Promote your store using social media –

By using social media, you can further promote your goods and services to a wider audience of people.

Creating an account with a classified site is the first step to get your goods or service listed, but verifying such account is one way to repose buyer confidence and therefore increase or improve your sales potentials. Buyers on classified sites typically want to be sure they are dealing with a genuine seller and when it’s known to them that you run a verified account you stand a chance of generating more leads as compared to running an ordinary non-verified account.

Have a sponsored account –

With a sponsored account or ad, new site visitors get to see your wares first with the tag “sponsored”. This help to give first hand visibility by further promoting your ad and helping your online store generate more useful leads.

Use great copy and keywords –

Have in mind that most classified site are HTML sites and its content are crawlable by Google bots. So, when creating your ad content use great copy and keywords that relates to your goods or service, determine what words would easily help a buyer make up his or her mind quickly, use tags and great images of the product; all of these would greatly increase the possibility of your product or service popping out easily when people search for such using google. 

Lastly, use highly ranked classifieds –

When entering into the classified space, ensure that you are listing your goods or service on platforms that are well ranked and highly respected in the ecosystem. A number of classified are present in the ecosystem but the likes of Jiji.ng, Postwanga.ng and Olx.com.ng are about few worthy to note classified sites you could consider.
