Great photos are the single biggest factor in getting enquiries. Here's how to make your van look its best:
Preparation:
- Give the van a thorough clean inside and out
- Remove all personal items and clutter
- Park on a clean, uncluttered background
Shooting tips:
- Photograph in natural daylight (overcast days reduce harsh shadows)
- Take photos from all four corners at a 45° angle
- Include: front, rear, both sides, engine bay, dashboard, cargo area, seats, any damage
- Aim for 12-20 photos minimum
- Show the odometer reading
Common mistakes to avoid:
- ❌ Dark or blurry photos
- ❌ Photographing in a messy garage
- ❌ Only 2-3 photos
- ❌ Hiding damage (buyers will find it anyway)
