Newspaper Advertising - Can Print Advertising Sell Your Home

What Kind of responce can I expect from newspaper advertising and is it really worth the cost. Should the realtor pay for the adds or can I expect the seller to pick up the tab.

There are many different kinds of newspaper adds, for instance would an Open house add actually bring visitors and if it did I would need to hold the home advertised open. Maybe not the best use of time ?

Should I include a picture or Maybe 2 or 3 line adds might work better. And should selling the home advertised really be the goal ? HELP!

I think the newspapers are a waste of money; most of my visitors come from the signs.

Most of my visitors for Open Houses come from the signs. I think the paper media is slowly dying.

Most will tell you it's not worth it anymore. Our company does a multi-page full color pullout, but our ads have pictures, these aren't the little 3-line classifieds. So, ours do work - but they aren't your usual ad.

Personally, I think print copy is a waste of money.

The content you have provided is pretty interesting and useful and I will surely take note of the point you have made in the blog.

While I was browsing the Internet for ways to boost my website exposure, I read about how effective offline media is for getting additional exposure. Since online media advertising has become so competitive, I thought I will complement the online marketing efforts of my products with offline media advertising like newspaper and magazine advertising. This can be the best way to get a wider coverage for a website and draw additional traffic. I think it is a great marketing strategy to use both online and offline advertising to get more customers.

I thought this information might be useful for anyone looking for solutions to get more traffic to their website.
