Enhanced Entries

Enhanced Item Types (These show automatically in Sourcing City on all Skin Sites.)

Your selected Enhanced Item Types are forced to the top section in all related search results pages.
Enhanced Entries statistically achieve: ‘Five times more CT Enquires than Standard Entries’.
Your Enhanced Item Types are online for 12 months.

How enhanced entries work:

Your Supplier Area in Sourcing City can show you how each of your products are performing against
your competitors.
You can then decide which products you would like to ‘enhance’.
The price for each enhanced entry is based on the statistical popularity of each item type.
All item types are limited to only 9 enhanced products per item type.
This is to ensure maximum exposure for your enhanced entries.
A supplier may have a maximum of 3 enhanced products within any individual item type.
NB: Enhanced Entries occasionally appear after ‘special offers’ if applicable.
