More newspapers are turning to Classified Concepts, a
division of Maps.com, to enhance their classified sections and boost
ad sales. Classified Concepts, a leading provider of ad solutions for
the classified industry, signed 9 new papers in Q1 2006, including
Dallas Morning News, one of the largest newspapers in the country with
circulation around 700,000.
Classified Concepts, now entering its third year, already produces over $8 million annually for more than 30 newspapers. Its success lies in a fresh approach to print and online classified sections, providing easy to read locator maps for ad listings such as Open Homes and Garage Sales. The result is a valuable resource for readers and premium ad space for advertisers.
"We've been receiving phone calls from our readers asking when the garage sale maps are going to run again," says Michelle Ackerman, Call Center Director for the Denver Newspaper Agency. Ackerman also says that they have not only seen "increases in revenue, especially in the ad count line," but that the Garage Sale Locator Program has helped to bolster declining readership.
The key to Classified Concepts' innovative approach is that it is a turnkey product with a quick turnaround time, generating incremental revenue. With new newspapers taking advantage of its programs early in 2006, Classified Concepts continues to grow by developing even more revenue generating classified ad solutions for the newspaper industry.
