Selling Tips
|
|
| |
MyOwnCreation is the perfect
website for all artists, craftsmen and sculptors to list their work for sale
on the internet. What is more, it can be done for free. No listing fee
and no commission. We connect you with people who are looking for your
art or craft but we do not handle to 'money'
side of your transaction. That we leave to you so you can be sure that your
money is safe.
To help you make more sales
from your listing, we have made a list of some useful points for your
guidance:
-
ALWAYS add a photograph. Take the
best quality digital photograph that you can but any photo is better than
none at all. There is no point in listing an item with no photograph.
-
Really try to 'sell' your item by
making the description as catchy and appealing as you can. Avoid
descriptions that are too short or too long.
-
Pick a good price for your item.
Only you can judge the correct price but as a guide you could do a search
for similar items and see what they are doing. Don't forget that P&P
must be INCLUDED in your price.
-
List your item for as long and as often as
you can.
-
If you sell a range of items, list
as many as you can. You don't have to do them all at once so you can list
them 1 or 2 a day. If customers want to see your items together they can
do a search on your name.
-
Double check the email address you
have registered. There is no point in entering a false or incorrect email
address as customers will not be able to contact you!
-
Make sure you have changed your SPAM
filter to allow emails from MyOwnCreation. Customers will make initial
contact with you through our confidential email system. We also send you
messages. If you don't do this your emails from us will will be filed in
your SPAM folder and you will lose sales!
-
Use all the selling tools you can to
make your item stand out. We have provided you with some optional tools
such as 'bold listing', 'featured item' listing and additional photographs
(good for sculpture, wood and metal art) which will help your item stand
out from the rest. There is a small charge for using these tools.
-
Use our FREE marketing prints to
spread the word. All you need to do is print the ones you most like and
put them on your stall, stick them in your window or distribute them to
your friends and neighbours as you see fit.
-
Keep trying! Remember that there
always appears to be more sellers than buyers. If you don't take advantage
of our free listing as often as you can then you are reducing your chances
of a sale.
-
Keep your listing up to date. Log
into your item account and amend details if necessary. i.e. if the price
has changed or if the item is sold. Don't forget, a 'SOLD' sign against
your item is a good advert for all your other listed items. Think about an
Estate Agents window and how many sold properties there are!
-
Use the logo! By using the logo you
become part of the MyOwnCreation brand used by hundreds of other artists
and craftsmen just like you. Tell everyone that
you list your items on MyOwnCreation and get them to check out the site.
If they use search engines to find us then search on 'handmade gifts' or
'art and craft'. That way these phrases will rise to the top of the index
which in turn will help you.
-
Support other members. If you have a
special occasion in the family coming up, have a look on MyOwnCreation to
see if there is a card or gift that fits the bill.
-
Help us to help you. Remember that
we do not charge a listing fee so our revenue comes from adverts and
extras. Please help us by buying from other site users and using our advertisers
whenever you can. Thank you.
