Why you should Open an Ebay Store
December 14, 2007
If you are considering opening an online business then you would be making a drastic mistake to overlook Ebay as a valuable source of potential customers. Ebay counts for approximately 10% of the ecommerce revenue generated worldwide and boasts 187 Million users.
EBay presents a very cost effective channel to sell your products and services to an enormous international marketplace and continues to be a very effective channel to generate revenue.Having a presence on eBay can generate brand awareness in both the offline and online worlds.
Listings on eBay are not just items for sale but act to market your products to eBay’s vast user base. The ebay interface can be customized to reflect your corporate identity and some of the world’s largest companies can be found in the Ebay marketplace including Dell, Canon and HP.
These companies take advantage of an excellent channel to liquidate old stock or returned goods as well as being a cost effective channel for promoting their brand.
Cost effective
Compared to building an ecommerce site eBay provides a very cost effective platform for selling and marketing online and an Ebay store can be opened for approximately 15 dollars per month. Compare that to rent for a commercial site or a traditional e-commerce store and you will see an Ebay store as the value leader that it is.
International exposure
eBay is now operational in 29 countries opening up your company to an international marketplace of 187 million users and a $40 billion market. On eBay items can be listed internationally or just nationally depending on the requirements of your business.
