Search attributes

Search attributes are the filters on Trade Me that help buyers to narrow down their search results. We've always had filters like price and keyword, but the category-specific filters have been a bit patchy. We've done a lot of work recently to improve these, to help buyers to find the exact thing they're looking for, across any category, faster.

There are plenty of improved search attributes like:

  • GST exclusive pricing for Farming & Industry and Truck dealers
  • LAMs, Electric powertrain, and Hours for Motorcycle sellers
  • Berths, Layout, and Self Contained for Caravan and Motorhome sellers
  • Price on Application (POA) for New Boat, Farming & Industry, and Truck dealers
  • Plus more!

To optimise the new searchability functions, you need to add extra detail in DealerBase to give yourself the best possible chance of being one of the seller's buyers contact.

Available: On all packages.

Price Drop Promo & Email

A great way to shift stock by re-engaging watchlisters is through a Price Drop Promo & Email. When you discount your vehicle*, we'll help you promote the reduced price on your listing and in your watchlister's email inbox. 

Available: On all packages.

Features:

  • Listing promo - 'Was/Now' price displayed on your listing and search card.
  • Email promo - We'll email your watchlisters letting them know you've dropped the price.

*Minimum discount percentages and timeframes apply. Talk to Dealer Support for details.
