What is the Category Gallery?

Gumtree's Category Gallery is the section on the ad pages where your ad can be displayed for several days. More people read and reply to these ads because of their prominent position at the top of the ad pages. If you have applied the Category Gallery feature to your ad, your ad will be displayed in the Category Gallery section of the category you selected for your ad.

What are the benefits of being in the Category Gallery?

Ads in the Category Gallery get more visitors and more replies than other ads on Gumtree because of their prominent position at the top of the ad pages. This helps you sell an item quicker, get more exposure for your service, and so on. Ads in the Category Gallery are advertised nationally, meaning that users who are not searching in your area, but viewing the category your ad is posted in, will also be able to see your ad.  As well, your ad will continue to appear within the regular category and search listings, giving your ad even more exposure.
