Introduction
Advertising on the internet has never been so easy.
– right?
Yes advertising on the internet is easy but to have an effective advertisement – one that attracts attention and gets a user to do something is quite another thing.
Below you will find out how to create an advertisement on kijiji that will do both of these things whether it be phone you up for a quote, sign up for your newsletter or purchase goods or services on your website.

Ad Title
Your Ad Title is one of the first things your prospect will see about you along with your first image and first two sentences of your description.
This makes it a top priority in your ad development process.
The Ad Title needs to both summarize your key offer and why your prospect should find out more. This all needs to be done within 64 characters (including spaces) so you need to be concise yet be creative enough to capture your prospects’ attention.
For our fictitious plumber that we will call Brandan Johnson we could use the following:
Get your plumbing problem fixed without breaking the bank.

Tags
When a kijiji user types in a phrase such as “plumbing” this is where your tags come into play. Tags are what kijiji users type into the search bar to search for the desired ads on kijiji.
For Brandan we will enter the following tags:
- plumber
- plumbing
- plumbing services
- household repairs
- handyman
Address
kijiji requires at least your postal code so that it can determine where to post your ads on their website.
Media
YouTube Video
Having a YouTube video is an excellent way to entice prospects to use your services or purchase your products.
With a YouTube video Brandan could:
- Introduce himself to his prospects
- Showcase projects he’s worked on
- Have people give him testimonials
- Create instructional videos for how to complete simple plumbing repairs
- Create informative videos that show what are some problem signs to look for
It is not required to have a YouTube video to advertise on kijiji.
Website URL
The website URL feature is a great way to get prospects to go to your website. This link is displayed prominently on the right hand side of your listing just below the “contact” section.
So paying the $ 4.95 fee makes a lot of sense to make it easy for prospects to reach your website and continue their purchasing path towards you and not your competition.
Phone Number
Email Address
kijiji requires that you give them an email address where prospects can contact you.
The emails that you will receive from your ads come directly from kijiji not your prospects. This allows you to determine if the person attempting to contact you is genuinely interested in your business or is attempting to spam you.
In Closing
This is all the requirements that kijiji has to advertise on their website.
I hope that you have found some use in this post.
