Awesome Online Sellers Holiday info from Lisa Suttora

2009-10-12T09:44:00.001-06:00

Selling online this holiday season?

If so, then you don't want to make these 5 common mistakes that
many online sellers make... (they'll put the Grinch in
your online sales.)

1. Not preparing your website/online store to look like Christmas.

Imagine what your local mall would feel like during the holiday
season WITHOUT all those holiday bells and whistles.

It certainly wouldn't get you in the holiday spirit would it?

Yet frequently, online sellers do nothing to prepare
their stores with a holiday look & feel.

If you want potential holiday shoppers to stop and shop on
your website, you need to let them know that you are dialed-in and
ready for the holiday season.

This doesn't have to cost an arm & a leg either - there are
things you ca n do to bring the spirit of the season (and the
sales) to your website for less than the cost of a dinner out.

2. Merchandising too late. You cannot, I repeat CANNOT wait
until December to start featuring your holiday merchandise.

Otherwise it will simply be TOO late in the season to pick up anything but
last minute sales.

3. If you sell on eBay, in order to get the best visibility for your
products you need to mix up your listing formats. If you've been
selling everything in a Fixed Price Multi-Quantity Format, it's
time to relist or list some new merchandise in a 7 day fixed price
format.

4. Not collecting email addresses of your customers. This is
probably one of the most business devastating mistakes I see
people make during the holidays.

I recently worked with a client who sold almost 800 items
last year during the months of Sept - Dec. and hadn't tracked
any of those customer's email addresses.

That's 800 people who they never followed up with again!

Now there are certain legalities that you need to be
aware of in order to do this so that you'll be in compliance
with the CAN SPAM email laws - but when done correctly,
a simple year-end email can build an ongoing relationship with
your customers for the following year.

5. Telling your customers what you can't/won't do instead of
what you CAN do. Nobody likes to be told "We don't do this or
No, you can't have that."

Well the same goes for your holiday customers.

It's all in how you say it.

"We don't accept checks." should be "We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover & PayPal"

"We can't ship overnight." can be rephrased as "We're delighted to offer two day shipping."

Look at your website, eBay store or listings. Count the # of times
your copy says "We can't" or "We don't" then replace those statements
with "We can" and "We'll gladly."

********************

It takes 43 muscles to frown and only 17 to smile.

The same goes for your holiday web copy - make it smile!

Your customers will thank you by rewarding you with their business!

10 Steps to Holiday Selling Success

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////

We've just talked about the 5 bah humbug mistakes that will
kill your holiday sales and what to do about them...

Now let's talk about the 10 steps TO online holiday sales SUCCESS.

This is my 15th holiday selling season (7 offline & 8 online!) whew!

And if there's one thing I've learned over the years, it's that
you CAN'T do it all during the short 90 days of the core
holiday season from September to December.

(And if you try to do it ALL it will just hurt your sales.)

In fact, over the years I've identified the 10 MOST IMPORTANT
steps you need to take in your online business in order to
boost your holiday sales.

But online strategies change so quickly, these 10 steps are
not the same every year.

That's why I've created this brand new 2009 Holiday
Season Checklist Audio + PDF to guide you through the
10 most important steps to prepare for THIS year's holiday
selling season.

It's like having me sit right next to you at your desk,
coaching you through your holiday prep.

http://skyrocketholidaysales.com <<== Click here

I've priced this 90 minute MP3 audio & PDF workbook at the
ridiculously affordable price of $15 THROUGH October 14th.

*******************

Just one of the tips in the audio helped Melinda sell
seasonal merchandise she didn't even know she had.

"I want to thank you for the idea of repositioning
my everyday merchandise for the holiday season.

I hadn't really planned on selling anything special
this year as I was feeling that I'd started
too late.

Low and behold I sold 3 items last week to a
customer who wanted them for Halloween.

They'd been sitting in my store for months.

If I hadn't featured them as you instructed in the Holiday Checklist, I'm
sure they'd still be sit ting there.

Thanks for helping me to see my inventory in a different
light!

I fully expect to sell much more this holiday!"

Awesome eBay class in Bridgman, Michigan

2009-09-28T16:04:00.003-06:00

We had another wonderful opportunity this past weekend to teach the Basics of Selling on eBay to the Bridgman Public Library in Bridgman, Michigan. We are continually impressed with the excitement and the desire to sell on eBay. Once again the library charged a minimal fee for the class which included a delicious, home-made lunch. The community room at the library was perfect for our class with plenty of room. We enjoyed so much meeting community members and hearing their stories and sharing their interests. Thank you to Denise for setting up this day and thank you to all who came to the class. We wish all of you great success selling on eBay. We understand we will be scheduling another class at this library. Please contact Denise Malevitis at the library to let them know you are interested. Their phone number is: 269-465-4663.

eBay Class in Michigan

2009-04-30T17:59:00.002-06:00

We had a wonderful time in Michigan teaching the Basics of Selling on eBay to a enthusiastic group in a small town in Michigan. The library hired us and charged their patrons a minimal amount so that they could learn the ins and outs of selling on eBay. We were impressed! Here's a state that has been majorly affected by the economy and the library understood the importance of helping people learn how to make a few extra bucks. Thank you to Ann for all you work in setting this up. And thank you to all the community who participated. We enjoyed your participation and your questions. We wish you all the luck in the future selling on eBay.

