成功在线销售的 10 个技巧
服装、书籍、艺术品、古董、食品——您能想到的,都可以在线销售。无论您是想专门从事体育用品还是电子产品销售,您都可以从以下步骤开始:
1.
确定您要销售的商品
- 商品价格: 它们是否在一个特定范围内,表现出实惠(价格较低)或高价值(价格较高)的特性?
- 评论: 买家对商品有何评价(包括负面和正面评价)? 记录该做什么和不该做什么。
- 季节性: 这些商品的销量是否会在假期、冬季或夏季出现增长(例如,泳衣、冬装等)?
- Size: It’s also important to consider the size, weight, and durability of the product you may want to sell. Is it large or heavy? If so, it might be more costly to ship, cutting into your profitability or ability to sell. Is your product very delicate or breakable? If so, you may have to take extra precautions and use more materials or specialized packaging.
- 尺寸: 此商品是否是超大和/或超重商品? 如果是,运输成本可能会更高,这会降低您的盈利能力或销售能力(如果为了覆盖运费而将价格设置过高)。

2.
采购商品
- 质量: 确保您选择的供应商是可靠的并能提供优质商品。查看买家评论,索要样品,并通读其条款和条件。
- 商品价格: 比较不同供应商之间的价格以获得最划算的价格。同时不要忘了将运费考虑在内。
- 配送时间: 了解供应商配送订单所需的时间。这将有助于您为买家设定切实的期望。
- 客户服务: 了解供应商是否提供客户服务,以及他们对咨询的回复情况。
- 退货政策: 询问他们是否接受退货,或者您是否必须自行处理。如果他们接受退货,则请确定是否有重新入库费。
- 库存: 供应商是否有能力处理大量库存? 确保他们可以随着您业务的发展进行扩展。
- 配送: 了解他们提供的配送方式以及向买家配送订单的成本。
- 包装: 了解供应商是否提供自定义包装选项,如品牌包装箱或包装袋。
- 批量折扣: 询问供应商是否为大订单提供批量折扣。
花时间研究不同供应商的情况并比较其商品,确保您获得最划算的价格并为买家提供优质商品。有关与供应商合作的更多信息,请参阅此库存管理指南。
3.
选择销售渠道
您想销售什么商品? 您的目标买家是谁? 您的回答可帮您确定使用哪些渠道来以最佳方式触达买家。
您可能想要使用自己的网站,或在知名销售网站(如亚马逊)上开设店铺,又或者二者兼有!
您可以从头开始设计和构建电子商务店铺,也可以使用亚马逊品牌旗舰店构建器等工具打造自定义的沉浸式电子商务网站体验。亚马逊店铺带有内置的基础设施,用于处理付款和管理买家评论等。它还为您提供了一个分析控制面板,以便您追踪销量、评论、商品价格和其他关键绩效指标。
如果您的受众在 Facebook、Instagram 或 Pinterest 等网站上花费大量时间,那么社交媒体也可以是一个很好的销售渠道。Amazon Live 等直播平台甚至可以让您实时与买家互动,展示商品、进行个性化商品推荐及使用其他交互式销售方法。
一些卖家专注于单一销售渠道,另一些卖家则混合使用这两种渠道。请根据您的业务模式,通过尝试看看哪种最适合您的需求。此外,不要低估本地销售渠道,如分类广告和广播或电视广告。线下的努力有助于您提升线上的业务。

- Listing fee: Typically, a flat fee to list on the site, either per item or a monthly charge
- Selling fee: A percentage of the selling price (may include shipping and handling)
- Payment processing fees: Sometimes charged if you accept credit cards
- 个人计划:每件售出商品 $0.99 + 其他销售费用(如果您每月售出的商品不足 40 件,则此为理想选择)
- 专业计划:$39.99 美元/月 + 其他费用(如果您每月售出的商品超过 40 件,且想要投放广告,则此为理想选择)
一些其他费用可能包括:
- 分类费用: 按每笔销售额的一定百分比收费,具体取决于分类(例如,对于母婴商品,如果总销售价格不超过 $10,则收取 8% 的分类费用)
- 配送成本: 如果使用亚马逊物流,则费用基于商品尺寸和重量(例如,尺寸不超过 15" x 12" x 0.75" 且重量不超过 6 盎司的商品在淡季的费用为 $3.07)
- 库存费用: 库存费用因多种因素(如商品体积、尺寸和重量以及存储时长)而异

