GIVE FACTS:Put yourself in the buyer’s place.What would you want to know?
List the item’s age, condition,size, brand-name, model andapproximate value. If you’re
selling a car, state the type oftransmission, mileage, if it has
low miles and specialequipment.
DON’T EXAGGERATE:It’s risky business to exaggerate
and it won’t increase yourchances of success. Misleading
information may get a buyer toyour house, but it won’t sell the
item and probably do just theopposite.
AVOID ABBREVIATIONS:While a few abbreviations are
well known and save space, toomany together can cause
confusion. A confused readerwill not take the time to figure
it out.
INCLUDE PRICE:Surveys indicate buyers are moreinterested in merchandise when
they know the price. Thisapplies to everything from
household items to cars. Goodmerchandise priced fairly sells.
BE AVAILABLE:A telephone number is fine ifyou’re at home when your ad
runs. If you’re not going to behome, state the time you will
be. Must potentials buyers willnot call back.
