How to get the best results from Classified Advertising on MILWEB

MILWEB is highly successful, professionally run and sells millions of pounds worth of military vehicles and militaria each year.
We want your advert to be a success, so please follow these guidlines to get the best from your MILWEB Classified Adverts.

Decide on the best type of advert for your vehicle or item
Choose either a picture advert - 1 picture and up to 60 words or a full page WEBVERT -with as much text as you like and 6 pictures. A WEBVERT must be used for selling multiple items or a collection. MILWEB's experience over the last 10 years shows that the WEBVERT consistently produces best results.
MILWEB reserves the right to insist on a picture advert or a WEBVERT and may refuse or limit text only adverts at our discretion.
Take the best photos you can
We cannot improve the quality of any photo you submit so please send us the best pictures you have. If for example, the engine has been meticulously detailed , a good picture will help you capitalise on this selling point.
We dont accept links to 3rd party photo sites.
Include a Landline phone number
Most people will respond to you by E Mail, so make sure you keep checking your mail box. But experience shows that keen buyers will call if you include a phone number, but they are less willing to call a mobile number because of the high call costs.
By all means include a mobile number as well as your landline number.
Include your name and surname
Unlike E Bay and forums where sellers can call themselves anything they like, MILWEB only accepts adverts with geniune names. We believe that is important for our readers to know who they are dealing with. We dont include price comparision references to other advertisers or suppliers, or link to 3rd party sites.
Choose your words carefully
If it's a picture advert you have 60 words maximum, so make sure that your advert is worded to give the best impression of the vehicle or item. Don't get lost in trivia, but include the key points that will make someone want to buy.
If you are submitting a WEBVERT, there is no limit and you can give as much detail as you like.
Avoid "text message slang" like 4sale - MILWEB does edit adverts to make them as clear as possible but sending in a well worded advert means your advert gets activated more quickly.
Include the price
People are less willing to repsond to a classifed advert with no price as they often deem it to be speculative and dont want to be faced with a "what do you think its worth" type of question.
As soon as your vehicle or item is sold - Let us know!
There is nothing more frustrated for a red hot buyer to be told "it's sold". So please let us know using the Contact Us page – make sure you tell us what the advert is for and use the E- mail address included in the advert.
