Besides being able to increase the quantity of sales, trading on-line is also able to save various kinds of promotional costs and so on. Especially with the presence of on-line stores and social media that are very helpful and facilitate this activity.
Now on this occasion we will give a tip so that you can become a reliable seller both on-line and off-line where for tips this time is something you should avoid so that your business runs smoothly. Why? because as a trader (especially new traders) you have to know the things that you should avoid so you don’t get carried away that can lead to a loss.
Okay, for this, here are the things you should avoid so you can become a successful trader:
1. Greedy for profits.
The main purpose of doing business is to get as much profit as possible. Even so, selling goods at prices that are too expensive to get big profits is not ethical. Especially if the product quality is mediocre, even below the standard. The price of goods that are too expensive will make people lazy to buy. Those who already bought were more likely to feel cured shopping in your shop again because they felt they had been trapped and cheated.
profits as a seller
Remember and apply the principle that sufficient profits as long as they are continuous are the best thing where you get a proportional profit and also get customers. Another case if you take too much profit then you will only get buyers where the buyer may not be a regular customer you because you feel too heavy at the price you give.
2. Avoid Spamming activities on Social Media.
Promoting merchandise on social media has become a common thing. But you should still pay attention to the comfort factors of friends. Don’t offer merchandise too often, let alone make the time line full of promotional items. Even if you want to use social media for promotion, you should create a new account specifically for running your business. Or, you can also take advantage of special features for trading that have been provided by social media.
use social media as your business media but don’t be a spammer
Excessive spamming will make people lazy to see your posts so that instead of getting attention, your posts will be ignored without being read by your friends or customers.
3. Be inconsistent.
don’t be an inconsistent seller
Before deciding to sell, you should think and weigh carefully various things, such as interests, types of products or goods, capital, time, targets, and so on. We recommend that all things be adjusted to the conditions and situations of yourself. Do not be influenced or provoked by the success of others. Not necessarily the business run by someone else is right for you. If you constantly change concepts and plans, you will run out of time, moments, and capital. You will be able to sell your products later and not run optimally and you will only be preoccupied with activities changing the type of business without achieving success.
4. Price reduction.
Do not to be Over in Price Reduction
Prices that are too expensive can make people think again to buy. Even so, you should not lower the price of your merchandise as low as possible or slam the price. Erase the thought “the important thing I sold” from your brain. Reducing prices to be very low not only harms yourself, but also other sellers. Try to build the trust of potential buyers towards you. Undoubtedly with confidence they will be happy to buy your merchandise without thinking too much about prices. Remember, so try to sell according to the general market conditions.
5. Legalize all means.
make your scales precious
You must avoid this because if you think of justifying the method right away, maybe you will succeed, but the business you do can become a business that can make you experience huge losses. Besides you will be labeled as a seller who is not good, you will also potentially get criticism from other sellers who do not like your way.
Trading or selling seems easy. But actually you are required to be smart, diligent, and use the right strategy so that the business or business that you run can continue to exist, develop, and advance.
Well, so keep the spirit of the sellers who are trying to improve their business prospects and still avoid the things mentioned above so that you can become a seller who is successful in business.
