You have gone through a lot – Time, Money, emotional turmoil, High sales dream, big seller reputation etc. & suddenly you have start over again.
Well, our expert team has brought up some interesting secrets that your designers won’t tell you, & if you know them before hand you can save you lot of time & money.
Secret #1: Good looks bring in sales, but not everytime.
Yes, you want your eBay store front design to look ravishing & visually great but good looks doesn’t work all time. If they say you great looking designs will fetch you more sales then ask them how.
If you get a beautiful design & desired sales figures than it is well & good, but if have to make choice between these two then go for getting results, because you are on eBay to sell & not in a beauty contest where looks matter the most.
Secret #2: They say you need a Redesign
What happens when you say your sales are down? They will immediately advice you for a redesign even if you don’t need one. They are just eying on big dollars.
There are many reasons for sales being down like – your content needs to be rewritten, your brand image may be pulling wrong target market, you may need a revitalising marketing strategy on the hole or even there may be an issue with your product or service.
Then why redesign?
Well you will be surprised if we say there is nothing wrong with your design. Just a recheck on your existing marketing strategy will do all you need to grow your sales. Hurrah! You saved a lot of money.
Secret #3: You don’t need to invest your life time savings
A good eBay store front design want cost a fortune. We don’t do it. Draft a budget & find a designer/s who can work within that budget. Yes, it’s easy to find one.
Many designer/s give free quotes ask for it & compare with your budget. This will save a big amount of money. Don’t jump in the run down, take your time.
Secret #4: Maintenance Charges or Monthly Subscription
eBay shop designs are usually a onetime expense, amateurish designers or individuals try such kind of unethical business practices. They bill you every month for maintenance or subscription charges which is totally a hoax.
Maintenance? What the hell is maintenance? Are you purchasing a studio apartment so you have to pay maintenance charges? Even they spare the residents.
There is absolutely nothing like maintenance, so don’t even entertain such designers who ask for the same. Simply say NO.
Secret #5: An out of the Box design
On the way to stand out & look different online your eBay shop designs end up being vague. We don’t deny the fact to have an out of the box design, infact we too design & deliver the same. But sometimes designing out of the box you completely go out of recognition & lose your brand identity. So, handle the “out of box” carefully.
Secret #6: Branding is not a cup of tea for all designers.
Branding requires specialization & is done with utmost expertise. They might be brilliant in designing, but not in branding. They are just assuming, they are not sure shot on this & you better know the meaning of assumption.
Hence, hire a brand specialist. Don’t waste your time teaching others how to brand your products.
Secret #7: Psychology of Designing
It is an art, not just Photoshop. It’s about how you want your buyer to behave when they visit your store. Where you want them to click & what will fetch them their desired products or services.
Best designers know the buyers psychology & shopping patterns. They know how to influence buyers & sell more. But wait, did they tell you about this? NO. Then search for a good designer who will build great stores that hold buyers for a long time & brings you sales.
