Adding Content: Loading Pictures

Adding pictures to your listing will provide travellers with a visual representation of your product, making it easier for them to envision themselves enjoying your facilities whilst on their dream vacation. Pictures speak louder than words. This article will guide you through the process of adding images to your listing as well as provide you with recommended image sizes so that you can load the best images for your listing. 

Getting Started

Once your product or products have been linked to your account, you will find them under 'Your Content' (at the bottom of your Dashboard - depending on the functions available on your Dashboard, you might have to scroll down to see your listing).

Click on the 'Product Name' of your listing (in green) or 'Edit' to update your listing and 'View on Map' to see where your product is located on the Wetu Map. 

The link to your iBrochure will also be available for you to copy. This is the link you use when distributing your iBrochure. 

When you click 'Edit' an Update Form will open with a Menu on the left for you to add all of your relevant content. Under Content click on 'Pictures' to add your images.

Loading Pictures

Guidelines are available for you to follow as you upload your Images, as well as, a few useful tips to take into consideration so that travellers can get the full effect from the pictures you have added to your listing.

A few things to remember when uploading pictures:

• The minimum size on the image should be 500KB.
• Ideal image size should be > 2MB.
• Min 648 x 432 resolution.
• Upload landscape images rather than portrait images – most screens are twice as wide as they are high.
• The first 3 images show in the Digital Itinerary and the Printable Itinerary.
• Get into the destination (destination = wildlife, beach, mountains, city etc) 
• Use a separate picture (cropped 2:1) for your Splash page (add under Appearance) – this is the landing page of the iBrochure. If you do not make a specific image as the Splashpage, the image at the top of your image list will automatically be the splash page.
• Room images are growing more important in searches so be sure to add images to your Room Types.
• Activities are now linked directly to the itinerary builder and can take more than one image.
