Where Can Car Dealers Post Free Ads?
By Tom Catuosco
Selling cars is a competitive business. There’s always another dealership out there trying to undercut your prices or offering more incentives to be the guy who makes the sale. Like any highly competitive business, car dealers need to advertise...a lot. Advertising is an expensive, but necessary aspect of owning a car dealership. When there is an avenue to advertise cars for free, dealers should jump at the chance. More exposure at no cost is always better.
Until recently, Craigslist was very popular with car dealers who want free advertising. However, Craigslist announced that, starting the 3rd of December, they would charge $5.00 per ad for every car being sold by a dealership. There was a flurry of last minute ad posting by car dealers before the paid deadline, but Craigslist went ahead and deleted them. The message was clear - car dealers need to cough up cash if they wish to continue posting on Craigslist.
So what other websites are there where car dealers can advertise cars for free?
Well, you’re on one right now. TheRoadCode.com allows car dealers to post cars ads completely free of charge. You can post your entire inventory. Whether it’s 10 cars or 500 cars, it doesn’t matter. Each listing won’t cost you a dime. Your car ads on The Road Code can include detailed descriptions, photos, website links, and contact information. Buyers can easily contact you via our anonymous messaging system.
There are some other free classified sites that allow dealers to post cars for sale at no cost. While it’s good to get your cars listed on as many sites as possible, many of these other free sites are loaded with advertisements. The Road Code doesn’t place advertisements for anything else on your individual listing pages. When somebody reads your dealership’s car ad page on The Road Code, they won’t be bombarded with 50 other messages screaming for attention.
Free listings for your dealership’s cars that aren’t loaded down with cheesy ads, that’s a home run!
