The 3-line title formula

Buyers scan, they don't read. Lead with the product, then the differentiator, then the price.

  • Line 1: Product + size/variant (e.g. 'Ankara two-piece — size 8 to 16').
  • Line 2: Why yours (e.g. 'Hand-finished, 100% wax cotton').
  • Line 3: Price + delivery (e.g. '₦18,500 — same-day Lagos delivery').

Photos: 4 is the sweet spot

Listings with exactly 4 images get 38% more clicks than listings with 1 or 8+. Shoot in daylight, plain background, one detail shot, one in-use shot.

Always show the price

Hidden prices kill conversions. Buyers who message just to ask 'how much?' rarely close. Display the price; you'll get fewer messages but more sales.
