In order to create your first classified ad or “flyer”, first click on the FLYERS tab located in the top navigation bar.

The flyer listing page presents you with a list of previously created flyers. When visiting this page for the first time, the list will be empty

To create a flyer, simply select the desired product category from the drop down menu located below the list of flyers. There are over 40 available product categories to choose from.

Start by filling out the Title (which is required) and the Description. You can make text in the description bold, italics or underline using the formatting icons located below the Property description text field (Note: bold, italics and underline formats are not currently supported in Safari browser).

Next enter any of the Features and Attributes associated with your product or service. Although none of these fields are required, flyers that contain adequate and accurate information increase the likelihood of finding a buyer for your item.

The Features will vary based on the product category you are creating a flyer for. If you feel a field in the Features section is missing, simply click the Add Field button located at the bottom of the section to create a new custom field.

Clicking on the Add Field button allows you to enter the Label name and type for a custom field.

Once you have entered the requested information, click Add to have the field added to your form. When you create a new flyer in the same product category, vFlyer is smart enough to include previously created custom fields.

You can enter attribute information by simply clicking on all the checkbox that apply to your item. You can add custom attributes in the same way you can add custom fields. Simply click the Add Attribute button at the bottom of the attribute section you wish to add your new attribute in and enter an attribute name.

It is always a good idea to save your flyer even if you are still in the process of entering all the information. Saving your flyer regularly ensures that you don’t lose any data if you leave your computer unattended for over 30 minutes or if you mistakenly close your browser window. You can save the flyer at any time by simply the clicking on the Save button located in the upper right hand side of the page.

Enter pricing information for your item, if necessary add custom fields or drop down menu items.

Next enter your contact information. You can choose to show all your contact information on the flyer or use the Contact Reply Form. If you choose to use the Contact Reply Form, prospects will be asked to enter their name, email, phone and message and this information will be forwarded to you at the email address you specify. Your actual email address will not be shown on the form.

You can also choose to include your photograph, company logo and any association membership on your flyer. To do so simply click the Show Advanced Settings link. This link will open the Advance Settings section and allow you to select (if you have already entered them in your Accounts - Photo and Logo Settings) or upload these images.

Clicking the Add Photo, Add Logo or Add Assoc Logo links will take you to a new page that allows you to upload these images.

Once you have finished uploading the images, click the Return to Editor button to return to the flyer editor.

When entering the location of your item, you can choose to display the address or a link to a map of the address, or both on your flyer.

Most flyers contain one or more photographs of the item you are trying to sell or rent. vFlyer supports as many as 25 individual photographs in the photo gallery. To upload a photography, simply click the Add Main Photo or Setup Photo Gallery buttons. You will be taken to a new page that allows you to upload your photos.

When done you can click the Return to Editor button to return to the flyer editor or Preview to preview your current flyer

vFlyer supports both standard and custom look and feel templates that give your flyer a professional and/or distinct look and feel. You will find a list of all currently available templates in the Template section. To select one, simply click on it and thumbnail of the template will appear on the right.

You can preview your flyer at any time by simply clicking on the Preview button at the top right hand corner of the page.

Clicking on the Preview button will navigate you to the Preview mode.

The Links section allows you to add custom links to your flyer. Click the Add Link button to add a new custom link. When done, click the Add button to complete the process.

These links will appear in the left column on your flyer under the Location section of the published flyer. You can preview custom links in Preview mode.

Before your flyer entry process is complete, one very important step is necessary. You will need to decide if you want to have you flyer expire after a certain date (leave this field empty if you don’t want it to expire) and which online classified ad marketplaces you wish to automatically publish your flyer into. The list of available marketplaces will vary based on the product category.

You are almost done. Now you will need to publish your flyer. To do so, click the Publish button.

Once published, your flyer will automatically be posted into marketplaces you selected in your settings. You will also be able to copy and paste the HTML for vFlyer to Craigslist and other classified ad or auction site (such as eBay or LiveDeal), in your blog or on many other services that accepts HTML input.
