Craigslist Post on Darren Yaneza’s Blog

@ Darren Yaneza’s Blog

My classmate recently wrote a post about craigslist in their blog. The link is above if you want to view what he wrote! Darren mentionsin his post that people can market practically anything on craigslist for other users to view. This has recently peeked my interest more then usual because my family just recently sold our house and we are looking for a place to market some of the furnature we have. The first place that I suggested to my parents was craigslist. It is a great place to advertise old items that you would want to sell. As Darren mentions the 4p’s are clearly exposed to the users when using cragistlist. The product and price are clearly displayed and you know the “place” on how to contact the seller if you are interested in the product. In addition, the “place” is acutally really accessible because anyone who has access to a computer and internet can go on craigslist to find things they want to sell or buy. The promotion basically takes care of itself, as craigslist is already well known and has many users. Craigslist has allowed many users to interact with eachother on a C2c (consumer to consumer) style. This is brilliant because if you have older things, its usually not easy to sell them. The stores definitely don’t want them. The alternative before the exsistence of craigslist was garage sales. However, craigslist is superior to garage sales in many ways, in terms of the p, place and promotion. Craigslist wins hands down. For a garage sale, maybe only people around the neighbourhood would know about your garage sale and then they have to travel to your house to look at the items. However craigslist is much more accessible and much more convinent for users.
