A new Internet service launched January 1 that offers a unique classified-advertising method combining newspapers and the Internet. AddaPix.com allows sellers to create online ads, with up to six pictures and detailed descriptions, to promote items for sale, hold virtual garage sales or conduct online auctions. To drive buyers to the online ads, sellers are given Web-links to place in their classified and display ads.
"It's the perfect marriage between newspapers and the Internet," said AddaPix.com cofounder Bob Hunter. "Sellers now have a very inexpensive, simple and effective way to promote online."
Sellers pay $7.50 for three-week listings, of which $5.00 goes to participating newspapers. The service does not charge a commission, or final value sale, like eBay. Newspapers that sign up to participate with AddaPix.com gain a new source of revenue, without having to build elaborate websites and databases, according to Hunter.
Sellers can find participating newspapers at AddaPix.com. They place their printed ads, get their web-links and then go online to create their listings. Or, they can go to AddaPix.com, create their listings and get their web-links. They then go to any newspaper to place ads with the links.
