Yes! Here’s why: The true value of classified ads is the fact that the turn around time is so incredibly fast. Meaning you can place your classified ad in a newspaper today, and have your ad published by tomorrow. Some times it takes 2 or 3 days to be published, but either way, that’s still much faster than most other forms of advertising.
Magazine ads generally take around 3 months from the time they receive your ad to the time they publish it. Yikes! That’s a long time! Even a classified ad in a magazine will take around 3 months. Local newspaper classifieds and national weekly newspapers are the only type that have a fast turn-around. USA Today is an example of a national newspaper that can get your ad in within about 1 week. And I have had good luck with USA Today.
