Can Ebay Help My Non-ebay Businesses?
Yes, eBay can help your non-eBay businesses make more money. eBay is very well known and has been around for a while now. A lot of people have discounted the quality of this business, but I think it still has huge potentials to help people both at selling things online, and even helping an offline business get more sales.
The most hard to believe fact about eBay is that it gets the same amount of searches a day as Google. What makes this fact even better is that the people that search at eBay actually are looking to buy. This is the ideal customer. Let’s say you sell fishing supply, if someone searches for fishing supply and gets to your listing, you know that they are looking and willing to buy fishing supply.
The question now is how do you get that targeted customer off of eBay and to one of your other businesses. Well there are a few ways:
- Classifieds: You can put these informational bits on eBay that aren’t necessarily an auction. It’s exactly like a classifieds in a Newspaper. So you make a classifieds ad on fishing supplies, saying something like “I’m currently looking to get rid of x, y, z. Please email me for more information.” People from eBay will search, find this and send you a message.
- Upselling: This is a lot more interesting of a concept and it builds a much better long lasting relationship. What you’re going to do is just put a regular auction up on the site and sell it. Now you have the information of a person that you know is interested in fishing. You can always send them a personalized email saying, “How’s your fishing rod treating you? I currently got some new product name and I thought you might be interested”. It’s a very interesting way to resell to a person you know is interested.
