Q - How can I build the best possible ad on Owners Selling Businesses? - The best way to build a showcase quality ad on Owners Selling Businesses is by previewing the ad you are editing so that you can see what the prospect sees.
Here are a few other tips.

• Remember to carefully choose your ad title. The title you use for your ad is the first thing a prospect will see when searching our network. The title you use for your ad may be up to 80 characters long and the title you choose for your ad is also used to optimize your ad for the search engines.
  

  • Try to use a title which is also a search term someone would use on the search engines to find the type of property you are selling.

  • Try to use whole words and not abbreviations. Use proper spacing and try to keep your title as succinct as possible.

  • Try to mention what you are selling as well as where the property is located. (City & State)
    

• The description fields of the pictures you upload are displayed under the photos when they are selected from the left hand column. This effectively creates a different page for each picture you upload to Owners Selling Businesses. You can load up to 7 pictures. Pick photos which feature different aspects of your property for sale and then use this description field to highlight the feature you want to promote.
  

• Use photos in your ad which are smaller than 640 pixels wide and 1000 pixels high. The system will accept pictures of any size, but it automatically resizes any picture larger than the described maximum size limits. In resizing a picture it may become grainy or less clear. If you resize the photos which exceed these maximum limits using an image editor on your computer your pictures will remain crisp and clear. This is not a major issue as the resizing software used on the network does a really good job but it is especially important when adding a text overlay to a picture. When adding text to a photo it is best to resize the photo to less than 640x1000 pixels before applying text to a photo with your image editing program.
  

• Use bolded words and line breaks to highlight the best features of your ad. The system allows for the use of what are called 'HTML Tags' in text fields. This means that if you wish to make a word or phrase appear bolded you would surround that selected text with bold tags.
  
  e.g. This is the bolded phrase would force the phrase to be bold in the ad when previewed on the network. 'This is the bolded phrase' - becomes - This is the bolded phrase.

  • Bold = Bold

  • Italics = Italics

  • Underline = Underline

  • You can also use them together - Highlighted Text = Highlighted Text

  • Don't forget to put the ending tags in place so that the effects end where you want them to.

    • You can also use a
      tag to force a line-break any where in your ad.

    • Clicking your 'Enter' key will also create a line-break in your ad.

• Contact us anytime you have a question or need assistance in building your ad.
