I have received my 46th
gold star. A gold star is a positive customer feedback rating. I truly do this
for the gold star because I am all about ensuring that the customer experience
is the best! When the lady sales that my dress is as advertised, I am taken
aback. I mean, aren’t all people doing truth in advertising. Then I remember my
eBay experience where I have to deal with fraud and people trying to get
refunds out of thin air. I have always prided myself on telling the truth and
providing accurate product descriptions. If there is a hole or a rip, I
photograph it and write it in the description (Full disclosure – the item that
I have sold her isn’t ripped!). I am all about telling the truth because
integrity is big and my buyers love me for it.
Sellers have a love/hate
relationship with the phrase holiday sale. They love the extra shoppers and
money but hate planning for and converting that deluge into sales. Well, fear
no because here are my three ways to
prepare your online store for a holiday sale.
Have a sales target
Remember
this is a business. You can’t manage what you can’t measure. You have to know
what you expect to make. Having a sales target accomplishes this.
Create a holiday-specific marketing campaign
Don’t
be lazy by creating generic holiday marketing campaign! You cannot recycle
holidays even when they are in the same season. Even though Memorial Day and
Labor Day are both in the summertime, they are at different points in the
season. What works for Memorial Day (the start of summer) does not work for
Labor Day (the end of summer); and, vice versa.
Discount all out-of-season clothes and start introducing some of the
in-season clothing
I
have added introducing the next season’s clothing because it is often overlook;
but, it is important. Holidays mean heavier traffic than normal with a lot of
random non-customers. Well, this holiday sales weekend is your opportunity to
convert them. Having select clothing for the upcoming season, gives your customers
a sneak peek into what’s next for your store. Customers love behind the scenes.
Showing the upcoming season also plays upon the whole fear of missing out
(FOMO) emotion. If you don’t buy it now while it is not in-season, this item
may not be around post-holiday sale when it is in season.
As an online seller is important
to have a sales target, specific target marketing campaign and a seamless
seasonal inventory strategy to adequately prepare your store for this upcoming
holiday season.

I
awake this morning with the usual vim and vigor. I go about my day checking my
eBay to see if a buyer has responded to my counteroffer (She hasn’t). Lo and
behold I see it: my 40th gold star! You don’t know the euphoria I
always feel whenever I receive a new one! Below are my two blog posts about
receiving my gold stars:
A gold star on eBay means high
customer service and that the seller loves my item! I grateful that the
customer feel the same love that I display for my store and them.
Promoting your eBay store is a full-time job in itself! You have
blogging, livestreams, sharing your merchandise, doing podcasts, etc.
Livestream has helped me sell a whole lot of merchandise.
How often should I do store merchandise livestreams?
You should do one at least once a week. I do my eBay YouTube
livestreams whenever I get sales. I feel that my customers should see the
current inventory. I also do Periscope and YouTube livestreams whenever I add
or relist items because the inventory change and I want customers to know about
it!

I received an email from a buyer talking about being on vacation and wanting me to hold her item. Well, it is in an open case for an unpaid item strike. Since she was a repeat buyer, I was in the process of contacting eBay to see what I could do. I had something like this happen to me before. I had a lady who bought an item, it became an unpaid item strike. After the case closed, she emailed me saying that she was on vacation in western Africa and had janky wifi (She never bought the item). It was amazing how some people thought that eBay was layway but the rules clearly stated that you had to pay for your item in 48 hours. Stories like these were one of the reasons why I started eBay Adventures because future resellers needed to know the real!

My eBay sales were coming in at a very fast clip. It was unbelievable. I did think it the increase was attributed to my blogging, the return of eBay Adventure and embedding my eBay YouTube livestream into every post. More people were watching my livestream and learning about my store translating into sales. In the midst of all of this I mislabeled a dress. While in the process of preparing it for shipment, I saw that the label was something different. After conferring with Mommy, I did the right thing which was tell the buyer my mental brain fart. She was okay with it and I kept the money. I was just happy that I didn’t let my brain fart upset my shopping cart. What I did start doing was take better inventory and didn’t commit everything to memory.

