Anyone ever put an Ad on Craigslist and try it?

Yes. A Few. Got spammed to death. Mine was short, maybe a few paragraphs.

If you try it, use a unique email so you can track your results (and spam).

Funny you post that. I was just thinking about that prior to seeing this post. I guess it can't hurt to try (other then all the spam), but what's the odds people are searching a keyword such as "insurance" on craigslist.

I've tried hiring an assistant on there, with the amount of folks looking for jobs, I got some good resumes and such.

For selling FE it is useless as I placed several different FE ads in several different locations/headings of Craigs List and got 1 call. She had to think about it situation.

For hiring FE agents the caliber is kinda weak.

Craig's List is a good place to sell a car but I doubt it with insurance but the price is right for advertising so why not.

I put up several ads for commercial insurance in MA and NH.
Tried to specialize it towards markets like contractors, landscapers, etc.
After several months...besides a ton of spam to the blind email....I got 1 call from a contractor who was trying to insure his tools that had been stolen a month before.

I don't know if this ties in or not but I've been selling several cars lately. The used cars that have been in the higher price range ($21,000 and $28,000) got no calls off Craigs List but sold well on eBay.

When I listed a car for $7,000 I got a million calls from Craigs List and sold it in 1 day.

It seems like Craigs List is attracting lower end buyers at least in my limited experience.

An ad, as in one (1) ad?

Oh no that will not cut it on Craigslist.

You need to put up several ads every day in many cities to give it a real try.

I haven't advertised on CL for insurance, but have sold other things on there. Lots of call volume and response, but also a lot of spam to put up with. Let us know if it works for insurance.
