Include photos and videos #
Ads with photos and videos get far more responses than those that don’t! It goes without saying, but clean up the item first – photos of a messy toy or dirty clothes aren’t going to be appealing to anyone… And try to get pictures of the baby item fully set up too, so people know what they’re getting.
Give it a catchy title #
A descriptive title like ‘xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx’ or ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXX’ will always be more enticing than ‘Jumperoo For Sale’. People will be scrolling through pages of ads full of titles and tiny photos, so make yours stand out.
Make the most of the description #
This is your chance to say why your item is so great – so tell them about the item, how you use it, how clean it is and anything else that’s useful. Before you place your ad, have a look at a few others and see which you’d respond to if you needed to buy the same item.
Don’t just sell the item, sell its benefits… #
Whoever buys your item will obviously need it for their baby or be giving a loved one as a present, so give them all the items that come with the item – tell them how to use it or store away and mention other benefits like a XXXXXX.
Update your ad #
You don’t have to wait 28 days for your ad to expire before you update it. Go back in and change things whenever you like – this will bump your ad back up the listings, and keep it current. Changing or adding more photos will help keep your ad fresh.
Take your time #
Doing a good job first time round is a far better approach than blasting your ad out in five minutes. Browse other ads for inspiration, and do your research on what’s attractive about your area
