How To Get Repeat Sales On Ebay
Most people can make one sale on ebay, but very few people know
how to make consistent, repeat sales--and even less know how to
make those sales using mechanisms other than ebay.
The most important part of making these "repeat sales" is
building a base of interested customers. This process starts
with selling on ebay, but most people who sell on ebay don't
know how to do it.
Once you complete a sale on ebay, you should always contact your
customer to thank her for purchasing from you and to give her
any follow up details she will need to complete the transaction.
In addition to this, you should also ask your customer whether
or not she is interested in receiving emails from you when your
business is offering special deals, item lotteries, or product
coupons.
This is where "building a base of interested customers" comes
in. If you effectively pitch your email list idea to a customer
(who has already purchased from you and therefore has a high
probability of being interested), you have a decent chance of
getting a positive response. If your customer says yes, add her
to a database on excel, along with her name, email address, and
what she purchased from you.
You will also want to save the email as a record of her
response. As unsolicited bulk email is against the law, it is
always crucial that you have evidence to prove that everyone you
are mailing with offers has specifically asked to be added to
your list.
You should continue to do this--make sales and record names and
information.
Periodically, you should make special offers on your ebay store
inventory. For instance, you could offer 20% off on certain
items for one week. Or you could offer 25% off on all lightbulb
sales in the future, provided they purchase
a lamp within the
next two weeks. Or perhaps you could excite your list by
raffling of an expensive item from your ebay business, like a
plasma TV.
Whatever offer you use to lure them in, just keep your goal in
mind--and that is to drive repeat sales by directing them to
your ebay inventory on a regular basis.
As I mentioned previously, unsolicited bulk email is against the
law. So, along with each notification you send them, you should
include a written explanation of how they can "opt out" of your
mailing list.
One trick you can use to make this method particularly effective
is selling low and then reselling high. This simply means that
you sell inventory on ebay for low prices, so customers have a
low resistance to purchasing it. If they see something
interesting for a dollar, they might just grab it because it is
inexpensive. You complete that dollar sale--and then use it to
get an interested buyer who could potentially purchase something
far more substantial in the future.
In addition to using different tricks to maximize your profits
with this technique, there are also more effective methods you
can use to collect large amounts of personal information and to
conduct email correspondence campaigns. Autoresponders,
websites, and name capture pages are a few of these tools. Once
you become proficient in the simple tactics I explained above,
you should spend some time researching the tools I just
mentioned.
