[rnrgiftsnmore]

I have compiled a list of tips to promote your WeBidz store, along with a list of previous posts written by members and brought it all here to help us promote our stores. Hope that these help you make more sales. Remember, the more you promote, the better chance you have of being found. Please do not spam others, as we do not want anyone to get into trouble.

1. Get your store banner in your signature, so everyone in the forums can find you.

Replace USERNAME with your username, copy it, scroll to the top of the page click on “User CP” on the blue bar, click on “Edit Signature”, and paste the above edited code into your signature.

2. Get your Repatoo badge so that everyone will feel more confident about buying from you. It is very easy, and they have access to about 20 auction sites. Here is a link to the post that Admin posted. http://community.webidz.com/showthread.php?t=12804

3. Let us, the community members know that you have some knew stuff listed or a special running. Also start a “Store Thread“, there you can promote your store, a specific item, or any specials that you are running. Be creative and have fun with it. Remember this is your advertisement for your WeBidz Store.

4. List a sample of your wares up for auction on the Webex Points Auctions. There is no better way for a buyer to get to know your product or service that a free sample.

5. Have Admin fix you up with your RSS Feed for your WeBidz Store, then you can post it wherever you can to promote your store.

Great thread Roz. Since we recently added google feeds, I wanted to add this to your list. This is an excellent promotional tool, which has a great impact on traffic for sellers items. The thread that details the process is linked below.
