The Bottom Line

From a completely new start with an account, I was able to lay out a nice home listing ad/brochure in just a half hour with multiple images, a table for listing info, and specialty graphics.

Pros

  • Fast online account setup.
  • Easy image upload & image editing.
  • Allows use of tables and specialty shapes.
  • Allows sending of image from camera phone.

Cons

  • Only wonder how long it will be free.

Description

  • Ad size can be set, with an image for background wallpaper.
  • Over 150 clip art images and shapes are provided for headlines and feature statements.
  • Text is easy, with different fonts, sizes, bolding and italics.
  • Image uploads, as well as sending from a camera phone are easy, with resizing by dragging a corner after positioning.
  • Position images and text by dragging, then rotate to the desired angle.
  • Export html for Craigslist, Facebook, eBay or use in a website.
  • Export as a jpeg image or a PDF for use by your print media people.

Guide Review - GoGoPin.com for Free Real Estate Online Ad Design

I opened my new account with GoGoPin.com, and jumped right into setting up an ad without watching the demo video or reading any instructions. I managed, in about 20 minutes, to:

  • Place an image from my computer as a full wallpaper background for the test ad.
  • Insert clip art from their site for headlines.
  • Insert images from my computer for a listing.
  • Send up an image from my cell phone.
  • Insert a table with the features and description of the home.
  • Export the ad in multiple formats.

I was pleased with the result, and particularly happy with the fact that HTML was provided that dropped the ad right into a test WordPress post on my blog. This ability means that I can use this one online resource to build an ad for Craigslist, Facebook or other sites, plus use it as a brochure for placement in the home. Then, I can put the same ad up on my website as the listing display page.
