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.
