Yes, I have to agree with you all about postlets. It looks like a great product. I think I try it out.

ClassifiedFlyerAds.com looks good too!

I have to agree with Cherie about postlets- it looks just as professional, and the pictures pop out more than the ads you see in Vflyer.

James Thomas: Who knew there are some many service possibilities? I’ve looked at ClassifiedFlyerAds.com website and don’t see how it might be photographer friendly, i.e., “multiple agent ads under 1 account”. Tell me more please.
Right now I think Cherie Irwin’s suggestion is the winner; even if it doesn’t met my “photographer friendly” criteria. PostLets requires separate accounts for each agent. Each must have a separate email to activate an account. I have a way around that if anyone’s interested.

I like postlets much better. Their “Plus” option allows you to upload to upload up to 18 photos in a much larger format. They are just $5/listing…or you can get 10 for $30, or 25 for $50. That’s not much, just add it into your fee for the design service…

I looked at vflyer when Larry first mentioned it and I’ve occasionally seen samples of their ads on craigslist. While Josh is right that you’ve got less options with photos than a regular craigslist ad, the appearance of the ad itself is professional enough and different enough from the standard craigslist ad that it makes me take notice.

I’d see a vFlyer ad as a portal rather than a destination - IOW, you use it to draw people to your MLS listing, YouTube video tour and/or single-property website rather than rely on it to do all the heavy lifting.

When I was trying to rent out my place, I tried using VFlyer but I wasn’t very satisfied with it. Good thing it was free, or I would have wanted my money back. Here’s the thing- it looks professional and all that, but the format doesn’t do justice to the pictures. You’ve got one bigger pic, and three smaller ones with VFLyer. But, if you uploaded a ad directly onto craigslist, you can put up four bigger pictures, not just one.

I agree w/ this for the most part and have kept these guys in the back of my head for incorporating into my services as well. My current site has a template for generating a flyer that fits typical print dimensions, but looks like crap, thus the appeal here.

Mike - good to know. What’s the cost of the agency addition service that you were quoted? I can see where that might work for a specific RE office, but yes, not necessarily for the photographer. Hrm…
