I have searched for a new way to increase the sales of my promotional products. A good way is to start an affiliate-program with a commision for every customer who buy an product and who came to your page from a webpage of one of your affiliate-partners.
I thought that this is not the only way to inrease my sales and there is another problem. You need to have your own online-shop and a webpage.
So I started to look for a webpage that will give me some tips and advices on how to increase selling promotional products. I used a searchengine and tried the keywords "sell promotional products" and "B2B promotional products". I have got a lot of distributors of promotional products as search results but only a few B2B Marketplaces.
I have visited these B2B Marketplaces and found one webpage where you can sell promotional products without having an own webpage. The name is "Promotional Products Marketplace" at http://www.crobike.de
How to start selling promotional products?
First you have to register. There are no fees you have to pay to register. If you want to publish promotional products than you have to upgrade your account. There are five types of accounts: bronze,silver,gold,platinum and diamond.
I decided to use the "ten days for free bronze account" where you can add five of your promotional products without paying any money. You will also get access to the "free quotes page" where customers write down the promotional products they need.
The best of all you don't need to pay any fees when a costumer who have been send to your webpage buy a promotional product.
When you don't have a webpage you can publish your telephone number, email and your adress so that customers can conact you.
Where can I find the Informations of my promotional products?
When you have added your promotional product you can find all the informations you have made at the "Promotional Products Marketplace". There customers are able to compare the prices and the informations of promotional products from different companies.
What's my opinion about the Marketplace?
You will see if more customer come to your webpage when you use this service or not. And there is another advantage because you will increase your link-popularity at all the searchengines because of the directory on this site
