The right gear is essential if you are aiming to reach the summit of the proverbial e-commerce mountain. Seller tools are like your climbing ropes, essential to scaling the heights for online selling success. Mixing a little tech magic with some savvy strategies can help you to accelerate your seller journey.
Imagine you’re opening your inbox and hearing a “ping” –another sale. But behind the happy noise are a number of finely tuned tools that are humming away in the background. It’s just technology that works for you. Let’s pick out the best concoctions from the cauldron.
Inventory Management Software comes first. Surely, keeping track of stocks is as easy as counting jellybeans. Nope. One item misplaced can transform your warehouse into a candy crush. Sellbrite, InventoryLab and other tools can help you keep track of every turn. Imagine a library that has never lost a single book. This is your inventory.
What are the SEO tools available? Imagine them as your digital banner. It’s not enough to whisper about your success on the web. Ahrefs, Moz and other tools like Scribe can be used to find these golden keywords. Imagine them as modern-day Sherlock Holmes hunting down the right clues for your page to be noticed.
Email Marketing is a powerful tool. Imagine sending invitations to VIP clubs. MailChimp, Klaviyo and other tools ensure that each message is delivered as a whisper to your customer’s ear. You’re building relationships, not blasting.
The idea of analytics tools is as exciting as watching paint dries, but they are goldmines. You’ve probably tried to find something in a haystack. Google Analytics or Kissmetrics not only can find the needle, they can also tell you its story. They tell you why the buyer made the purchase. With a few charts, some numbers and you’re not just letting the dice roll, but making an informed decision.
Second, research tools for products are like treasure maps when it comes to online selling. JungleScout & Helium 10 are more than just guesswork. They scan for hidden gems. Like having a wise friend whisper in your ear the next big trend.
Here’s the nugget – automated pricing tools. It’s no secret that the game of price is more complex than a game chess. RepricerExpress, Informed.co and other tools will make you an expert. They automatically adjust your prices to ensure you are competitive, without having to lift one finger.
Customer service tools? Although they may not be glamorous, they are unsung heroes. Zendesk, or Freshdesk, are the unsung heroes of customer service. They are able to answer questions faster than a morning rush-hour barista, making your customers happy.
Buffer or Hootsuite can be used to schedule social media posts. Consistency reigns supreme in the land posts. These tools can help you stay on top of your social media presence and keep it engaging, without making it seem like a chore.
Shipping software may not be exciting, but when you receive your parcel on time, it is a delight. ShipStation, or Shippo, will ensure that your logistics are as smooth as silk. Be like the swan: graceful on top, but furiously paddling underneath.
Do not forget to use feedback tools. By using tools like FeedbackFive, you can stay in touch with customer sentiments. Imagine it as a check-up on your sales health.
Do not underestimate the importance of being well equipped as you prepare for a higher peak. These tools don’t just look pretty; they are your best allies. Your strategy should be tight and your tools more sharpened. Then, let the magic begin. Dear seller, keep moving forward. The summit awaits you!
