Cariblot.com is a free advertising site for the Caribbean Islands.
Cariblot.com - The Free Advertising Website
Cariblot.com is a unique website that offers free advertising opportunities exclusively dedicated to the residents of the Caribbean Islands. Established in June, 2006, the website is a valuable resource for people and businesses who want to buy any type of product or service, or want to get information about community activities in the Caribbean Islands. The fact that the website is 100% free both for the people and organizations who want to advertise as well as the consumers or the constituents of these products and companies makes it one of the very few websites throughout the world that adhere to this model. Besides, focusing on the Caribbean Islands makes it highly targeted, both for the people looking as well as the service providers. Instead of visiting a so-called mainstream shopping website, to find out, only after a prolonged search for a product or service that the service provider is not actually providing this service in your area, you can simply visit Cariblot.com and find out the company that is offering the service next door.
How was the Website Started?
The website was started by Mark Tait, who was born in New Jersey, but his parents are from Jamaica. He visits the Caribbean from time to time and therefore has a pretty good idea of the Caribbean markets and how people usually go about when they have to buy something. A couple of years ago, he was in Jamaica with his cousin who was looking to buy a car. In the Caribbean, most people use classified ads in the newspaper when they have to buy something. Mark thought it would be a good idea to have an online place for the people in the Islands to make transactions. He started Cariblot.com in 2006, which has now grown to be a valuable resource for people looking to buy or sell something online. Most of the website traffic today comes from the Caribbean, especially Aruba, though people from as far away as the Netherlands have also used the site.
Features of the Website
The fact that Caribolt.com is a 100% free classified advertising site means that it is offering highly targeted and refined advertising tools, not only to the large companies but also to the small companies and individuals who are in need of what they have to offer. Whether it's a home or a property, or simply an announcement of an event, you can always reach the people who are searching for it. Besides, since the overhead charges are literally zero, companies have an opportunity to offer their products at lower cost, which in turn passes the benefits onto the consumers of these products.
For a website of this breadth and scope, it's vital that the information remains easy to find so that the vast amount of useful information does not prove to be counterproductive by overwhelming the user. Caribolt.com clears this criteria in flying colors, as it is very user-friendly and easy to navigate. All the Caribbean Islands are listed to the left side of the home page. Each Island and location has its own listings complete with categories and subcategories. Looking for a place to rent in Mexico? Find it here with a full description including amenities. Prices are listed in the description along with a contact phone number or email which lets you know straight away where to go if you want to buy a certain product. Newly posted ads are displayed on the Home page for random Islands.
Account Creation not Required
Unlike other similar websites, Cariblot.com doesn't force its readers to create an account on the website in order to view the classifieds. However, as a measure against the misuse of the website, account creation has been been necessary for people who want to post an ad. This makes sure that only people who are genuinely interested in reaching their audience post ads on Cariblot.com.
Categories
Many listings for items like unlocked cell phones, cars, boats, cameras, property, clothing, and puppies are found on Cariblot.com. This is also a great place to advertise a business that is located in the Caribbean Islands. People can easily navigate from one Island to another to find a specific need or business listing in that area.
Posting an Ad
Caribbean residents can list things that they want to sell, or advertise their business, by going to the "Post An Ad" tab on the Home Page. There are many categories from which to choose: Community, Services, For Sale, Personals, Real Estate, Resumes, Jobs and Entertainment. Next up is to list the location where these items are available. These items can then be listed as "Offered for Sale", "Wanted", "Private" and "Business". Then you add the title of the ad along with the description, including the price; also add the URL that will take the consumer directly to the item. Contact with the seller can be made either by telephone or email. Adding images to the advertising would be advantageous both for the seller and the buyer. Four photos are allowed for each posting. Even though Cariblot.com is 100% free, all providers have to register to be able to post an ad. Contact with the person who posted the ad is done by clicking on the envelope icon next to the reference number listed on the advertisement. All business is to be completed in person. There is no place to complete transactions on the website.
Community Activities
Although most of the site is geared toward buying or selling items, Cariblot.com can also be used for sending out community activity notices, subsequently reaching a larger geographic area. This in turn will produce the desired result.
