Horse Sales Online In Australia- Selling A Horse

Selling A Horse Online

This advise is aimed primarily at people wanting to sell their horse online, however the information suits any medium be it a poster on the local shop window to an advertisement in a magazine. But as I said I will be mainly talking online sales.

Most will have a number of options, pictures and number of characters at different costs. Pick the option that best suits your budget. This might be determined by the value you have put on the horse, the number of people you expect to see the advertisement, and how quickly you want to sell the horse.

I am going to skip over the wording that you use as most sites, us included, have limits on the number of words that you can use. Having said that there are a few things that you should include.

One thing that people sometimes miss out is their contact details. That would be a wasted advertisement. On our site we discourage the use of contact details in the ads. We have a contact the seller box under the ad. This way a potential buyer can contact you for more information but e-mail address harvesters do not get your e-mail address to send you spam.

If you are allowed to have 100 characters in the text of your add remember it is not the same as 100 letters. Try not go over the 100 characters, as the operator of the site will/could restrict you to 100 characters.

In most cases they will just cut off everything after the 100 characters. That is where most people have their contact details, so make sure your advertisement conforms to their restrictions.

You can check how many characters you are using by putting the advertisement in a word document, selecting tools, and then word count. That will detail the number of words as well as the number of characters.

It is our experience that advertisements with pictures sell much better than advertisements without pictures.

However, before I chat about pictures, a bit more about the wording of your advertisement.
Use upper and lower case letters. Do not just use only capital letters. It is harder to read and it's like you are shouting at the potential buyer, and most don't like being shouted at.

You can see the rest of the artical, including how to take the best pictures of your horse. we even include sample pictures of horses.

Good luck selling your horse.