了解发布和销售费用
在线销售的费用因销售渠道而异。在为业务作出选择时,请务必密切关注相关费用、成本和其他收费。
部分商城会收取少量商品发布费用,而其他商城则可以免费发布商品。以下是您会遇到的各种费用的快速明细:

- 销售费用:销售价格的一定百分比(可能包括运费和处理费)
- 付款处理费:如果您接受信用卡付款,则有时会收取此费用
5.
确定您如何处理配送
配送时间可以决定销售成败。一项针对美国买家的调查发现:
- 83% 的买家认为是否免运费是影响他们在线下单的最重要因素
- Security and fraud prevention: Your online business should offer secure payment—to protect yourself and your customers. Consider two-factor authentication, encryption, and fraud detection.
- Trust badges and SSL certificates: Security badges show that a site has secure sockets layer (SSL) certificates. These are also known as “trust badges.” This means it follows security measures required to safely handle customer data. SSL certificates or trust badges can help boost customer conversion.
- 超过一半 (54%) 的买家会因为配送成本而放弃下单
请考虑配送商品的成本以及您愿意配送的距离。有些卖家很乐意向国际地区配送商品,并会从亚马逊等拥有全球买家群的商城中受益。其他卖家则倾向于当地交易,仅允许在较小的半径范围内取件或投件。
如果您要配送商品,有些商城可能会有配送和处理时间方面的预期要求,而其他商城会则为您配送商品。这可能会减少您的利润,但可以节省一些时间和麻烦。

Manage inventory and shipping
Shipping can make or break a sale. It’s important to consider how much it'll cost to store and ship an item. Some stores may have a shipping and processing time expectation if you're going to ship items, while others will ship products for you. This can eat into your profit, but may also save you time and effort.
How shipping works on Amazon
When a customer buys a product, either Amazon can ship the order to the seller with Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA), or you can fulfill the order on your own using Fulfilled by Merchant tools and services. Many Amazon sellers use a mix of the two. Learn more in these guides to ecommerce fulfillment and inventory essentials.
Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA)
With FBA, you send products to Amazon’s global network of fulfillment centers. When a customer makes a purchase, we pick, pack, and ship their order while handling returns and customer service so you can save time, reduce costs, and grow your business.
Fulfilled by Merchant
Use a suite of solutions to save time and money when you fulfill customer orders yourself. Streamline the orders you receive from Amazon, as well as other sales channels. Get great shipping rates while offering fast, reliable delivery.
Supply Chain by Amazon
Supply Chain by Amazon is a fully automated set of supply chain services that gets your products from manufacturers to customers around the world. It’s a complete end-to-end solution that includes programs like FBA and Multi-Channel Fulfillment (MCF). Supply Chain by Amazon keeps products in stock, automates inventory replenishment, provides faster and more reliable shipping, and can significantly lower costs.
Multi-Channel Fulfillment
If you sell across multiple platforms or use Buy with Prime, your orders can be fulfilled using Multi-Channel Fulfillment (MCF). With MCF, you ship your inventory to Amazon fulfillment centers and Amazon picks, packs, and ships your products, while offering Prime delivery speeds. If you're an existing Amazon seller using FBA for sales on Amazon.com, you can use your FBA inventory for your MCF sales channels, including your own site.
Calculate shipping costs
Considering costs can be a key factor in choosing your fulfillment method. Shipping costs are usually related to the size and weight of the item. Larger and heavier items require more packaging materials and shipping resources, resulting in higher costs. Each method has its own benefits—and you can decide which one is right for each product you sell. You can also use our Revenue Calculator to compare estimates for FBA and your own fulfillment method.
Pro tip
Mix and match your fulfillment options
If you sell online in Amazon stores, you can choose to use FBA for some or all products. The right combination depends on the products and your business goals. For example, you can take advantage of FBA Export or Remote Fulfillment to make international shipping easier.

