Separate Special Offer tab on listings
The special offers that will be displayed in the special offer tab comes from the special offer custom field. This field is available for the user to enter details into when submitting a listing from the front end. This field plays an important role in attracting the user attention to the listing.

The special offers are a highlight of the listings. The offers will attract visitor’s attention to the listing.
