What iPublish Classified is
iPublish Classified is web-based, white-label classified advertising software for newspaper publishers. Private advertisers and call center representatives can enter ad orders, then preview print ads during creation and make separate digital ads with photos or images. Advertisers can personalize copy and imagery, with fonts and photos sized automatically. Publishers can set an unlimited number of categories and subcategories, control which design elements advertisers may change, and establish rules for when and how often ads run. Ads can be published immediately to a newspaper’s website, and the product supports print and digital listings. iPublish Marketplace manages digital listings in areas such as pets, garage sales, and recreation. Real estate ads can combine photos, logos, QR codes, borders, and shading in one workflow. Advertisers can register and manage their own ads, including pickups, change orders, and kills. The offering also includes print and digital liners and Facebook campaigns. It integrates with most billing systems and identifies the Edmonds database for transportation listings and Monster campaigns for recruitment. Pricing is on request.
