Brace yourselves, winter is coming and Christmas is just around the corner! As every year, the season's business promises to boost your sales. In order to prepare you for the festive season, we have developed the cross-selling template function for eBay, which helps you to systematically present further products to your customers on eBay. Read all about it in this blog.
Use cross-selling to present your products on eBay
What was cross-selling again? As an experienced seller, you probably know what the term means, but it never hurts to review. Cross-selling means that you suggest similar, complementary products for the item that your customer wants to buy. For example, your customer wants to buy a beanie and you suggest a matching scarf or a pair of gloves. With the new cross-selling template function for eBay, cross-selling items are displayed below your listing's description on eBay.
Advantages of cross-selling
Cross-selling has many advantages. For instance, if you suggest complementary products to your customers, you encourage them to buy further items and thus have the chance to increase the value of your eBay shopping cart and to generate more sales. Moreover, you can use cross-selling to specifically advertise new items or to sell older items more quickly by drawing your customers' attention towards them. At the same time, cross-selling also helps you increase the visibility of your items. The advantages of cross-selling are clear – use it to call your customers' attention to the products in your eBay shop and systematically sell further items.
