Upgrade Your Listings with A+ Content
Newegg offers sellers free access to use existing A+ content or to create their own with our A+ content portal. Utilize these dynamic options to provide shoppers with interactive, informative, and illustrative content that increases engagement and drives conversions! Our professional content portal will take your product’s assets and turn them into exceptional content you can use on and off Newegg. Increase product impressions with high-quality images and copy. A+ Content pages generate 657% more page views than non-optimized listings. Keep your listings fresh and exciting for new and returning customers.
Provide Peace of Mind with Valid Parcel Tracking
It is always best to ensure that any order shipped out uses a Newegg Authorized Carrier and has accurate tracking information. Doing so reassures your customers that their order is received and will arrive in time for the holidays. Plus, providing tracking will help avoid disruptive and costly issues like RMAs for items not received or chargebacks from customers. With your shipping information valid and accurate, you’ll get paid sooner, too!
Keep Pricing Competitive and Adjust as You Go
Don’t let the holiday shopping frenzy fool you – customers want the lowest pricing they can find. It may not make sense to offer your lowest prices right at the start of the holiday season. Slowly adjusting prices, especially in a lead-up to major purchasing events like Black Friday, can increase conversions while maintaining your margins. Many shoppers will begin holiday spending before November, often shopping for themselves in these early weeks and for gifts. Consider providing enticing pricing that gradually gets lower as peak shopping starts.
Add Bundles to Your Store
Bundles of products that offer the customer price savings or unique combinations of relevant products are an excellent way to increase sales. This strategy works well for providing value on popular items otherwise restricted by MAP (minimum advertised price). Incentivize customers to choose your products over the next brand and earn those conversions!
Shipped By Newegg Increase Sales While Saving Costs
Along with reducing operating costs associated with fulfillment and inventory storage, when sellers use SBN services, their product pages display a unique logo encouraging sales as customers feel confident in their purchases fulfilled directly by Newegg. Such customer trust results from Newegg’s two decades of unparalleled customer service. We ship our orders within 24 hours 96.6% of the time, giving you and your customers peace of mind that their purchase will arrive correctly and on time. Shipping orders out quickly is also key to maintaining a high Seller Performance rating.
Expand Your Store’s Reach with Global Shipping
Global shipping adds additional costs and labor to a seller’s operation, but the trade-off is access to a wider community of engaged and motivated buyers. Capitalize on higher buyer demand during the holidays by opening your shipping operation to the global market. Newegg offers sellers time and money-saving solutions to global shipping. See below for helpful cost-saving options available to you.
