New Feature: Boosts for Classifieds!

Hello KSL Community!

We are thrilled to announce our latest new feature for our Classifieds section - Boosts! That's right, the same boosts that have been helping our car sellers increase their visibility and sell their vehicles faster, are now available for all Classified listings.

We understand that as a seller, getting your listing seen by potential buyers is crucial. That's why we have introduced Boosts in our Classifieds section.

By using Boosts, your listing will be sent to the top of relevant search results, giving it more exposure to potential buyers. This means more views, more leads, and ultimately, a faster selling process.

So how can you easily boost your listing? It's simple! Just go through the regular checkout flow for your Classified listing and select the Boost option (see below).
