It’s that time of year again, the two most expensive times of the year – Christmas and New Year are finally behind us and they have left us feeling a little bit lighter in the pocket.

With the UK spending an eye-watering £1.7bn on unwanted gifts last Christmas and the average Brit receiving a total of £31 worth of unwanted present’s, now is the perfect time to cash in or simply de-clutter your home. So to give you a helping hand we have pulled together a few tips to ensure that your Vivastreet ad stands out.

Select a category
It is important to select the correct category as it will ensure that the right people are looking at your ad.

Posting Title
Having a catchy title is a great way to stand out from the other ads. Try to keep it short and sweet whilst highlighting exactly what you are selling.

Posting Description
Do not be vague, include as many details as possible. This is the perfect place to state the benefits or the attractive qualities of your product, and why other Vivastreet users should purchase your product (or service).

Include a photo whenever possible
Vivastreet users can upload photos for free, so ensure that you do. As the saying goes, a picture tells a thousand words.

Modes of contact
Provide as many modes of contact as is conveniently possible. Methods such as email addresses, and landline/ mobile phone numbers will make sales transactions easier. However, do make sure that the proper security and safety precautions are taken.

Additional features
Upgrade to a premium ad. There are different types of upgrades available: ‘Featured’ ads which will place your advert on top of the regular ads and will be marked ‘Featured’ for exclusive and increased visibility or ‘Highlighted’ ads which highlight your ad for 30 days with a coloured background to make your advert stand out.

How Automatic Renewal works?

1. By selecting the automatic renewal feature, your classified ad plan will be renewed automatically on its expiration date – so you don’t have to worry about your classified ad plan expiring!
2. You will be automatically charged by your last selected classified ad plan and by using your last payment method. A separate invoice will be sent to you for confirmation every time your classified ad plan gets renewed. You will also be notified prior to any changes in prices of the selected plans.
3. You may cancel the automatic renewal feature at any time by following the instructions contained on the Vivastreet website and in your order confirmation email.

We would like to inform you that in response to our user feedback, we are constantly improving the content quality of our site and our service.  For this reason, we have introduced a new rule, which will no longer permit posting of naturist/nude massages in the Services section (Massage-Beauty-Spa category).

Due to the nature of these massages, from now on the posting will be possible only in the Erotic massages category in the 18+ section.

We regret any inconvenience this might cause and we hope this will not discourage you from using Vivastreet either for your personal or business needs.

If you have any further question, do not hesitate to contact us via our onsite Contact us form or e-mail us directly to: team-uk@vivastreet.com

Posting free classified ads has never been this easy and fast, in fact really, really fast!

We are happy to announce that you can now post your ads without being a registered member.

How does it work?

In Step 3 on the posting page you have 3 options:

1. Create an account
2. Use existing account
3. Post  without account

If you choose the last option – Post without account – all you need to do is enter a valid email address. Your email address will be used as the primary way to contact you. All Vivastreet notifications and communications will be sent only through your email account. Once you will create your ad you will receive an email Activate your Vivastreet Ad Now! – You will need to confirm your e-mail address so that we can begin processing your ad.

New posting page

Job hunting during an economic downturn can be tough as there is more competition in the labour market. With our new release you can now attach different document files when adding your CV on Vivastreet.

The acceptable formats for our system are .doc, .pdf, .docx, .rtf and .odt.

When naming your files, please use simple filenames and avoid special characters and spaces. If you are a Macintosh user, you must also type the three-letter extension at the end of the file name you choose (e.g. .doc, .rtf, .pdf).

Once your ad is published, your CV will be easily accessible for recruiters and all employers.

Although an expanded resume is not required to complete your Job seekers ad for admission, we strongly encourage you to submit one. Think of it as your opportunity to provide employers with a complete picture of your activities, employment, education, community service and awards.

Good luck with your job hunting!
