AD2AD

What AD2AD is

AD2AD is a cloud-based classified advertising system for community publications such as newspapers, shoppers, magazines, college newspapers, and association newsletters. It handles classified ads submitted by publication staff and web customers for print and online publication. Pricing can be calculated by words, lines, or characters, with discounts based on the number of runs. Customer entry tools include templates, photo uploads, upsells, printable receipts, and edits that wait for staff approval. The system also supports accounts receivable, emailed bills with online payment links, renewal emails, and optional automatic renewals. Publications can show classifieds in a website frame or add widgets for rotating ads and clickable category listings. Receivables data can be transferred through spreadsheet or QuickBooks output; Authorize.net is the exclusive payment gateway. Customers may use their own merchant account for daily direct deposits or choose AD2AD’s monthly settlement option. The maker says the system supports unlimited customers, ads, rates, and templates, and can accommodate virtually any publication schedule. Access is available through most browsers, and a backup server is available if the main server fails. There are no setup, maintenance, training, support, or minimum fees. Pricing is quoted after a personalized demo and assessment; the plan includes 10 free ads per month.
