How to Multiply Your Income-Sell on Sears Marketplace

Sears has launched a new concept in selling that goes beyond its storefront. It branches out to Mr and Ms U.S. Seller. You, yes you, can tap into Sears' customer base and target it's customers with your products, wares, and goods. It's a revolutionary concept in selling. Sears provides the avenue. You get the benefit. Sears offers you three ways to "partner"* with them to get your product in front of new and repeat customers. First, there's Sell on Sears. You sell your items through Sears search results. The customer pays you through Sears checkout platform. Sears relays the orders to you, and you ship the orders out. Like other buy and sell venues, this is a performance based marketplace where you receive reviews from the customers. You get good reviews for good performance. Also, when you sign up for this option you get to enroll in Sears Local Marketplace. This is where you can offer your customers same day or next day pickup. There's no shipping or extra fees with this option. Sears brings in extra customers for you. You ship or let the customer pick up the same day or next day. This option is less than $40.00/month with nominal commission fees. What could be easier?

The second option is Sell Through Sears. Your items appear right along Sears products in its search results. Your customer orders. Sears ships to the customer from your inventory advance-shipped to them for multiple orders. That's it. This option, too, is performance based-you get good reviews for good performance. It's economical-at less than $40.00/month + nominal commission + $3.00 pick and pack fee.

The third option is Advertise on Sears. Customers on Sears.com see your product and are directed to your site for purchase. You take the order. You ship the order. Build your customer base with this option and keep business dealings in-house. Fees? A modest $.15-$.90 per customer click.

Previous to this new selling concept with Sears, to be able to benefit from Sears' customer base, you would have had to open a franchise. A franchise with Sears can cost from $80,000 and upward. Now, with this new program for only pennies per months, you can widen your exposure nationwide. This is a new window of opportunity that is opened by Internet commerce. Get in on the ground floor. Establish your presence in the e-commerce marketplace. Whether you choose this as a stop gap measure during this economic downturn or choose it as a primary means of income, it's still a wonderful opportunity for sellers. A golden opportunity should we say?
