I continuously look for websites that will help spread the word about our company and like any other entrepreneur, I seek for free ad placement services online first.  One free classified ads site that I’ve come across is AyosDito.ph.

The site was very simple and it didn’t look cluttered like most classified ads site I’ve come across in the past.  No screaming ads trying to beg for your attention at first glance.  Pretty good so far.   The first few things I looked at were ads within NCR.  I noticed there were a lot of entries on used cars, real estate and electronics.  The layout was pretty simple and the search bar was very helpful.  What I liked were the three tabs on top that gave a user an option to browse ads submitted by individuals and companies.

Since my objective was to place an ad for our three services, I searched for ads under the Services category and moved straight to the Company tab.  I was comparing these companies were showcasing their products.  I’ve noticed that the ads were listed based on the time it was submitted.  I thought, “This only gives me a few days, maybe even just hours before our ad is buried under a lot of new ads. It has to be a bit different to make it count.”

I read the rules and went on to post an ad about our latest product, Virtual Arena. The whole process was very simple. Clicking on the “Post an ad” link was all to it.  But, being a perfectionist, I wanted to make sure I get it right the first time. I immediately clicked on the customer service button to read the FAQs and looked for a phone number to call. Unfortunately there wasn’t any except for a contact form.  I was lucky to have acquired their number from someone who works at the company.

To make the long story short, the staff member was very helpful and patient to answer all my questions. Every piece of information was accurate and I was a very happy customer. Overall, the process of posting an ad just took me 5 minutes, considering all the content was ready to go. Including a password for the ad was a good idea in case I need to edit or delete the ad at any point. I waited for the confirmation from the email and in less than 30 minutes, the ad has been published.

I would like to take note that I told Jenny (staff who helped) about the phone number missing from the website and she didn’t give any excuses and told me she was going to suggest it to management.  Great job Jenny!

I intend to post more ads both for my company and as an individual with regards to my consultancy jobs in the future because of this experience.

If by any chance you try their service and need to contact them through phone, their hotline is 63.2.7522967. Let me know if you had the same experience or otherwise.  I’d love to hear your comments.
