Spring Fling Shopping
Link to Your Mom Biz
Spring has arrived, and there are many Spring Flings going on around the blogosphere! Start your holiday shopping here!
As a Mompreneur, I understand the value of paying it forward. I was a former eBay store owner where I sold boutique childrens clothing, and now sell vintage sewing patterns on Bonanzle, and welcome any free advertising that comes my way.
Looking To Be a Success Selling Online? Start By Selling Yourself!
Sure, everyone wants to sell their products online and make some decent money; but those who ultimately fail at it are usually the ones who don’t take the time to sell themselves right along with those products.
Why Do You Need to Sell Yourself?
It’s a hard idea to grasp, isn’t it? Actually it’s not when you think about it this way:
People tend to buy from those they have some level of trust with.
What Does it Mean to Sell Yourself?
Selling yourself is done through building relationships with those you intend to sell to. It’s important to create a bond with them to encourage a level of trust with you, so you can make the sale to them in the end.
To find your target market, you need to use outlets like the social media websites and message board forums that relate to your business site’s topic.
It’s also important to note that the relationship you build with your target market will need to be kept up; even after the sale. Your customers need to continue to have trust with you in order to keep coming back when they want to buy. This is easily done through your customer service skills and by providing them with excellent products.
Once you’ve introduced yourself to your targeted audience, you can begin getting to know them while they get to know you. The relationship you build through these outlets can be immeasurable when it comes to your business.
Whether you sell on Etsy, eBay, Bonanzle, your own website – if you’re a crafter, jewelry maker, butcher, baker or candlestick maker – I’d like to pay-it-forward and invite you and other WAHMs to leave your link to your mom-owned business on the Linky.
Please link ONLY to your mom-owned business. This is not a giveaway linky. You can list your Giveaways on the Giveaway Linky HERE.
