Resources to help your listings perform better

Use natural light. Shoot near a window or outdoors - avoid harsh overhead lighting or flash, which flattens color and detail.

Show the item in context. A styled tablescape or a balloon arch at a real event books better than a plain product shot against a wall.

Keep the background clean. Busy or cluttered backgrounds distract from the item. Tidy the space or crop tighter.

Use a landscape (horizontal) shot for your cover photo. It fills the card better than a portrait or square crop.

Add 4-8 gallery photos per item: different angles, close-ups of details, and a few from real events if you have them.

Check what similar items go for on the Browse page before setting your price - pricing too far above comparable listings quietly costs you bookings.

Decide per-day vs. per-event pricing based on the item. Large setups (a mobile bar, a tent) usually make more sense per event; small items work better per day.

Factor delivery and setup into your price, or note clearly if it's separate - unclear pricing is one of the fastest ways to lose a booking at checkout.

Keep your inventory count accurate and communicate with the ThisandThat team. Overselling leads to a cancelled booking; underselling just means fewer bookings than you could've had.

Write specific descriptions. "Great for weddings" tells customers less than "seats 8, includes gold chargers and linen napkins."

List exactly what's included. If setup, delivery, or teardown come with the rental, say so. It's often the deciding factor for a booking.

Respond quickly. Customers planning events tend to book with whoever confirms availability fastest.

Ask happy customers for a review. Listings with a few genuine reviews consistently book better than ones with none.
