How to Outsell the Competition on Ethio.com

 Use Great Adverts

Great adverts are the secret to selling online – you want to draw people to your products.

  • Provide a detailed description of the item. The best descriptions pre-empt the buyer’s questions. Use clear and helpful titles and describe the item in full detail.
  • Upload great pictures. Take many pictures of the products from all angles. Adverts with many helpful pictures are more effective since they attract many views.
  • Provide relevant additional details. Where is the item located? Do you arrange transportation for bulky items? Anything relevant to selling a particular line of product.
  • Select the correct product category. Ethio.com uses a pre-defined category to list products on the marketplace for ease and convenience. Categories help buyers find products quickly and painlessly. Always choose the proper category and subcategories when listing products on Ethio.com
  • Set a fair price. Shoppers use the marketplace to compare products and services before deciding to buy a product. They will ignore your adverts if your prices are too low or too high. Pricing your items reasonably will draw more people to your adverts and grow your sales.

Respond Quickly

Once your advert is approved, it goes live on the marketplace. Now the fun part begins. We’ll send you a notification that your advert is now live. Check your messages, Email, and answer any phone calls from potential customers. Use the feedback from these interactions to improve your listing.
