Thanks Ginger! I’m glad you stopped by to say hello. There’s a lot more to come here at my new blog! Online holiday sales are already looking good this year, so I really want to help people get laser focused on the most effective selling and marketing strategies. This is showtime! – Lisa

Lisa,
I have to say I am an avid follower of your intuition. I always read your information thoroughly. I would recommend you to any internet based seller. Thanks Lisa

It’s a great way to test market products or supplement your vintage inventory. When you think of it from the Product Sourcing Mindset™ where you are looking at everything as an opportunity for resale online, you’ll start to recognize an abundance of opportunities you hadn’t seen before. – Lisa

I usually sell vintage one of a kind items but have already been looking for NEW items to resale with your #5 strategy. I found some disney pjs on sale for 5.00 (regular 16$) and instead of buying one for each of my grandchildren, I bought 2 each and am selling the extra on eBay. This way, if they don’t sell, I at least have more pjs for my grandchildren so there’s no way I can lose!

Hi Janet, Fantastic! Make it an event. And be sure and let people know that this is a Limited Edition or Limited Release. If you are selling on eBay, use your sub-title to let people know that it’s a Limited Release and you only have limited quantities. (eBay sub-titles when used properly is some of the most effective and inexpensive advertising on the web.) If you can create a quick graphic that also you can place on your website or eBay listing that says “Limited Release” or “Limited Edition” that is a very powerful marketing strategy. Also, don’t want for your customer to come to you! If you have an email marketing list, zip them an email to let your readers know what’s happening. Go everywhere your customers are and give them the heads up! – Lisa

Thank you for the great strategies. They are going to come in handy, as I have a limited release item that will be coming out for Thanksgiving weekend. Prelaunch begins on Nov 19. So I’m keeping my fingers crossed that my market won’t be so saturated and focused on their holiday stuff, that they miss their opportunity.

So, I will definitely be changing my strategy to focusing on your #3 suggestion! HONESTLY, THANK YOU!!!

Have a great Retail Resale™ Season

Hi Melanie,
The changes you’ve made to both your websites in the “prime real estate” area of the sites look great! They engage your customers more than the previous graphics. Excellent.
