For the sellers we would recommend the following:
- Provide email id or phone number so that buyers could reach them once they find the free ads on apnacake.com
- Sellers should give precise address of the operating location or if the exact location name is not available then seller should provide address nearest to the place of operation. This will help the buyers to search the cake sellers easily