How to Reach 5.0 On Your eBay Detailed Seller Ratings (DSR's)

2008-11-03T17:06:00.004-06:00

Another friend of ours that is also an Education Specialist trained by eBay, gave us these tips on how to increase your DSR's or Detailed Seller Ratings. We wanted to pass these along to you. Please check out the items she sells and her feedback rating. Her eBay seller ID is hunter-gatherer

Accurate Item Description:

** I do my best to write an accurate/detailed item description & include a good picture (or pictures) ... . including mentioning/showing any flaws in the item.
** I insert my pictures within the written description, especially if there are any flaws/problems. That way I can describe the flaw and show the picture of the area described ... making it easier for bidders/buyers to get a clear understanding of the condition.
** I include a "condition" section that summarizes the condition of the item.

Communication:

** I answer any questions received right away.
** If I add something to the item description, after there is a bidder, I contact the current bidders to let them know about it.
** When the item sells, I send an invoice and put the following info in the message section. (1) Congratulations on winning this auction.. or .. Thank you for using Buy it Now to purchase this item. (2) Payment is due by month/date ...I give the exact date, not just time frame (such as in five days), to avoid any confusion; (3) I tell the buyer "I will post feedback when I receive your payment and send you an email to let you know when I will ship your item (so they know what happens next) and (4) a note to "please let me know if you have any questions.
** When I prepare the item for shipping, if I discover that I missed something in the item description ... I write to let the buyer know and give them the option of canceling the transaction or (in some cases) receiving a partial refund.
** When the payment arrives, I post feedback for the buyer and then I send the buyer an email .. thanking them for their payment, letting them know I already posted feedback for them and when I will mail their package. I also include a reminder about the USPS estimated time frame for delivery (which I think also helps my shipping DSRs).
** If I find out that I cannot mail the item on the date I told them I would, I send them an email explaining the delay. .
** I include a personal, hand-written thank you note on the packing slip.

Shipping Time:

** I state, in my item description, that I mail items within one business day of receiving payment. And, with rare exceptions, I am able to do this because I already prepared the item for shipping, so I could include accurate shipping information in the listing. Then, when the payment arrives, I just have to print and attach the shipping label and take the package to the post office.
** If the payment arrives early enough in the day, I mail the item the same day payment is received. If not, I mail it the next business day (as stated in the item description).
** And, as I mentioned above, when I notify the buyer I am shipping the item .. I remind them about the estimated delivery time.

Shipping & Handling Charges:

** I offer two to three shipping options for all listings (unless it is something big like furniture or a car) ... as I think buyers like to have a choice in shipping method and cost.
** I include a section in my item description about shipping .. letting bidders/buyers know that (1) I do not charge a handling fee and (2) that I will gladly combine items for shipping to save them money on postage. If I offer free shipping, I mention this, too.
** When I ship the item, if I find out I can ship it for less than the buyer paid for shipping, I (in most cases) refund the difference to the buyer.
** I print the postage amount on the shipping label.

And.. three other things I do, in certain circumstances.

Free Shipping Upgrades - Usually this happens when the buyer pays for parcel post shipping, but priority mail is not much more. By giving them a 'free shipping upgrade' I actually save money, as I can use the free USPS boxes & get free delivery confirmation. But sometimes I do it because it is a repeat customer or someone who has just been extra nice to "work with". Sometimes I don't tell the buyer that I've done this .. but often I send the buyer a note to say something like "To thank you for your fast PayPal payment, I have upgraded your shipping to priority mail so you will receive your item a bit sooner" or "I wasn't able to mail your package within one business day of receiving your payment, so I've upgraded your shipping to Priority Mail so it will still arrive 'on time' or "To thank you for your repeat business, I've upgraded your shipping to priority mail."

Free Insurance - When a shipping upgrade isn't financially feasible, but I still want to do a little something extra for the buyer, I sometimes pay to add insurance on the item. And send a similar thank you note, but mention that although I've never had an eBay item lost or damaged by USPS, I've paid to add insurance to your item.

Free bonus item - Since I've been hunting and gathering for a very long time . . . I often have extra items (such as stickers, a post card or spare part) that relate to something I've listed/sold .. so I tuck one in the box as a little surprise for the buyer.

Big Crumbs - Shop Online & Save

2008-10-10T16:51:00.005-06:00

It's been awhile since we have posted anything on our blog. We've been very busy teaching people how to sell on eBay, selling our own products on eBay, as well as keeping up with our everyday sign business. Whew! There isn't enough time in the day.

We had a wonderful time at eBay Live which was held in Chicago this past summer. We are always amazed at the eBay community, their passion and drive, and the many different items each one sells. We went to many seminars and wish we could have gone to more but time didn't allow it.

In September, we gave a presentation and manned a booth at the SBDC convention (Small Business Development Centers) in Chicago. We were asked by eBay and Power U to promote eBay Education classes to the SBDC. It was a wonderful experience and hopefully, we will be able to do it again next year.

Now, we need to gear up for the holidays. With Christmas around the corner, we will busy selling our many personalized novelty signs. Please visit our store http://stores.ebay.com/Appealing-Signs

We just joined a new group called Big Crumbs. If you haven't heard about it, please check it out. We've found an easy way to earn some extra income.

BigCrumbs.com gives us cash back when we shop online at places like Best Buy, Target, Gap, Old Navy, Overstock.com and a lot more.

Even better, when we tell people about it and they sign up, we get paid every time they shop.

about phishing. You'll also see what we're doing to help fight fraud
every day.
