Connect with Potential Customers
We’ve all heard lots of numbers about the size and growth of social media. It’s staggering. 73% of online adults in the U.S. use social networking sites. Over 1.61 billion people worldwide. That doesn’t guarantee it’s right for your business.
But 78% of consumers say posts made by companies on social media influence their buying decisions. At the very least you should be doing your homework. If it looks like it might be a fit for your business and what you’re selling, test it.
How Can Social Media Marketing Work for Amazon Sellers?
As Amazon sellers, we know that the Buy Box is rotated every few minutes, meaning that if you were to send someone to a product listing, unless the listing was an item only you were selling, you very likely would be sending the customer to your competition.
So how can you use social media marketing to sell just your products?
Stop Playing the Low Price Game
My free app, Social Beacon will let you do just that. It’s designed specifically for sellers on Amazon (along with eBay and Etsy). What does it do?
- It let’s you promote the items you’re selling across social networks.
- You can measure the results to see what’s working.
- For Amazon sellers, you will share YOUR product listing page, not the main product page.
- It monitors your Amazon inventory and lets you redirect a URL from a post / Tweet / Pin if that item has sold out or the listing is gone instead of taking that buyer to your competition.
It’s easy to get your first item out there in just five minutes. On top of that, it’s free. And there are guides and webinars to help you learn.
