EVENTS
CATS Classified organises events that give its regular in-paper advertisers the
opportunity to connect face-to-face with their prospective customers.
Advertisers interested in these events can buy an advertising and booth-space
package to showcase their brands and products to their customers and other
members of the public whom CATS Classified attracts to these events through
stage activities, contests, talks, lucky draws and more. Visitors keen on
specific products and services are also naturally drawn by the large number of
advertisers from the same or related industries gathered under one roof.
CATS Classified also generates in-paper publicity through feature write-ups
and advertisements, and press releases to the media, to create more buzz.
Some of the main events CATS Classified organises are:
Car-nival
An annual, one-day car-mart especially for regular Vehicles Classification
advertisers who sell new cars, pre-owned cars or vehicle accessories. Visitors
seeking great deals on cars are always drawn to Car-nival, while others come
for stage games and contests with attractive prizes, exciting vehicle-related
promotions,racequeencompetitions,andluckydrawsforbuyersandvisitors.

advertisers a chance to directly market their academic courses and
enrichment programmes to prospective students, in person. Additional
interest in the event is created by organising seminars or talks with topics that
would appeal to those who intend to further their education.
