More Exposure for Classy Classifieds

In the ‘good old days’, if you wanted to place a Classy Classified, you sent in your ad and payment by the 18th of the month and it would magically appear in the next month’s issue. Thanks to Al Gore, the internet has changed the way folks look for stuff to buy and sell. We may be ‘old skool’, but we do our best to change with the times, so we added Classies to our website, and even implemented — hold on to your seat — online ordering. But things change quickly in this ‘Lectronic Age, so we’ve updated the entire Classy Classified advertising system.

"I want to compliment you on the extremely easy process to place an ad — it was much simpler than I’d expected," said Gary Noland, the first person to use the new system. Not only is the new system much more user friendly but now you don’t have to wait for the next issue of the magazine for your ad to get exposure. Within a day or two of placing your Classy online, your ad — including a color photo, if you choose that option — will be added to our site. So if, for example, you placed your ad today, it would be live on our site by Friday. It would then appear in the May issue of the magazine and stay online all the way through May. That’s great exposure to our boat-friendly audience!

And don’t forget our free ad option. If you have a boat or gear that totals under $1,000, you can place a 40-word online-only ad at no charge. Keep in mind that this offer only applies to boats and gear for sale — regular rates apply to all other categories, as well as photos.
