Show ClassiPhone services Davis and Salt Lake Co. 3y JAMS STUART ClassiPhone, a new business servicing ser-vicing Davis and Salt Lake Counties that provides classified advertising services via telephone, went into operation recently at 4455 S. 700 E., Salt Lake City. Rod Morris and Chad Morris, founders of the company, have been developing the concept for the past six months and according to their research have found it to be the only business of its kind in the country. The company offers three basic services; 1) classified ads that list any item ranging from vehicles, homes and employment opportunities oppor-tunities to items selling for under $400, 2) find ads in which ClassiPhone looks for the wanted item and notifies the person when it is found, and 3) services ads which are like yellow-page ads listing available services in an unlimited number of categories for a monthly subscription fee. The service is free to inquirers and information will be read over the phone, mailed or faxed to the interested in-terested party. ClassiPhone s operators have access to a computer that searches for items according to parameters defined by the caller. For example, the system will list all American made, red cars under $6,000 that are no more than three years old. There is virtually no restriction on the length of the ad, allowing the seller to include a complete description descrip-tion of the item thus eliminating unwanted callers. Ads start and stop immediately when ClassiPhone is notified, and there is no charge for minor changes. According to Rod Morris, " The nice thing about ClassiPhone is that you talk to a person, not a computer. com-puter. You tell us what you are looking for or selling, and we do all the work. We give you a list of exactly ex-actly what you want. ' Marketing efforts are targeting the Salt Lake and Davis County areas. |