研究确定合适的销售价格
合适的价格可以吸引买家,为您带来竞争优势,并提升您业务的盈利能力。我们的目标是设置合适的商品价格,让您获得较高的利润(实得收入)。
考虑与采购和销售商品相关的成本,例如采购和储存库存的费用、广告费用、处理付款的费用以及税费。有了这些数据,您就可以计算出想要的利润,并据此设定价格。
了解价格范围并制定您自己的定价策略的方法之一是分析竞争对手的商品价格。但是从哪里获得这一数据? 以下给您介绍三种策略:

Pay close attention to customer reviews
Customer reviews can help you—or hurt you if they’re ignored. Reviewers are candid, and many buyers read reviews before deciding to purchase. Be sure to monitor, analyze, and respond to reviews.
Look at answering customer questions as an opportunity to build rapport with a potential buyer. While it’s OK to take a few hours or a day to respond, don’t let requests go unanswered for weeks. Also, be sure to familiarize yourself with the right way and wrong way to get product reviews and avoid policy violations.
Reviews not only inform shoppers’ purchasing decisions, but they can give you valuable insights into what customers like or ways you could improve your products. To help monitor reviews, you can use Amazon's Customer Review Insights feature to gauge customer sentiment for a particular product or niche. Use it to understand customer needs and improve your catalog.

细致包装商品

Build your brand
Brand building is the process of defining your strategy, identity, and marketing to figure out how you want to be perceived by your customers. Branding is important because it helps your ecommerce business stand out, build brand recognition, and entice potential customers to shop your store. Amazon Brand Registry can help you grow your audience, increase sales, build brand loyalty, optimize your selling strategy, and protect your brand.
Offer discounts
Help increase sales by attracting customers with coupons and deals. Amazon Coupons allow customers to save money on products in the form of a percentage or a specific dollar amount discount. A Best Deal is a discount on higher priced items and a Lightning Deal is a promotion for a limited period of time
Get customer reviews
Reviews can help shoppers make purchasing decisions and build trust for your products and store. Get high-quality reviews through the Amazon Vine program.
Advertise
Ads can provide a visibility boost for your products and brand, attracting new customers and increasing sales. Amazon Ads offers cost-per-click campaigns that appear in highly visible placements, including on search results pages and product detail pages in the Amazon store. You can also use Sponsored Display ads to advertise beyond the Amazon store.
Optimize your listings
Help customers discover products and make informed purchasing decisions by using search engine optimization (SEO) to help your products rank better in search results. This can include optimizing different parts of a product listing, such as the product title and description, to match relevant search terms and provide customers with the information they’re looking for.
10.
Monitor store performance
Keeping an eye on how your ecommerce store is performing is helpful for measuring your success—or potential areas of improvement. A few different ways to monitor your store’s performance are through analytics reports, product reviews, and inventory management.
Analytics reports
What are your customers clicking on and what are they buying? Better understand your business and customers through Amazon Brand Analytics, available to brands enrolled in Amazon Brand Registry. Brand Analytics aggregates customer search and purchase data through dashboards that you can use to make strategic decisions to optimize your products and advertising.
Product reviews
Product reviews can provide you with helpful information that you can use to identify what’s working in your ecommerce store, or recognize potential gaps or shortcomings in your product selection. Amazon customer reviews and star ratings can be an important indicator of a product’s success—and an important source of feedback for sellers looking for insight on how to improve their product or invent a new one.
Inventory management and performance
As an ecommerce business owner, proper inventory management can help prevent missed sales opportunities and keep customers coming back.
Inventory performance is a measurement of inventory management and replenishment—all of which can directly impact how you are meeting customers’ product quantity needs, demands for certain products, and delivery expectations. You can automatically track how well you manage your inventory with Amazon using the Inventory Performance Index (IPI).
IPI is a metric for Amazon sellers that measures how efficiently they manage your FBA inventory—similar to a credit score for your inventory efficiency. Your score is based on how well you:
