High-quality photos can help you advertise a car for sale. Buyers tend to take an ad more seriously when they can see a picture of the vehicle. It is important to post at least one photo with your ad. If possible, include a variety of shots to showcase the entire vehicle to potential buyers.
Clean the car thoroughly before taking photos to advertise that the car is for sale. A shiny car will grab the attention of more buyers. A dirty car could cause the buyer to question your treatment of the vehicle.
Choose a pleasing backdrop for the photos. However, avoid backgrounds that are busy. You want the buyer's eye to be drawn to the car, not the background.
Take a variety of exterior photos from different angles. A crucial shot for car ads is taken from the front corner and includes the front and driver's side of the car. It also helps to have a shot of the rear of the vehicle.
Take a picture of the interior of the car's trunk or cargo area to advertise the available space in the vehicle.
Move in close for a detail shot of the seat fabric to show the color and pattern.
Take a picture of the dashboard from the driver's seat to give the buyer a view from behind the wheel.
Lift the hood to get a shot of the engine. Car buffs will appreciate the opportunity to see the condition of the engine.
Take a picture of unique features or desirable upgrades to make your ad stand out. Possible features include DVD players, wheel upgrades, luggage rack, etc. Many buyers will skim the photos without reading your detailed description. A photo of a highly desirable feature may pique their interest.
