Display is relevant if you have a product/service to sell and you want to increase sales/footfall immediately or are interested in raising brand awareness for your company’s products/services.

Display adverts usually appear in the news/sports/listings sections of the newspaper.

There will be a mixture of unrelated display adverts on these pages.

 

The classified section of Metro is separated into different headings or 'classifications'.

These classifications are: property, jobs, education, travel & general.

A classified advert is one that has been designed to appear under a specific heading in this section.

You should place an ad in this section if you want your advertisement to appear in a categorised section with other similar adverts.

Advertisers use classified sections to sell a product or service for direct results.
