The photo and title is your first opportunity to impress and inform a potential shopper and eventually to sell more cars. You must add your special stamp to Craigslist posts. Something that will make your posts more unique. Here are 4 ways to get more leads on Craigslist.
Studies show that people are 70% more likely to click on your Craigslist ad if your photo has a smart call to action! It should be clear photo, with an interesting visuals and not blurry and shaky one.
Some things don’t look bad in full sun, but big, shiny things like automobiles can look terrible. If you take a photo of cars in full sun you will end up with huge flares on some parts while the rest is completely covered in shadow.
If you want a car to look great on photos take a snapshot first thing in the morning, just before sunset or during cloudy weather. Just don’t have the sun blasting the car to oblivion and you’ll do well.
Our WizPoster tool can help with this, by making your photo more effective with special filters. Another part of the photo that catches people’s eyes and increases the chances of interaction and more clicks is a watermark. Using clear call to action words with nice visuals will give you results for sure.
