Introducing Email 2 Ad

We've been working on a feature which allows you to send an email to a specific email address and the system will analyze the message and then convert it into an ad. It's so cool.

You can also attach files as long as they are from the following supported types/extensions :
jpeg,jpg,png,gif,bmp,tiff,psd,rtf,doc,txt,pdf,xls
It is important to know that the email address consists of a category ID and a city ID so make sure
you have selected your city.

Here are the instructions if you want to post an ad in St. Catharines

Please go to http://miniads.ca/ > Select a City > Help > Scroll down to "How to post an ad via email"

Give it a try and let us know.
