Saver Source allows you to upload up to 4 images with each ad.Uploading multiple images of the item you're advertising allows you to show potential buyers exactly what you're offering and can be the difference in making a sale or not.Just because you can upload 4 pictures doesn't necessarily mean you should, and you should only upload images which directly relate to the item being advertised in that ad as uploading irrelevant images can easily confuse buyers.

The most successful ads are usually ones that have a clear concise title, a thorough and accurate description with good punctuation, clear pricing, excellent images and any other information which is relevant such as shipping costs etc.When writing your ads it's important to try and put yourself in the position of the kind of person you're trying to attract, and ask yourself what you'd want to see if you were interested in buying, and write your ad accordingly.Generally speaking, if there were two ads advertising the same item and one of them was clear and concise with lots of information and the other ad was basic with little information, the ad with more information will vastly outperform the basic one.Ads with little information or bad punctuation send 'bad vibes' to buyers who will look elsewhere to buy.
When creating an ad you should avoid adding any irrelevant information that doesn't relate directly to the content of the ad as this can confuse buyers.
Spelling and punctuation are equally as important because an ad filled with typo's sends the wrong impression to buyers who will move on to the next ad and buy from your competitor if they have a better written ad.
Ad titles are very important and you should avoid generic titles such as "for sale" as that doesn't tell potential buyers what's being offered unless they click and view your ad description.
Ads with short descriptions such as "click my link for details" rarely perform well because the ad isn't describing to the customer what's being offered and they're unlikely to click your link to go to your website unless they know what they're going for, so having an accurate description is vital.
The title of your ad is arguably the most important aspect as this is what people see in the categories and search results and that is what is clicked on in order to view the rest of your ad.By default, when somebody runs a search, it's your ad title that is searched so your title must contain descriptive words that describe what you're offering.If your ad title doesn't describe what you're advertising, it can't be returned in the results when somebody runs a search.Your title should be short and concise and should accurately describe what is being offered in your ad.Bad titles include generic phrases such as 'For Sale' or 'Best Offer' as titles like those give potential buyers no idea what you're offering so they will be unlikely to click on your ad to view the rest of it.
Having a good description can be the difference between making the sale or not making the sale.It's important to try and put yourself in the position of the kind of person you're trying to attract to your ad and ask yourself what information you'd like to see in the ad if you were the person looking to buy.Short ads with little information rarely perform well while the most successful ads are the ones that include lots of information and descriptions and clear photo's which answer people's questions before they ask them.It's important to include as much information as possible and include details such as shipping terms, costs, your returns policy if you have one, the total cost, when the buyer can expect to receive the item, if you provide tracking information etc.Generally speaking, the more information the better as this helps the buyer make an informed decision without having to contact you for clarification on anything that you may have overlooked when creating your ad.
