Why should you consider placing an ad with Mid-Iowa Equine?
1.) Interested parties can view pictures of your horse rather than just reading the text in a newspaper ad. This results in more serious buyer contacts and this saves you time. 2.) Mid-Iowa Equine is advertising your horse 24 hours a day for an extensive stretch of time to a much larger market than a local paper. 3.) Mid-Iowa Equine runs a variety of other ads for you! We place ads in a variety of local publications and on other internet sites. This saves you a lot of money and a lot of time. Every ad we place directs potential buyers back to our site where they can view all the horses that we have offered for sale. 4.) We can customize an advertising package just for your needs! You tell us what you need and want, and we'll try to make it happen for you. 5.) Mid-Iowa Equine does NOT charge a commission like an auction. 6.) Mid-Iowa Equine is usually less expensive than a one time ad in a local newspaper.
COMMON QUESTIONS:
What sets your site apart from the other sites? Other sites let you place an ad with them, sometimes even for free, but that's where their service ends. At Mid-Iowa Equine, we offer so much more than that. We will place your ad on our site with pictures (more than 1) and place text ads for you on the other websites, plus we will also be running ads locally, regionally, and nationally in printed publications.
I don't have a computer, so what benefit would I get from using this service? Mid-Iowa Equine provides personalized service! We will include whatever contact method you prefer in your ads. We can also collect your emails for you (see Bonus Service on price sheet).
Has Mid-Iowa Equine been proven to sell horses? Yes! We are brand new, but have sold several horses already. We've sold most to out-of-state buyers. We've had several inquiries from outside of the US also. We are establishing a base of buyers who are watching our site waiting for the right horse to be advertised. We have several interested buyers right now looking for broke horses.
Where does Mid-Iowa Equine place ads? We place ads on a variety of internet sites. Some are free text ads, some are paid text ads, and some are photo ads. We run both personalized ads (just like you would place yourself) and general ads (directing people to our site for a variety of horses). We also will be running ads in local, regional, and national publications as our data base grows.
What improvements are planned for the site? We are also working on adding farm pages for people to advertise their horse business. A message board is also in the works for everyone to chat about their horses. We are also very open to ideas from our members! Just let us know what else you would like to see on this site and we can see what we can do to make it happen.
