Pearl asked:
As I look back at my classified ad for leasing an apartment, I feel that my ad is unique by the fact that I mention a meditating room. The general genre of classified ads has many factors that create the genre. For example, the classified ads could be online or on newspapers. I will focus my energy on the basic newspaper classified ads because it set the traditional format. Classified ads have a certain format and usually the ads lengths are short and straight to the point as well as a persuasive eye catching saying that a reader can call for more information.
The reason for the limited amount of words on the ads is due to the fact that writer is either charged by the amount of space or words, thus the writer have to be concise and persuasive get the attention of the audience. It is also easier for the reader to understand the general information for the place for rent insists of being bombard by too much unnecessary information. The sentence structure of classified ads is incomplete because it is to grab the reader attention with the amount of limited amount of space. The convention of the word bathroom become “BA” and bedroom become “BR” is the standard layout among the other for rent classified ads. By following the same convention, I show that I understand standard format within the genre of classified ads to my audience.
As a writer for classified ads, I must keep in mind that a reader who is looking through the ads because he/she has a need for the items or location. By my diction choice being informal, I convey personable interaction between the writer and the reader as if I, the writer, am shouting to the reader. That is the reason for my incomplete, informal, and exclamation mark to present to the reader. I clearly wanted to mention the location of my apt in the University District so that people who are looking at this ad can get an idea of which part of Seattle that this apt is located in and if it will suit their needs.
I tried to apply that uniqueness by mentioning a meditating room. This can be a part of a walk-in closet with another door to a small quiet space for mediating. I realize Seattle has a good market for yoga and mediating, and I hope that my ad can come across that market. By understand the genre of classified ads and effectively following the format, I hope to reach out to my target audience.