New week, new items. I have added three new items (Ann Taylor Loft, Erin Fetherston, and Kate Spade) to my store at ridiculous prices! Remember, I am a fashion luxury consignment reseller giving you Neiman Marcus merchandise at near rock bottom prices! This week is no different where I am discounting my new items by over 50%. Check these three items and all of the rest here in my eBay store.
The sales keep rolling in and I am NOT complaining one bit! I have thankful that I got off my duff this past Monday and have done the livestream else I would be sitting here flummoxed as to why things aren’t selling. I have done much more since the livestream but doing this YouTube Live is the starting point. I have written blog posts, done Facebook Live broadcasts (must cross-promote and go where the customers are!), shared my merchandise on Twitter at least twice per day, priced according to the eBay recommendations and shared my blog posts to some Twitter re-share accounts every day since Monday. The result is 5 sales this week. I have just made a sale and completed a payment today. It feels great when I keep going, being diligent and thinking of new ways to promote my store every single day because I reap the rewards.

I awake this morning and do my normal routine: morning walk, breakfast, etc, etc. However, my routine is disrupted with an eBay offer. I check my account and see it along with a ‘pay ship now’ alert. I click on it and see that one of my dresses sold last night while I was asleep. I hit the roof because this transaction more than compensated for the open case I had against someone who hasn’t paid (more on that later!). I submit a counteroffer to the low offer. The buyer meets me halfway and because she is a repeat customer, I accept. All of a sudden, that’s two sales; but, it doesn’t stop there. The buyer with the open case buys the shoes making it three; and, there is even more because I have received a fourth sale! It is like the floodgates are open. How has this all happen at the same time?
I have laid the groundwork. This past Monday, after seeing one of my favorite YouTube channels post a video the day before the Fourth of July, I bossed up and did my eBay livestream! I didn’t stop there writing not one but two blog posts which I circulated on Twitter and loaded up onto HootSuite. It didn’t stop there! On the Fourth of July, I wrote 12 Things I Learned During My First Year on eBay on my personal site. Finally, I reduced my prices according to the eBay recommendations, relisted some more inventory and kept resharing my eBay inventory every day at noon and 9pm EST. After diligently planting the seeds, I have reaped the harvest. These three extra sales are due to hard work! I haven’t stopped because I have listed a new item, taken some more photos which I will upload tomorrow and kept resharing my inventory on my Twitter account. I am not stopped because I am having all of these sales. I have hacked my process, double downed and am ready to reload with more new merchandise on the way!

