I've recently launched a reptile classifieds and I am looking to market it. So far I've been posting on forums and other classifieds (on one classifieds, within 24 houts of me posting my ad they introduced a new rule, "no advertising classifieds, EVER" hehe) but word is slow to get about. I've been offering free free advertising (each place I've advertised was given a unique coupon code allowing me to keep track of where people were coming from) but still people aren't too interested. I'm looking to buy banner space but every site in this niche really over values their ad space so it really isn't worth the money. Any ideas of other methods I can use?
Ah, if only there were local reptile shows. The good old RSPCA made sure we don't get any more local reptile shows I am however looking to market at what few shows there are in the country (4-5 a year or so), just got to wait for the next one
