Når du legger inn opplysningene om ditt hjem online, har du anledning til å gjengi en hel del informasjon om din bolig og om omgivelsenee. For at du skal få mest mulig igjen for ditt medlemskap, er det viktig at du markedsfører hjemmet ditt samt området rundt, der du forteller hvor du bor, hvordan du lettest kan nås og hva du kan tilby. Jo mer informasjon du kan gi i form av bilder og tekst, jo bedre hjelp vil andre medlemmer få når de skal avgjøre om ditt tilbud er akkurat det de søker etter.
Bilder og beskrivende tekst.
Intervac gir deg anledning til å laste opp inntil 20 bilder og skrive en ubegrenset beskrivelse under disse overskriftene: Ditt hjem, familie, livsstil og naboskap. Flerspråklige medlemmer fører ofte opp beskrivelser i sine ulike språk for å forbedre tilgjengeligheten av annonsen ved søking på nøkkelord. Alt dette er enkelt å utføre. Det finnes mengder med tilgjengelige hjelpetekster, og lederen for Intervac Norge hjelper deg dersom du står overfor spørsmål som ikke allerede er besvart.
A map of surroundings
Hver annonse har et (valgfritt) Google-kart slik at eventuelle boligbyttepartnere kan få et godt bilde av nabolaget der ditt hjem ligger. Markøren er som standard ikke plassert nøyaktig der ditt hjem ligger. Men hvis du ønsker det, kan du plassere den nøyaktig ved å oppgi posisjon (breddegrader og lengdegrader).