It is the day before Independence Day and I am chilling. I am still putting my brand out there (I know that people will take off by noon EST if they haven’t already) but haven’t looked at actually doing hard. Yet, when I see somewhere whom I follow on YouTube put out a business video the day before a holiday, then it is high time for me to BOSS up and schedule this eBay YouTube Livestream and get to this money!
Moreover, I have done four Facebook Live videos discussing my July goals which I will upload on YouTube because people are watching them and I have a responsibility to provide my Facebook community to keep them updated. I mean I have written my July goals on July 1st. It is Monday and this is the first business day of July. My Facebook community is conditioned to the weekly Monday livestreams regardless of holiday except Christmas and New Year’s.
This morning I have watched Becky
A Davis’ 40 Days of Prayer for My Business http://bosspreneur.thinkific.com/courses/take/40-days-of-prayer-for-my-business
. In Day 36 she preaches from the Book of Isaiah about enlarging your tent.
Immediately I think about my certification since I have passed my exam this
past Sunday. However, I have enlarged my territory including eBay because I
have been on there for over 1 year. Hey, I can do another YouTube Live
showcasing my new merchandise. It must have been serendipity because I receive
a bid in my inbox. The night before I have shared my merchandise on social
media and viola, a buyer.
I
have spent this entire day thinking bigger. I have recorded three more videos
including the new about me video for my new certification. I have to keep
promoting my new certification because no one else will. I am very grateful
that people in one of my LinkedIn group are liking my certification article. I
truly need the support. I’ve posted my new about me video article. I have come
up with a 1-minute breakdown for my new certification showcasing my service
management proficiency. Right after shooting it, it clicks that I can shoot a
1-minute PMP breakdown too. I will drip these videos tomorrow and Friday. I
will publish them on my blog and republish them on two different social media
platforms to increase my reach. I am enlarging my tent by thinking bigger
resulting in more video promotions.
I
have also enlarged my tent by posting my online shop articles because I have
not told anyone in over one month about my store. Well, today is high time to
do so because if I am not mentioning what is in my store then no one knows
about. In addition, I have done a new eBay YouTube Livestream showing my new
merchandise. I have updated my inventory telling me about the sale and given
them some business knowledge.
When I saw the second charge this
morning, I decided that the buck stopped here! I was no longer just going to
take it! I filed a complaint with an agency telling them that the bank made the
mistake not me and that I spoke with the vendor to resolve this matter. It felt
great because I knew that the bank would listen to the agency. Next when I
learned that the mail which I was awaiting didn’t come, I called the bank to
address my situation. Even though it had to do verification (why when it was
taking money out of my account. People steal from those who have money NOT the
other way around!). I managed to get my charges removed turning my balance back
to positive. I was still happy that I filed because the person talked about the
decision may not go my way. Huh? The bank took my money. Y’all better refund
it. Pronto!
On
a much happier note, I made another sale. This meant that I would do another
Periscope. I did one yesterday and immediately received a sale. I will keep
doing it until every item sold. I also need to meet my weekly sales goals and
keep me afloat in the meantime. I admit that at the start of this week, I would
have never thought that I would be in this position. All I want is a smooth
week without the craziness especially when I have NOT caused any of it. I am in
disbelief that someone who is NOT an instigator of any kind is the one getting
put through so much mess!
Goodness! Here I am thinking that
I have stretch my money all the way until the end of this week only to learn
via voicemail that one of my parents has watched my YouTube videos and is
giving me money to upgrade my ‘presence.’. Immediately I tell everyone on
Facebook because my parents are 65+ and they are critiquing my YouTube videos!
How many senior citizens are doing that?! Exactly! Also I check my bank balance
and see that there is way more than what’s in there yesterday. I can breathe
just a little (I wish I would have known a little earlier else I would not had
cancelled that meeting because I thought that I was dirt poor. That’s another
blog post though.). Furthermore, PayPal says that my echeck has cleared so now
my other money isn’t held up. I transfer that ASAP! Today truly feels like the
wheels are churning.
I
am still putting a lot of new items into my eBay store to start summer off on
the right note. I also want to move as much merchandise as possible. I have
started doing eBay YouTube Livestreams and will do one later today because
YouTube gives me another audience and storage options. I can also embed these
videos online. I particularly love the screenshare feature because then all I
have to do is plug in my webcam, show my eBay store and roll! I am still
pushing myself to earn more money than I did yesterday!
Sheesh!
As soon as the money comes, the money goes. I check my bank account and am down
to little or no money. Even though I am grateful to have cash in my pocket, I
am happy that deposited the money else everything will bounce. See I am happy
because I don’t have to think about the what-ifs. It could have ended worse
than where I am sitting. However, at least I don’t have a negative balance.
Yet,
somethings are tied up elsewhere; and, I am fixing to make sure that I get
these matters resolved. I know that I have the sales capability to generate the
income necessary. After all, I am grateful to have one eBay sale and I know
that once I have another sale…then another and then another. I will return to
Periscope, add merchandise and try something new this time: YouTube Live. I
have done YouTube Live with project management and webinar; but, never my eBay
