Here are the details

The benefits of a tripod are
1 steady shot = sharper image, try and you will see!
2 You can take your images from exactly the same place every time, for the really professional look.

If you need any help on how to take really good photos of your cars, vans or bike please contact us.

Wanted warning....

Important information about ‘wanted’ adverts
Recent feedback has indicated that consumers find ‘wanted’ adverts misleading when searching for vehicles for sale. Users of the motoring websites have said that ‘wanted’ adverts disrupt the user experience which may deter them from visiting again in the future.
As a result, and to ensure users are not confused if the word 'wanted' appears in the text of your advert it will not appear where you would expect it to on Autotrader, ebay and many more motoring sites.

Consumer research shows, a huge percentage of your customers want to see a video of what they are buying. You would if you could...
Not much to do
It is going to be so easy to do, all you will need is;-

1. A video camera, or a camera with a video facility.

2. A YouTube account, this will take no more than 5 minutes for you to set up (Free of charge)

3. Some skills as a cameraman, I recommend you have a good practice before we set this up for real! We will be doing our own 'How to do a good Video' guide later.

Once you have set up your YouTube account you will upload a 1 or 2 minute video for each car, or a few cars, there are some good editing tools within the YouTube site to make the Video even better.
Then just copy the URL of the video and paste it in the field just below where you click to enter photos for each vehicle.

Keep ahead of your competitors
This will not be for everyone, it will be for the committed online seller. The benefits are many and include#

1. Better Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) - There will be a link from YouTube to your website
You can name each video to help with this, carefully worded so it will be found via YouTube.

2. Improved customer experience, imagine if you had a convertible, the roof going up an down would look pretty cool.

3. Visitors would stay on your site for longer, look at more vehicles, therefore increasing the likelihood of a valuable enquiry.

Spidersnet keeping ahead of our competitors
We are always aiming to find simple solutions to the latest innovations in online retailing.
Video is going to be the next MASSIVE thing, If I was still selling cars for a living I would do this for every vehicle for sure. YouTube is the biggest and best site to post your videos to, with our link to your video this will be a win win situation.
We are very exited and looking forward to seeing some really great videos.
