Ads noticeboards

hoody

Hi all,

I recently started working for a free ads paper that lets anyone put in a classified ad for free. As well as people contacting us to put in ads, we also canvas ads by ringing numbers off noticeboards, where people have an item for sale. We don't and indeed aren't allowed to publish the ad without consent from the seller.

To this end, I was just wondering where around town would have noticeboards with these kind of ads on them? I know Dunnes & Tesco have one, as well as Supervalu, but the more I know of, the better. Any suggestions?

Mods - if this is inappropriate, please remove with my apologies. I did check the charter but as this is a free service (of what admittedly is a commercial enterprise), and I haven't named the paper or linked to the company website, I reasoned that it should be ok. If I'm wrong in that reasoning, again, my apologies.

If people want to answer and help, fair enough, just please don't repost or bump.

Ok can't resist, sorry! Was in The 'controversial location' Dunnes, a week or so ago over in the fruit and veg section when they were stocking. A pile of huge boxes were there with 'Dunnes Stores - Rahoon Branch' stencilled on the side. While marketing may have gotten the 'shh, we call it Knocknacarra' now memo, obviously not every dep did! Lol!

Back on topic, OP, you may want to try Community centres like Westside. A lot of smaller newsagents have them too.

Only other ones I can think of are the veg shop in the Eyre Sq Centre and the Vets on St Marys Rd depending on who you are trying to sell to.
There is also one of the newsagents in Eyre Sq has a board but Im fecked if I can remember which one (thats gonna keep me awake all night now).
Best of luck!
