How enhanced entries work:

• Your Supplier Area in Sourcing City can show you how each of your products are performing against your competitors. You can then decide which products you would like to ‘enhance’.
• The price for each enhanced entry is based on the statistical popularity of each item type.
• All item types are limited to only 9 enhanced products per item type.
  This is to ensure maximum exposure for your enhanced entries.
• A supplier may have a maximum of 3 enhanced products within any individual item type.
  NB: Enhanced Entries occasionally appear after ‘special offers’ if applicable.
