000 to 9,000 prints per day, although their numbers vary from under 10,000 to almost 50,000 per day. Usually more on Sundays. But is every reader reading classifieds? Are all papers available everywhere? What is your chance as an advertiser?

Chance is there, but. Say the paper prints 6,000 copies, all are delivered or sold. And let's say 10% of people who open the paper read classifieds start to finish. And there are 2 persons per each copy. Ideal scenario for paper classifieds. So here we have 1,200 people reading all classifieds. If your ad is there and you get a call, you've been very lucky. beVermont is a new name with no long tradition and big company supporting it. But getting 1,200 visitors per day out of 650,000 can happen. Some have no internet, some are kids, some can't read well, but - we are ready, we are available everywhere, far beyond Burlington, Rutland and Montpelier.
