Instead of calling the classified department to request advertising space, advertisers can just access the Internet, and make and design their advertising content for themselves at The Nation's online classified market-place.

The Nation recently launched the largest classified market at http://www.nationmultimedia.com/classifieds/#1, to allow advertisers to place their advertisements online under a do-it-yourself concept.

After registering to be a member and getting a user ID and password, people can enjoy an easy way to make their own online advertisements at The Nation's online market.

Here they can enter the advertising content - plus pictures if needed - and the system will generate their advertising page automatically.

The site allows advertisers to place various kinds of categories, though only online advertisements for the miscellaneous-for-sale and miscellaneous-wanted categories will be free for seven days.

Each advertisement will be charged according to content, so advertisers can customise their message to suit their purposes.

Advertisers will be charged Bt380 per four lines, which includes the headline. The length of the content will be based on the column width in the hard copy of The Nation newspaper.

Advertisements with a photo or website link, as well as those placed online for the hard copy of The Nation, will be charged additional fees. All advertisements will be visible in the MarketPlace at The Nation Online for 60 days.
