Partner with MarketAmerica to Increase Sales

If you are a web retailer looking to increase sales and revenue, then think about diversifying your reach.  Selling products through marketplaces such as Ebay, Amazon, and Buy.com are great ways to push your brand and products worldwide.  They are also cost-effective ways to increase sales if you have a good strategy setup.  While  there may be other marketplaces setup that allow you to post for free, most of them are not good, but some can be worth the time and effort.  One in particular is from MarketAmerica.  This marketplace is easy and free to partner with.  They handle the marketing and the ordering.  You handle the shipping and any customer service issues.  They do take a percentage of the sale, but what marketplace doesn’t.  So, if you are looking for another avenue to sell your products, check out MarketAmerica.

In order to set partnered with them, you have to fill out their Join Now form, and then have your account approved.  You will then need to load up your products into their site.  Your website gets its own store on MarketAmerica, which you can add your logo and some marketing lingo to.  Customers come to MarketAmerica to shop some of the best online stores and yours can be apart of it.  Customers can search the site or just go straight to the store listing pages.  Once they find a product, they checkout on MarketAmerica through their EZ Cart.  Once the order is complete, you get an email indicating the sale and the need to ship the product.  The great thing is that you do not have to worry about fraud, as MarketAmerica takes care of all of that.  They verify the orders for you, so you don’t have to mess with that overwhelming step.  It is the same as Amazon and Buy.com.  Once an order is shipped, you log in to their merchant area and put in the tracking number.  This then emails the customer the information, so they can track their package.

As a previous online store owner, I used and flourished on MarketAmerica.  I sold consumer electronics for over 5 years and have about 2 years experience on this marketplace.  It is well developed and has a good amount of customers coming to it.  Mind you, it is not Amazon or Buy.com, but it does help supplement your online sales.  Since it is free to join, I would take the time to check it out and see if it might be a fit for your online business.  Good luck selling!

The New Glyde Marketplace

These days online marketplaces are popping up everywhere from the new Walmart marketplace to Sears starting their own.  While these are good marketplaces, we have found one that looks promising because it only deals with DVD’s, CD’s, Books, and Video Games.  The marketplace was created by a previous ebay person, who wanted to simplify the processing of selling and buying online.  He created Glyde to simplify the marketplace world.

Glyde is simple to search for products that you are interested in and they accept Visa and Mastercard as payments.  The best part is selling on Glyde.  They do not have any upfront costs, but do charge 10% when the product sells.  The thing that we found kind of different is that Glyde will send you, the seller, a prepaid, pre-addressed envelope to ship the product that you sold.  This means that you do not need to worry about finding something to ship your product in.  Once your customer receives the item or items, you profit will be put into you Glyde account which can be pulled out by bank or wire transfer.  This makes it simple, secure, and easy.  This will be a great place for sellers to start their business or test the selling waters online.  Go ahead and Checkout Glyde.com for your next purchase.
