Five tips to get your profile approved faster
Visit Victoria's ATDW team continually reviews and publishes updates to ATDW profiles. To ensure your profile updates are approved as quickly as possible, here are some tips you can follow:
- Write in third person - when writing about your business or event, always refer to it using the third or person or its name.
- No text on images - images with text or logos are often cropped or displayed incorrectly on some distributor websites.
- Leave links, contact details and pricing out of the description - there are fields elsewhere in your profile for this.
- Write in short sentences - keep sentences clear and conscise, with 1-2 points per paragraph.
- Use of capital letters - only use capital letters for for names, regions or specific places and room types such as The Murray, Daylesford and Queen Room. Avoid using capitals to emphasise a point, like "FREE shuttle bus".
