Hi everyone! It's finally spring time and for most of you with online stores that means preparing things for listing in your store or on an auction site. I was reading an article that said online sales on some sites have gone up by as much as 70%! The economy is getting worse with the high cost of living, gas prices skyrocketing, food prices increasing and many related product costs rising.
The increasing amount of people listing items online has forced the asking price of many of these items to be reduced significantly. Keep this in mind when managing your online listings. With everything going on, this may not be the best time to list too many items on a site like Ebay with the hope of a decent return.
I'd advise using all your marketing logic to decide what works for you this time of year and what won't. During spring cleaning you may uncover some gems that seem worth listing, but will you really get what they're worth? Hang on to the valuables for a later time and only sell what you have to. Resist the temptation for a quick buck and you might be surprised down the road by how much extra you can make at the right time. With online marketing, timing can be everything. Don't lose sight of your goals.
