Is eBay Shopping More Fun with ZippyQuiz?

eBay shopping can be more fun, engaging and exciting for eBay buyers when they purchase from a seller using ZippyQuiz. New to the Open eBay App center is ZippyQuiz by MyStoreCredit.

ZippyQuiz brings a seller’s eBay listings to life with the use of fun quizzes in the listing to engage the buyer, plus buyers have an opportunity to earn cashback when they purchase from you.

An eBay buyer will take a fun ZippyQuiz and if they buy within the time you set (say 15 minutes after taking the quiz) they win cash-back after they complete purchase. You choose the amount of cash-back reward for right and wrong answers. Only buyers who BUY earn cashback. The quiz is fun and prompts buyers to make the purchase now in order to receive cashback.

How does ZippyQuiz work? Sign-up and either create your own quiz or use a quiz in their library. ZippyQuiz will automatically add a few lines of HTML code to your listings (or you can paste the HTML into your own template). The HTML code will show an interactive, fun trivia type quiz. Your buyer takes the quiz and finds out the cashback reward they will earn if they make a purchase from you.

eBay sellers can try out ZippyQuiz for free!

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Solutions Help eBay Sellers Increase Sales

Customer Relationship Management

To really gain an advantage and increase customer satisfaction (DSRs and Feedback) eBay sellers should consider investing in a Customer Relationship Management solution or CRM.

A CRM solution will allow sellers to keep records of their buyers in order to better understand the buyers search and purchasing behavior. A better understanding of buyer behavior gives sellers the opportunity to create and implement effective targeted marketing strategies and increase sales with repeat purchases.

A CRM solution will also help reduce the amount of emails and questions eBay sellers receive or automate the email replies.

Benefits of CRM:

• Maintain buyer/customer contact records
• Identify customer segments (location, purchase history, returns, customer support issues
• Improve customer retention
• Know your top buyers for each product and group
• Improve customer service
• Create marketing campaigns
• Send coupons and incentives to specific buyer segments
• Track and report on effectiveness of marketing campaigns
• Analyze and create reports on customer trends in correlation with marketing and product

eBay does not provide a CRM solution for eBay sellers. eBay sellers interested in increasing their buyer satisfaction, retention and sales should consider a CRM solution from an eBay Certified Provider.
