Tweak Your eBay Store for the Holidays
Tis the season to get your eBay store “in the mood” for the holidays!
Add some fun and character to your store front as well as your auction templates!
Some sellers are playing Christmas Carols while others are showing snow falling on their auction pages!
You could add a dash of candy canes or a simple welcome wreath. If you’re looking for a high profile professional look, eBay has a wonderful “Design Center” available.
They even have some awesome ready made templates with easy to understand set-up instructions. They could be easily “tweaked” to meet your Holiday decoration needs.
Be sure and review the color wheel chart in the “Do’s and Don’t” area. Color is important when designing a store.
If you don’t have the time to DIY then you can search the directory loaded with “Certified eBay Store Designers” ready to dig right into your store design!
If you do decide to pay a designer, take your time and ask for references. There are hundreds to pick from!
It’s interesting to
take a look at some awesome make-overs that eBay is showing the Before and After photos of a few different store designs. This should help get you motivated to get busy creating a great store design!
If you are a current eBay seller and have the inventory then now is the time to set-up an eBay store!
If you’ve never had a store before, give it a try now and devote yourself to listing items in your store and running it for at least 3 months.
This is the biggest selling time of the year! “November, December and January!”
This is my biggest selling time of the year! I personally make more money in January than I do in any other month of the year! But again, it depends on what kind of items you are selling. It also depends on the marketing strategies you use.
I promote my store heavily and I encourage you to do the same. Give it your all for 3 months and see how it goes! $15.95 a month is a small price to pay considering the profits to be made!
A Brick and Mortar “Life sized City Store” will have a much higher lease for one month AND it will not reach millions of potential customers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!
If you’re looking for ways to market your eBay stores or even your ebay items, I did a TalkRadio show about this topic. You can listen in or download the podcast at: “Let’s Talk eBay!”
I’ve shared many tips and tricks with driving traffic directly to your eBay items based on one of my popular eBooks:
