It is easy to post a listing online quickly, but to optimise your effort, consider the many ways your listing might be improved upon for better results. There are many factors to creating an effective classified ad. Here are a few tips from our experts:

Use an attention-grabbing title.

Making a catchy title and a good description with words that people might use when looking for your item can help others see your listing. It's important that potential buyers can find your ad easily. Giving lots of details about the item can help you find better leads.

**Don't forget to check your title and description for any spelling mistakes!

Add humour!

If your listing makes people laugh, it's more likely to stand out. Sometimes, funny listings might even go viral if you're lucky, because everyone loves sharing a good laugh with friends and family on social media. Just remember to keep it appropriate for all audiences!

A picture says a thousand words.

Listings with photos tend to get better and more serious responses compared to those without. Including well-lit, high-quality images in your ad will likely attract more potential buyers. Unlike newspaper classifieds, posting a picture on Kijiji is free, so make sure to include images in your listings!

Double-check your region and category.

Making sure you post your listing in the right city and category is crucial. If your listing is in the wrong category, it can be hard for people to find it. For instance, if your item is in Nicosia but you post it in Kyrenia, local buyers won't see it, making it tough to sell.

Make sure your price is in line with the current market.

People expect used items to be significantly lower in price than new items. Conducting a price comparison on Töko cy can help you ensure your item is in line with the current market. Simply type the name of your item in the Töko cy search engine to view similar listings and their prices.

Best of luck, and happy selling!
