In earlier times, when there were no classifieds, people had a harrowing time in selling or buying things. But they could still manage as the population was small, and most people knew each other. Word of mouth worked wonders, and if the product was of good quality, the word reached fast to a large section of the population. But it was a time consuming process, and one could not think of reaching out to the masses in a jiffy. Necessity is the mother of invention, they say, and so appeared the classifieds in the print media like newspapers. These classifieds carried information about the products and people came to know about them quickly as in a news starved nation, newspapers served as the only medium which provided the latest info to the people. In came TV, and soon people started to use it as a medium to spread awareness about their products and services.
