Follow these tips for a great classified:
- Be as specific and clear as possible.
- Use complete sentences rather than a series of phrases and random words. Don’t over capitalize words or use all caps. Make it easy to read.
- Include all pertinent information including:
- Who, what, when, where, why, and how.
- Contact information including an email address.
- Important dates and deadlines.
- Information on payment, artists’ fees, exhibition royalties, salary ranges, and the like. Unsure what to pay an artist? Use the CARFAC minimum fee schedule as a guideline.
- Website links. The form does not send rich text, so please include the full URLS.
- An introduction or summary paragraph at the beginning of the ad helps draw people in plus helps scrapers and search engines share your classified with a broader audience.
- Add a photo if at all possible. The best images are horizontal and will be cropped to 800 pixels by 600 pixels.
- Include street addresses with location names. Make it easy for someone to find you.
As all ads are user submitted, please respond as directed in the classified.
