2. Take advantage of Marketplace channels
The Internet offers the possibility to use certain platforms to sell your products or services online even without having an ecommerce.
These platforms, i.e. Marketplaces, are intermediaries on which you can create a showcase for your company, taking advantage of their spread and their audiences of buyers.
Amazon, Ebay, AirBnB, Gumtree, Etsy, Not on the highstreet (NOTHS), GAME Marketplace, etc. are just some of the platforms that allow you to advertise your company and sell your products and services online.
Each marketplace offers different services, and relying on them means extending your sales network and delegating some responsibilities. A bit like the equivalent of a shopping center that deals with the sales network, shop assistants, promotions, payment management etc. in exchange for a percentage on your products.
Exploiting these channels will certainly offer you greater visibility than that of your e-commerce or your physical store, in addition to the fact that you will no longer have to think about some onerous aspects for your company both in terms of costs and time.
3. Encourage your clients
When you have found the right channel to sell online, you can start planning some strategies to stimulate people to buy your products and services.
Both social networks and search engines, in fact, have tools that will allow you to identify potential customers and convince them to buy.
Some of the most important are:
• Call to Action (CTA)
This is the real invitation to action, a button that can be placed on a banner on your website, on a post on social networks and in many other virtual places.
• Retargeting
“Repeat iuvant” said the Latins, and to date little has changed, to convince potential customers to finalize their purchase, sometimes it may be necessary to repeat the message and re-propose your products several times.
• Sales Funnel
This English word, which literally means funnel, indicates a guided tour that you can take your customers on. From the moment they come into contact with your brand, they are channeled into the funnel that will lead them to become customers and finally brand ambassadors.
