MHC has helped a number of Northern Ireland companies achieve individual sales of £1 million+ per year on eBay with some turning over more than £5 million per year by participating in the programmes below. Each is tailored to meet the needs of your specific business.
This “eBay Pro” package is a series of tailored events, delivered solely to your business, with content designed specifically for you and relevant to the products you are considering selling on eBay.
Three of the five days will be spent with us training your staff team in our premises outside Ballycastle, Co. Antrim. The other two days will see our staff conducting
research on your behalf and providing follow-up support. Clients may bring up to 3 members of staff at no extra cost.
Day 1 will see two of our staff spend 1 half day each researching the eBay market to identify the bestselling items in your product catalogue, the top sellers of those items and the global values of the products sold. We will need you to specify 3 or 4 products you most want researched. We will then analyse the listings of the top rated sellers so that we may advise you as to best sales practice.
The research will be undertaken well in advance of our one-on-one time with your team.
Day 2 will be spent with Darach, our eBay research specialist in Ballycastle. On this day Darach will be able to give you information on what sells best on eBay, for how much and who is selling it. Darach will also be able to give you information on your competitors, where they are located, how much they are selling your product for, how much turnover they are doing and their best selling product lines.
Day 3 will be spent with Megan, our listings’ specialist in Ballycastle. On this day Megan will template your listings to make it faster and easier to list items. She will show you how your listings should look to make them more attractive to buyers, tell you exactly what keywords should be in your title so that you have the best possible chance of being found in a buyers search, teach you how to create complex listings and set pricing points so that you can compete with the top sellers of your product line.
