BigCommerce is a eCommerce platform that serves your needs for every type of online shop. It provided you with an easy option to add products and product-related information to your eCommerce site. However, it doesn’t come inbuilt with the tools that you need to give the deserved exposure for your products.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if your BigCommerce platform could help you with your marketing needs? But it does. If you haven’t visited the BigCommerce App Store recently, you may be unaware of the recent addition to a plethora of tools that you can use for marketing your BigCommerce based products.
When it comes to marketing your eCommerce products, one sure-fire way to boost your sales is making those products available through Amazon marketplaces as well.
But there’s a dilemma even when you start listing your BigCommerce products on Amazon. Should you list all your products or just some of them?
If you are subscribed to a professional seller plan on Amazon, is there any good reason that you shouldn’t send all of them? After all, it would give your products more exposure. But that would take a lot of time to fill in those Amazon inventory templates. So what is the solution? A feature-packed feed management software which is created with the focus to increase your sales.
Yes, simply being able to send your BigCommerce products to Amazon doesn’t serve the purpose quite right. You need to be able to apply some sales tricks on your products and optimize your listings based on the market trends. We’ll make it easy for you regarding the optimization of your product listing here:
Change the title of your products: Amazon has clearly defined how your product titles should be based on the product categories that you list. You aren’t allowed to add promotional words but there still remains some clever tricks to engage the customers. Your feed management software should be able to allow you to apply those tricks for your BigCommerce products.
Image optimization: A picture can tell a story better than words. But Amazon has its restrictions regarding the product images. When you are syncing your BigCommerce products with Amazon, you will need to send proper images. But that’s only one side of the story. You can send multiple images for your BigCommerce products to Amazon and needless to say your feed management software should allow you to implement the tweaks for this also.
Orders mean sales and need quick action: The orders that you receive for your Amazon based products need to be processed and dispatched quickly. Amazon is strict in customer experience. If you are able to send your products to Amazon using your feed management software, you also need to be able to receive orders in the same place. This speeds up your selling process on Amazon and will benefit you on the seller ratings.
Proper track of your inventories on both platforms: When you make a sale, your inventory quantity on any one platform decreases but what happens if the other one doesn’t. It may be a business havoc if you are overselling products which take time to re-stock or are limited in supply. This issue needs to be addressed before it takes place. The only way is to get a feed management tool that offers you both way real-time inventory sync.
