Introduction to Park for Sale Ads

MHParks.com offers two forms of advertising for our members within our Advertise solution. Both our Parks for Sale Ads and Classified Ads are designed for our members to specifically advertise to individuals that work in the mobile home & RV park industry.

In this article you will be provided with a general overview of a Parks for Sale Ads. While reading this article you will learn key aspects to a Parks for Sale Ad.

You will also learn where and when it will be displayed to the public, and how you can increase your advertisements views by upgrading to a Premium Ad.   

Overview

Every Park for Sale Ad that is published not only provides a platform for MH/RV park owners and brokers to advertise the MH/RV parks they may have for sale, but also seamlessly integrates with our Parks Sites, My Parks, and Sold Parks solutions.

This integration ensures that the park's information is kept current in Park Sites while also allowing MHParks.com to display your ad's sale information, once you have successfully sold your park.

Each Park for Sale Ad consists of several aspects that users should understand to gain the most success for their advertisements. 

Publishing

To create and publish a Parks for Sale Ad, users can select Advertise from the left menu of their Dashboard. By clicking the +Add New button and selecting Park for Sale Ad, from the top right of the page, you will be guided through 4 wizard steps.

These required steps are:

1. Link Park Site - This step requires the user to link their park's ad to the specific MH/RV park within our system.
2. Park Information - This step requires the user to update the park's information to ensure their ad displays the correct information to the public.
3. Sale Information - This step allows the user to provide information specific to the sale.
4. Ad Branding - This step allows the user to brand their ad so that viewers know who is selling the park.

After you have successfully saved your ad, you will be able to preview how the ad will look to viewers, and choose to publish your ad immediately or at a later date.

Upon successfully publishing your Park for Sale Ad the first time, an email notification containing your advertisement's link will be sent to all of our paid plan members. These members will have exclusive access to your advertisement for 5 days.

On day 6 your park's ad will begin displaying to the public, on our Parks for Sale Ads page. It will continue to be displayed to the public for 30 days. 

At the end of your ad's publishing period you will be able to republish your ad for an additional 30 days as many times as you choose, until the park has sold. 

Premium Ads

As any good marketer will tell you, the more viewers that see your ad, the more success your sale will have. That's why each Parks for Sale Ad has built-in Search Engine Optimization (SEO) technology that helps search engines discover your specific mobile home park or RV park advertisement.

This is done to for the sole purpose of driving more viewers to your advertisement. As an additional way to increase your ad's views, we recommend upgrading your advertisement to a Premium Ad.

By upgrading your advertisement to a Premium Ad, your ad will display the green Premium tag. This helps bring more attention to your ad, while also positioning it before ads that have not been upgraded.

Editing an Ad

Sometimes a little wording change in an advertisement can make all the difference. That's why we make it easy for you to edit your published advertisement at anytime. As an added convenience, when you choose to change the Listing Status of your ad to either Sale Pending, Price Reduced, or Sold you can also do so by simply clicking the edit icon within the Listing Status field of your ad.

Sold Parks

After you have successfully closed the sale of the park that you're advertising, simply change the your ad's Listing Status to Closed.

Once the Listing Status is changed to Closed, we will prompt you to complete the Submit Sale form so we can automatically begin displaying your sale in Sold Parks.

Within the Submit Sale form, you can either choose to submit the sale information at that time, or close the form and return to it later by clicking the Listing Status's Closed link within your ad.

For park sales that are located in non-disclosure states, simply check the option Do not track sale information, and Sold Parks will display your success with only the date you changed the Listing Status.

After submitting the sale information a snapshot of your advertisement along with the sale information will begin displaying in the Sold Parks solution for members to use as a comparable sale.

Ad Tags

Advertising tags like Price Reduced, or Sale Pending, and Sold are a great way to get a viewer's attention on your ad. That's why we've made it easy for users to change the different banners that display on your Park for Sale Ad by simply changing the Listing Status of your advertisement.   

Ad Views

Having your advertisement receive a lot of views is great, but just knowing the number of viewers doesn't help your marketing. By clicking on the number of views your ad has received, within the Views column of your ad displays a list of visitors that have viewed your specific advertisement.

Because of the nature of web browsers and security, when your ad was viewed by someone that was not a logged in as a member of MHParks.com, their name will simply appear as Visitor.

If the viewer happens to be a logged in, we provide you with their name, phone number, email, and date they viewed your ad. This way you can contact them directly about the park you're selling.

Additionally each person that views your ad will also be able to contact you directly or share your ad with their friends, by clicking either the Contact Seller or Share buttons that display directly within your advertisement.
