How the advert types can help you stand out at peak times
If everybody boosted or posted at the same time, it would create huge competition levels as dog sellers fought to be seen first.

3 benefits of using video in your dog adverts
-
Eye-catching puppy advert design
A key benefit of our Premium and Premium plus adverts is that they help you grab attention easier with additional design features.
The orange outline means that a dog browser’s eye will automatically be pulled to your puppy adverts.
-
Showcase more cute puppy photos
On top of the eye-catching design is that your advert will show 4 images (1 large focus image and 3 smaller ones).
This means you have more of a chance of getting a puppy buyer to click your advert because of the extra additional enticing images.

More free puppy adverts boosts
With the Premium and Premium Plus puppy adverts, you get 9-18 free boosts. With each boost giving your dog advert 10x the visibility, that makes a huge difference!
The Premium Plus advert saves you money compared to buying a Standard Advert and purchasing 15 additional boosts.
