Want better search results for the ebay items you’re selling?

Want better search results for the ebay items you’re selling?

Many think that to successfully sell on ebay all a seller has to do is list.

False. Well partially false, certainly an item can’t sell if it’s not listed.

And I should say that if you are selling a highly desirable item at rock bottom prices yes the item I think would sell.

However if you are like thousands of ebay sellers and you are listing your items you are facing a lot of competition.

One of the ways to stand out is to write an ebay guide related to the products you are selling.

So if you offer women’s shoes you could write a guide on how to know what shoe size your are!

If you sell winter coats, a guide on what’s the warmest coat might be a good fit.

The guide once published is not only available to ebay sellers it’s fed to other search engines so it can be picked up by Google,Yahoo,Bing etc..

To write a successful guide be sure to put your item in the guide’s title and pick the correct ebay categories to tag your guide.

If I’m selling Party Shoes I want Party Shoes in the title of my guide and I’d want to tag women’s shoes.

The tag function is at the bottom of the writing an ebay guide template.

Once published your items that are related to your ebay guide will appear at the bottom of your guide helping to increase customer traffic to your offerings.

You can write an effective guide in under 30 minutes and your items will reap the results of increased search results on the internet which can mean  more SALES for you!

Want larger orders in your ecommerce business ? Size Matters!

by | Aug 5, 2014 | eCommerce Selling Tips, Selling on eBay

I recently got a large clothing sale by one customer in my ebay store!
How?

My ebay store categories includes clothing sizes!
By sorting the clothes you sell by SIZE you are inviting browsing and shopping for your customers!

Your customers spending more time in your ebay store (or website) browsing and shopping can potentially greatly increase the order size of each sale!

Most importantly using clothes sizes in your ebay store categories(or website) shows your shoppers you care about your them!

It shows your customers you value their time and want to make their shopping experience with you a pleasant experience and that you care enough about them to set up your site in a manner that’s easy for them to navigate!

With the busy times we live in who isn’t looking to save time?!

Want larger order sizes for your clothing items?

Take the time to include sizes in your store categories.

Welcome happy and satisfied  shoppers!

 

You can get bigger orders from your ebay store customers! Want to know how?

Holiday Boards on Pinterest

by | Jun 14, 2014 | eCommerce News, eCommerce Selling Tips, Selling on eBay, Social Media Tips

Pinterest is an effective social marketing and branding tool for any size business( small, medium and large) on Social Media whether your a brick and mortar store, internet or both.

Let’s say you have a Father’s Day Board on Pinterest.
What do you do once the Holiday is over? Do you leave the Board up or delete it?

Rather than lose the followers to that board you can rename the board to something appropriate. So if it’s been let’s say a Mother’s Day Board you could relabel it “What to get that woman in your life” or “Perfect gifts for Her”. You get the idea?

You don’t want to relabel something that has nothing to do with what you were pinning as people followed that board for that content.

One thing to keep in mind anytime you change the name of a Pinterest Board you are changing the URL. If you have put the board somewhere else in the social media world or if you have embedded it as a widget on a page renaming the Pinterest Board will kill the link. In that case you’d want to not change the name. 

So in 5 seconds(or less) you can rename your board and keep your followers. It’s a win win solution.

Next year when that Holiday rolls around just relabel your board again and you’re good to go.
Time to get busy pinning!

The Holiday is over what do I do with my Holiday Pinterest Board?

 

Customers are people that matter.

I was in a favorite local restaurant with my husband this past week. I watched the owner move about greeting people.
He stopped by numerous tables checking on how they liked their food and making pleasant conversation.
He did not sell anything.
He smile, he chatted and brought water to one table rather than calling a bus boy.
He was actively engaged and caring with each individual. It was genuine.
This small restaurant in the brutally competitive marketplace that New York City is has been in business for over 35 years.
Want to guess why?
Yes they have a good location, food and service but I’ve seen dozens of similar restaurants come and go over the years.
This restaurant succeeds where have many have failed because of one very important word – care. This restaurant’s  center is care for it’s customers. It starts with the owner.
Care does matters. Care shows in how you list your products, ship and all communications with your shoppers.

Want repeat customers? Care.

Showing care is as simple as a glass of water in a restaurant.
