AD2AD doesn’t cost — it saves.

For most, AD2AD cuts costs in half.

When you add up all the steps involved, each classified ad takes a lot of time.
In fact, the average manual phoned-in classified order takes 10 minutes

  • Create a customer record and transcribe an ad
  • Manage billing or process a credit card
  • Handle scheduling
  • Format the ad for printing,  and proofread/spell check the ad

AD2AD cuts that process down to 5 minutes or less.

  • An increase in the number of ads — typically at least 15-20%
  • An increase in length of individual ads placed by customers — typically 15-20%
  • An increase in print upsells — customers are 40% more likely to buy a print upsell when they buy online — typically adding $1 - $2 on 20% of customer placed ads. (You of course, decide what to charge for these)
  • Web-only upsells on customer placed ads — typically adding $1 - $2 on 20% of customer placed ads. (You of course, decide what to charge for these)

AD2AD’s Simple Pricing Model:

Pay only for what you use.

With AD2AD, you pay a single flat fee per ad. You pay only when you use the system.

 

That’s it.

 

No setup fees. No maintentance fees. No training fees. No tech support fees. No minimum fees.

 

A whole lot of free

10 free ads/month  (free means no AD2AD fees to you!)

Free ads you run for press associations, etc (CAN ads, etc)

Free ads upon request for special promotions you want to run

All your “legacy” ads — ads you have running when you start the system are free. You only pay for new ads once the system is up and running.

 

We price based on OUR costs — not your revenue.

Our flat fee applies whether you get $5 or $500 for your ad. It’s not a percentage — it’s a flat fee. You always know your costs.

 

How we set pricing

We don’t quote a price until we’ve had a chance to show you a live, personalize system and work with you. You’ll find out if AD2AD does what you need. We’ll find out about you and your business — and better understand your needs and the sort of support you’ll require.

 

We start with a base estimate— currently $.86 — and adjust based on a variety of pricing factors.

 

Our minimum price is $.46, the maximum is $1.26. Once we understand your needs and our pricing parameters, we’ll make a completely arbitrary judgment call — one we have to live with, since your price stays the same whether we guess right or wrong — and quote an exact price.

 

 

“Like getting a Ferrari
for the price of a skateboard.”
