eBay.. leverage your profits use surveymonkey.com?
Hi Ed WeBBers,
I want to get a greater ‘insight’ into exactly who I’m talking to!
Yes: like most business owners and marketers, I’ve got a good idea of who ‘you’ are.
But I think very few people have the complete picture – and it’s important to be as complete as you can.
This is very important for all eBayers too…
which is why I’ve mentioned it here today.
In short, do YOU really know who you’re selling to?
Consider this scenario: you’re selling kitchen knife sets.
You sell a big set of these high-quality knives, and you are selling a good few of these things per day.
YET – you don’t know who is really buying them.
Ed…does it matter, i mean we all use them for some chore or another?
Of course it does…Doris, there’s more money to be made from serial killers buying them than a soup eater!
SHE EATS TOO MANY POT NOODLES..NOW WHERE WAS I..
Ahh yes, You do this for a year – then something ‘clicks’. Turns out, it’s not really consumers buying these things as you’d expect; actually, it’s businesses!
(Maybe it’s lower-end restaurants or the like).
You realise you could have sold tons more by putting the knives in different categories, or by playing up other features/benefits of the product through your description.
Damn.It.
This is just a quick eBay example of WHY knowing just who you’re talking to is so important.
What can you do then?
Well, sites like surveymonkey.com is free to use if you get less than 100 responses.
Check it out if you want to do your own survey.
More simply, though, take a look at the addresses (and names) of the people who buy your stuff; often this can give you some insight (but not a complete picture).
I suppose the question for the day then is…
“Do you REALLY know who you’re talking to, can you leverage more profits?”
That’s what i call “food for thought”!
Any road, while the monkey does it survey, I’m going to delve into this book?
$12.99
AHH my favourite childhood character, seems like us all however, this marmalade eating bear, has fell on hard times and chosen a liquid diet,hes traded the the “Golden Shred” for the “Amber Nectar”, don’t miss my next instalment, when i bear all on how to register your domain name and set up your hosting for your blog, so do stay sober for that peeps ?
