“5 star service. Any issues I had setting up advert were handled diligently and efficiently by Paul and the team. Good follow through also in insisting on seeing my documentation before ad placed. This gives better protection to potential buyers and credibility to the dogs being advertised.”
Hi Vivienne, thanks for the feedback.
The good news, is that we have just rolled out a feature where you can see this for views from today. If you go to My Ads > My For Sale Ads. You will be able to click on the stats button to bring you to your stats page.
“I had to rehome my puppy due to severe dog allergies. Even though ive owned a dogs for 40 years. Some people just ring or text 1 line and offer a small amount of money. Some don't even question the price. A couple sent messages explaining why they were interested and what kind of home they could offer the pup. I wanted a loving home and spent 3 hours talking to the new owners to make sure she was going to be happy with them. I would like to see some kind of questionnaire that needs to be filled out to avoid these puppy farms. I will be in contact with new owner constantly to make sure puppy is happy. I understand to some it's a business but regardless I think some information should be attached to inquiry for all dogs.”
Thanks for your review. With regards to asking specific questions when filling out a contact form, we love this idea. I’ve added it as a feature we will discuss with the team soon.
For ease of use, we might try to have a few ones that you can just turn on or off.
E.g Do you have experience with the breed?
Do you have access to a garden or park for your dog to play ?
Do you have small kids ?
Are you away from the house for long periods at a time during the day ?
Etc.
If you have any suggestions on other questions to ask please do let us know!
“Sharon was very helpful in getting the ad and pictures sorted out. The website attracts people genuinely interested in getting a pet so I was reassured selling my pups that they are going to good homes.”
“Posted ad last Thursday. Have had a few texts enquiring but nothing came of them, all time wasters. Haven't heard anything more. Text messages is a bad option would prefer if people made a phone call”
Hi, thanks for your review. I looked into your ad and you only have 2 images of the dogs you are selling, and they are pretty similar. I'd recommend you adding some more photos of them, so people can get a better idea of what the puppies look like.
We have tried to optimise your ad there to see if it will get it some more views.
Hi Ross,
Sorry you can't see the stats directly and that you've had a bad experience. I'll arrange to get that to you in a graph. Our system is saying that your ad was viewed 362 times so far since it was published on Friday.
Hi David, I'm sorry you feel like this and that you haven't had much interest in your ad.
I did take a look at your ad, and I see only two live photos, and they look very similar. I'd recommend adding some more photos of your puppies, so people could get a better idea of the dog. There are currently 822 open ads with 2,128 available dogs, so there is a lot of competition with breeders at the moment to get buyers attention.
