Home buyers find it easier to look for a property in the web. And i agree with Vikas there are research that proves that properties sold are from internet home buyers.

The classifieds are not an option - which area do we advertise? Stagers don't get the commissions that REALTORS do (believe me, this is not an area of controversy - most REALTORS earn every penny and most are constantly bombarded with everything that takes $$ out of their pocket) but our incomes equate to pennies on the dollar compared to REALTOR commissions. If newspapers want to attract new advertisers, then give us some rates we can accept. Even if it is less than their "regular rates" something is better than nothing. Small businesses can advertise, but many opt out due to the policies and pricing, normally directed at large budget companies.

It seemed that about 4-5 years ago this was not the case and that online advertising has reached a pinacle...but now more and more people are migrating their dollars to online for good reason. Just this morning I was reading an article about NBC and its woes with their newspapers under their umbrella. Time will tell. I am seeing more and more articles on this topic of late.

The hard part still is to convince your sellers that the print world is not the most effective means to advertise a property. Good agents will ultimately do a good sales job with their clients to educated them about this new reality.

People here know that the newspaper has very up-to-date ads--having some listings in those can generate great weekend activity. There is also a large # of retired people with interest in our market. As we know many folks of the older generations still love print. It's the monthly prints that do us least good and the daily and weekly ads the generate the most phone calls. The internet is a great tool, but in a vacation/retirement area not everyone drags their laptops with them. Print still has a place in Deadwood South Dakota.

As online use has increased, the customers of older media have declined (i.e, newspaper).
