Your Property Images Select the best images you can for your property and write the corresponding references in these fields. This is used to Marketing know where to find your images when they’re building the magazine. We’ll assume that “Image Reference 1” is the preferred main image. Remember these images are an extension of the brand so give us the best you’ve got.
Next step…the important bit I have arranged with IT to give all Lettings branch managers access to this file folder:
\\COLMARKETING01\locate\Branch Uploads\Lettings
Please drop your selected images into this folder, the folder has been segmented for each branch and each property, please use this accordingly.
Image Quality A quick note for you on image quality. The minimum requirement is an image between 240 and 300 dpi (pixels per inch – can be found in image properties).
The image needs to be a minimum of 1535x1535 pixels (again – can be found in image properties) but the bigger the better!

Rent Per Week Take the price of the property per week and pop it in the field.

property description…
Your Description I’ve locked you into 280 character maximum here. That relates to the physical space in the magazine. Here’s the big challenge, in 150 - 280 characters your task is to describe the property and say a little about the local area. Remember – you’ve got the bullets to help you.
your bullets…
Headline News What do you have to say about this property? Does it have car parking? Does it have a garden? Does it have great views? Not exactly exciting stuff but stuff that are deal breakers for people looking to rent a property. If it doesn’t fit in your description then utilise the bullets. We need three – keep them short and sweet, they’re a great little tool for catching the eye. For consistency we’re always going to run with the number of bedrooms in the first bullet point.
onto the next one…
No more…please! Don’t want to finish this now? You don’t have to, come back fresh and ready for more.
Three more to go Carry on the fun and market another property in Locate.
