SummarySummaryIn

the

early

2000s,

there

was

a

significant

shift

in

the

advertising

strategies

forclassifieds.

Offline

classifieds

advertising

was

once

the

most

popular

and

effectiveadvertising

strategy.

For

example,

people

used

classifieds

in

newspapers

to

lookfor

local

deals.

However,as

the

digital

era

has

progressed,

digital

classifieds

havesurpassed

all

classifieds

categories

(real

estate,

automotive,

jobs,

and

general)due

to

reduced

costs,

shorter

processing

times,

higher

return

on

investment,

andmore

precise

targeting.(digital

banner,

digital

video,

search,

and

social

media

advertising),

althoughit

stillshowed

a

positive

trend.

The

cost

of

digital

classifieds

advertising

is

significantlylower

compared

to

other

strategies,

andit

keeps

advertisers

focused

on

thebusiness

andits

location

to

target

consumers

who

are

more

likely

to

make

apurchase.

With

these

advantages,

digital

classifieds

advertising

is

expected

tocontinuedeveloping

in

the

coming

years.Moreover,

technology

has

experienced

significant

developments

in

the

past

years,resulting

in

changed

usage

behavior

by

both

the

advertisers

and

their

targetaudiences.

Internet-enabled

devices

have

become

everyday

products

for

manypeople,

and

the

internet

infrastructure

has

become

faster

and

more

affordable.Therefore,

digital
