IndusFact Marketplace currently offers 3 distinct ad types to suit your specific needs. You can select your preferred type while posting or reposting an ad.

⚠️ Please note: Once your ad is live, the ad type cannot be changed.

Available Ad Types:

• Sell – Got surplus stock, unused equipment, or older assets? List them here to find serious buyers.

• Buying – Looking for something specific? Post a buying ad to let sellers come to you with offers.

• Rent – Have industrial tools or machinery that can earn while idle? Post it here for short- or long-term rental opportunities.

Pick the right ad type at the start—and let the right people find you faster.

Want to give your ad that extra spotlight? Promoting your ad boosts its visibility and helps it reach the right audience faster. Here’s how you can do it:

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Go to your Submitted Ads – Navigate to your dashboard and find the ad you want to promote.

2. Open the Action Menu – Click the action menu on that ad and select the last option (usually labeled “Promote” or similar).

3. Promotion Modal – A popup will appear showing:

   • All available promotion options

   • Your currently active promotions for that ad

Available Promotion Types:

• Bump Up Ad Pushes your ad to the top by refreshing its creation date (expiry date remains unchanged). ⚠️ Can be used only once per ad.

• Highlight Ad Adds a visual highlight to your ad so it stands out in listings.

• Top Ad Pins your ad to the top XX positions in the category listing while also keeping its normal position below.

• Urgent Ad Displays a bold, red “Urgent” ribbon on your ad box to catch instant attention.

• Home Map Ad Showcases your ad directly on the homepage map section, perfect for geo-targeted visibility.

🛒 With the exception of “Bump Up,” all promotions may offer multiple package durations and price points.

After Selecting a Promotion:

• Choose your preferred promotion type and duration.

• Proceed to the payment screen.

• Your promotion will become active immediately after payment is completed — not at the time of request.

Make your ad unmissable. Because sometimes, a little spotlight brings the right buyer to your doorstep.

The location dropdown and the map selector serve two different but complementary purposes when posting an ad:

📍 Dropdown = General Location

You’re selecting the broad area (like city, district, or industrial zone) where your item is located. This helps users filter ads by region when browsing.

🗺️ Map = Precise Pinpointing

The map lets you fine-tune the exact location of your ad. This is especially useful if your area is large or if you’re located in a specific industrial cluster.

How This Helps in Searches:

• If the marketplace uses geolocation search, having an accurate pin on the map means your ad shows up when users search “near me” or within a specific radius.

• If geolocation is turned off and the platform uses a predefined list of locations, then the dropdown value is what helps users find your ad.

🔍 Pro Tip: Use both! Pick the closest location from the dropdown, then drag the pin on the map to mark your exact spot. More precision = better visibility.
