(ADV) Shoot when the ducks are flying There's an old saying in advertising, "Shoot when the ducks are flying." It's about timing. Offer to sell when most people are shopping for that item. That's why South Central Kentucky's liveliest marketplace, the CM Classifieds, have such a high turnover during the Christmas Holidays. People are shopping for every possible item, from good used hunting equipment, to musical instruments, to games, clothes, even first wheels for beginning drivers. If you're selling, look first in Want to Buy. You may already have a customer for an item. During this season, we hope you'll start at the top of the Classifieds and thumb through "Adair County Christmas." Check out the Christmas Cards and scroll down from there.
