Feature your Photos for FREE with AuctionZip Photo+

Feature your Photos for FREE with AuctionZip Photo+

Let’s face it, descriptions and lot listings are great but nothing screams “attend my auction” like a good photo. Thankfully featuring your photos on AuctionZip – one of the most effective ways to drive traffic to your auction listings – is now free to all AuctionZip Auctioneer members.

When bidders browse during a preview, they tend to pick up or feel items for a closer look. This aspect of the auction experience is impossible to replicate online, but detailed photos can bridge the touch-and-feel barrier between consumer and website – bringing more bidders to your auction on sale day.

But how do users get to your photos on AuctionZip? Easy you say, though the Photo Gallery for my AuctionZip listing. That may be good for your regular bidders, but what about people looking for specific items? That’s where AuctionZip Photo+ comes in. With Photo+ all you have to do is select an item to feature and add related keywords. When an AuctionZip user conducts a related search, your featured photo will appear next to the auction calendar in the Featured Items section.

The users Photo+ drives to your listings are targeted and interested in items you have listed. Statistics are also available for every featured item including impressions (the number of times your featured image was displayed), views (the number of times a user moused over your photo for more information), and clicks (the number of times a user clicked on the photo to view your auction listing) so you can track which items are the most popular with AuctionZip users.

So get started with free Photo+ today and take advantage of the 1.2 million auction buyers searching for items on AuctionZip.com!
