5 Ways Your Business Can Benefit From Online Auctions

It seems as if everyone is talking about online auctions. And

why not. There are thousands of online auctions on the

internet with more popping up everyday. People love them

because they can usually find great bargains. Businesses are

now also seeing the benefits of online auctions. Below are

five ways your business can benefit from online auctions.

1. Get Rid Of Excess Inventory

You could sell your excess or discontinued products at an

online auction. Your unsold inventory is doing you no good

sitting around, collecting dust. It's an effective way to make

extra income and it won't be a total loss for your business.

You could even get lucky and make a profit depending

on how much people will bid for your excess inventory.

2. Test Pricing For New Products

An easy way to test new product prices is to see what

people will bid for them at an online auction. First, sell your

product at three different online auctions. Next, calculate

the average selling bid from all three auctions and that will

be your selling price for your new product.

3. Sell Your Products

You can get your product in front of a large audience by

selling it at an online auction. Some of the bigger auction

sites draw over millions of hits a year. The key to being

successful is to sell your product at multiple online auctions

at the same time. Let's say you sold one product a day

from just one auction site. If you sell your product at one

hundred online auction sites that would be one hundred sales

a day!

4. Start Your Own Online Auction

Drive traffic to your web site by starting your own online

auction. People will visit your web site to find bargains

and to sell their own products. You will get plenty of

repeat visitors from people rebidding on products and

adding new products to sell. You could also charge other

businesses to advertise on your web site.

5. Lower Your Business Costs

You can find lower prices on business supplies and

equipment at online auctions. I'm not saying all the time, but

before you go pay retail for a new printer try bidding on

one first. A company may be selling them at a lower price

at an online auction because they have excess inventory.
