How to Sell Retail Inventory on Amazon and Ebay
Online retail sales are booming, and the trend will only continue. The Coronavirus pandemic accelerated the shift to e-commerce, and many brick-and-mortar retailers are entering the digital space.
With this added competition, standing out as a small business is only becoming more difficult. While your e-commerce website should be your main source of sales, you want to open additional revenue streams to supplement your business.
Why Sell on Multiple Channels?
Amazon commands 45% of the e-commerce market, making it the go-to shopping source for many consumers. Selling your products on Amazon, as well as other leading marketplaces like eBay, puts your brand in front of millions of buyers.
Not only will selling on these sites introduce you to new consumers, but it also gives you a chance to win their favor. If people like your products, you can redirect them to your store to make further purchases.
While it may seem easy to list one or two products on these platforms, is there a way to seamlessly integrate your inventory directly with these websites?
Yes - let’s see how to do it and more!
Sell More with Epos Now + BigCommerce
If you want to sell on more than one channel, it starts at how you run your store.
