Have you been in a tough spot without knowing what would be the best way to go about selling your products online?
Let’s find some simple ways to sell your products without spending too much.
Use Multiple Platforms
Without just depending on one platform alone, you can list your items in several of very affordable platforms like eBay , Amazon , Facebook Marketplace , Catch, Kogan & even live streaming platforms like GoLive to increase the visibility.
You can even use free social media platforms to create your business pages & enter into online communities & groups on platforms such as Facebook, Twitter & Linkedin.
But do not forget to research where your target audience likes to shop before deciding which platform to use for selling & advertising your products.
Build your online store
Rumour has it that building your eCommerce store is quite expensive which can go up to even $5000-$10000 per month.
If this is the rumour you have heard, it might not have been updated because there are quality web design services in Australia for an affordable price.
Not to brag, but WebMob is one such web design service provider with a starting price of just $197 per month. WebMob has several plans & also provides additional services such as digital marketing, graphic design & IT support.
Use Keywords in Descriptions
Did you know that the more descriptive & informative you are about your products, the chances of your visibility to our customers increase?
Imagine you have some shoe products with different sizes & colors you would like to sell on your website or online platform like eBay.
Rather than just saying ‘Red shoes’ as your image caption, you can add ‘Red-Leather-Sandals size-7’. You can add more details in your description, information on the material & how to best use the product, etc.
If you are worried about how on earth you are going to know about keywords, you can install a free extension like Keyword Surfer or GrowthBar to research trending keyword ideas & Google Trends for the latest trending topics worldwide.
Remember that the top keywords you researched last month would downrank a few months later. So you will have to update your listings at least every three months.
Detailed Product Pictures
Imagine you sell clothes! It would be a great idea to have several shots of your clothes with a model wearing them in different angles & colors in different lighting, etc.
You would be able to help your customers a lot in deciding on the color, material, etc. of products without having any doubts & help to reduce the returns as they have a clear idea of what they are buying from your online store.
Create a Way to Communicate with Your Customers Quickly & Politely
Listing your products in the best creative way possible & making them more visible is not enough if you want to make your customers happy & loyal to you. If you take days & weeks to reply to questions asked by customers before/after purchasing, you will lose sales.
If the number of products you sell is limited or the audience is small or you have a separate person dedicated to reply for customer inquiries, you might be able to handle the volume daily. But if it comes to a point where you become unable to work on all the inquires & they get ignored, it would be a good idea to do the following.
- If you realise that you receive similar questions from a lot of customers, you can add more details in your product listing.
- You can even add a FAQ section for your product listings.
- Use a tool like eDesk that can integrate all your platforms on one help desk.
