First Impressions
Because images are worth a thousand word, if you are posting a Premium Listing, make sure you have a strong and well formatted image as your main image. Showing it within a context, used in an attractive completed project or performing its purpose will get your product a lot of attention. Remember we are all visual people and we love pictures!

Group Similar Products
If you are posting a variety of products that are very similar in function or appearance, it is beneficial to group these under one posting, and explain the differences within the post. Draw them in and let them see the breadth of your products.
First Paragraph
For both the Basic Listing and the Premium Listing, provide a clear and concise explanation of your product in the first paragraph. Go into more detail in later paragraphs if you would like to. In addition to this being a standard of good presentation, it also is what is displayed on the general search page.
Additional Information
Premium Listings have the option to provide additional information. Architect, builders and contractors like to have as much information as possible, so feel free to include detail descriptions of uses, installation, dimensions, tests, and green or sustainable credentials.
Green it Up
Make sure to include any green or sustainable credentials your product might have. People using LocalSource, like the earth friendly products and we do to!
Contact
Provide the contact information for the person or web link that best matches with the product, people will often email directly from LocalSource, and just like you, we want to make sure they reach the right person and information.
