MarketHub
Marketing Tools
How to make your listings stand out and reach more buyers — from free best-practices that cost nothing to paid placements that put you above the fold.
Free Optimisation
- Complete your profile — bio, photo, country. Complete sellers convert ~3× better than empty profiles.
- Post at peak hours: 7-9 AM and 6-9 PM local time get the most views across most MarketHub markets.
- Use full sentences in descriptions — MarketHub's search weighs title, description, category, and subcategory together.
- Add specific attributes (brand, model, year, dimensions, condition) — these match more long-tail search queries.
- Reply to messages within 4 hours — fast responders rank higher on category pages.
Boost Packages
- Highlights a single listing with a visible "Boosted" badge in search results.
- Boosted listings appear above non-boosted ones in the same category and search results.
- Available durations: typically 7, 14, and 30 days — pick the one that matches your sales cycle.
- Submit a boost request from the listing's More menu in your dashboard, then attach payment proof. Admin approves within 24 hours.
Featured Hero Ads
- Top-of-homepage carousel slot — full hero photo, custom call-to-action button, animated panel gradient.
- Best for new product launches, flagship items, or campaigns with a creative budget.
- Currently the highest-visibility option on MarketHub — every homepage visit shows your slide in rotation.
- Apply through the Boost form, marked "Premium tier" — admin reviews the creative before approving.
Standard Sponsored Slots
- Horizontal "Featured today" strip directly below the homepage hero.
- Lower cost than premium, broader country-level reach.
- Good for sustained mid-tier campaigns where you want steady visibility over weeks rather than a single hero blast.
Building a Following
- Buyers can follow your seller profile — followers get notifications on your new listings.
- Encourage satisfied buyers to follow you after a sale — a simple "thanks, follow me for upcoming stock" message works.
- Top sellers (4.5+ rating, 10+ reviews) typically grow to 50-500 followers, which compounds organic reach over time.
- A following multiplies your free reach without spending on boosts.
