Have you ever posted something on ikman and noticed it just disappears in the crowd? Boost Ad can help your ad stand out so you get more responses and sell faster
What is Boost Ad
Boost Ad is a paid feature that enhances your ad and increases its visibility. It helps your items appear at the top of results and ensures more people see and respond to your listing
Boost Ad comes with five options that you can use in any combination for best results:
Bump Up
This refreshes the publish date of your ad so it looks new again. That way you do not need to delete and repost it
Top Ad
Your ad will be placed in premium spots within its category where it gets more attention. These spots give you a big boost in visibility .
Urgent
Marking your ad as urgent can attract buyers who want to make a quick decision. It signals that you are ready to close the deal fast
Featured Ads
This adds a featured label and allows you to show up to three images right in the results. It creates a higher impact visually .
Schedule Ad Boost
This lets you pick the date and time to boost your ad. You can plan boosts during peak hours like evenings or weekends for maximum exposure
Why ikman Changed the Name of the Feature
