Gathering Information for a Listing

Think about features to highlight, important points to cover, and ways to use multimedia. The goal is to grab customers' attention of Oracle Cloud Marketplace users and persuade them to buy the app or service.

A listing can include the following assets, which you might want to identify or create before you start the listing:

• Company logo and listing icon: In Oracle Cloud Marketplace, your company logo appears on the PROVIDER tab. The icon appears on the listing pages for your app or service. The logo and icon are displayed against a solid white background.
• Listing banner: Optionally, you can add a banner to your listing. A banner is a graphic image that appears at the top of the details page and spreads across the width of the page.

  You can use banners to advertise your product, create a mood, wrap your message in a cool graphic, or make an announcement. Banners are one way to generate excitement and get customers interested in your app or service.

  Note that banners don’t appear on mobile devices.

• Videos and screenshots: Uploading videos and screenshots is a great way to enhance your listing. For example, you can use them to walk the Oracle Cloud Marketplace user through the app or service that you provide.

  To improve the quality of your walk-through or image collection, be sure to provide meaningful labels and descriptions of your videos and screenshots. In addition, be sure to order them in a manner that conveys the functionality of your app or highlights the goals of your service.

  Oracle Cloud Marketplace displays thumbnails for your videos and screenshots on the right side of your app or service listing page. Users can select a thumbnail to enlarge the image view in another window and then select to cycle through your set of videos and screenshots.

  Images don’t have to be strictly screenshots. They can also be other listing-appropriate images such as marketing images, branding images, photographs, information graphics, illustrations, drawings, and charts.

  See Guidelines for Listings for more information about the permitted image sizes, file sizes, and formats of these assets. Ensure that the logos, icons, videos, and screenshots comply with the relevant guidelines
