For more than a decade, USA4SALE has been a leader in the dynamic industry of local online advertising. Now the unique business model behind the flagship Ocala4sale.com is being offered as an Internet franchise from USA4SALE Franchising, LLC.

“This an exciting time in online media,” according to Dirk Leeward, President of USA4SALE Franchising, LLC. “We’re committed to building a network of community classified sites that bring local experience and commitment to local online advertising.”

“As classified advertising has moved online, that genuinely local experience that was once the domain of newspapers has been lost,” Leeward said. “National websites lack the kind of local experience and connection that is the hallmark of a community marketplace. The USA4SALE model puts the local back into local online advertising.”

BIA / Kelsey recently reported that by 2014 nearly a quarter of local advertising will be spent online. Growth in local online advertising is projected to grow as traditional media fall behind. The USA4SALE franchise model includes free basic listings for local sellers, enhanced listings for individuals and small businesses, inventory management, display advertising and network advertising.
