the

early

2000s,

there

was

a

significant

shift

in

the

Offline

classifieds

advertising

was

once

the

popular

and

effectiveadvertising

strategy.

For

example,

people

used

classifieds

in

to

lookfor

local

deals.

However,as

the

digital

has

progressed,

digital

classifieds

havesurpassed

all
