There are some helpful tips for selling a new litter of kittens or puppies, or some newborn birds on your local or even national free classifieds sites.

Target the best prospects

Do you sell hunting dogs? Easter bunnies? Remember to place your ads in the most relevant categories, even if that means creating multiple ads for different or even different pets. Look at other ads, if you see a cool look or pattern in an ad, use it to fix yours.

big headlines

One of the biggest problems with advertising is, of course, competition. What your competition does almost always affects your own business, at least to some degree. Take an idea or two from your competitors’ snappy and original headlines and come up with a few of your own. A headline can definitely make or break a classified ad.

Keep your body short

Keep your ad short but packed with information. Describe the type of animal, any distinguishing characteristics you know pet owners are looking for, and provide a phone number. Half the job is done if you can get them to call or email with a pet inquiry. The good part is that most pet owners take their responsibilities seriously, once someone is in the market for a puppy, they have already prepared to commit and are likely to do so as soon as possible.

Monitor your ads

Need a way to control which ads work and which don’t? Try using a different email address for different ads, this way when one ad seems to blow the others out of the water, you can always go back, review it to see what made it so winning, and emulate it in future ads.

All of these methods can help you create effective ads to sell a litter of fur babies ready to relocate.
