If you want your sellers to buy from you try selling them what they need

[Orpichukwu]

By trying to make yours attractive, try not to make yours too cheap because if you think you're doing buyers a favor by making your commodity too cheap, you are only reducing the value of the products you have, and people prefer to buy some particular products that are more expensive because they associate the expensive price with quality. You also need to try not to look too desperate.

Well, how you treat your customers depends on how you view them; the idea of making your product cheap and chasing customers aware varies based on the class of the customers. As long as the product quality is high and top-notch selling at a fair price where you as the seller also cover other costs and still remain in profit, it is considered the best to me. Personally, I can walk a few miles away to buy something where the cost difference is less than 2 cents because I see that seller selling cheap as more considerate than the one in front of my home.

Let's assume you want to become an online seller on a peer-to-peer Bitcoin Marketplace, and one of your main concerns is "who will my stuff" or "can I sell fast enough",  then you have an idea— you decide that instead of buying things with fiat currency from local sellers who hardly consider buying from you, you will be better off converting that fiat currency to Bitcoin to buy from local Bitcoiners who will also buy things you sell. You look for sellers on the marketplace who sell things you frequently or occasionally buy, and then ask them the kind of things they frequently or occasionally buy in order to supply them... But under the condition that you would mostly buy from them if their products/services are top notch (good quality) and more competitive or attractive than your former sellers, and you likewise promise thesame thing. And then you start buying from these peers and they start buying from you after comparing prices and quality of your stuff with their former sellers'

Your take?

In a case when the dealer or your supplier is not in need of your products and you need theirs to buy and stock your store according to your customers demand what will you do? I trust you can not give them the conditions that they must buy from you before you buys from them and you can not either ask them to diversify into another product of your need conditionally.
Except it has been reviewed by their market team and management and find out how profitable they would be if they venture into it because I am sure they can not afford to loose while you profits.

Does trade by barter business still working in the businesses now?, I don't think so because people and businesses now are only fully into what could give them money by selling the product or commodities they have on there shops so actually it depends on what a person is doing as a business before a trade by barter could be assumed effective on that business line.

Just for knowledge sake, I heard that there are still some remote villages in Nigeria that still do trade by barter, though not in full scale. They do it within themselves at the market square with understanding. For instance, if a buyer comes to the market with rice and less cash, they can exchange the rice with other commodities like plantain, beans, yam, fish, meat etc from the seller and then use the cash to buy more things needed. So trade by barter still exist in such remote villages in Nigeria from what I heard of certain villages.

The problem with a lot of people that start up a business is that they don't do proper survey on what to do to get attention of people. Instead of doing something in that location that's already rampart offer something else that is of value and also not in supply, in other words find a need and solve it. Doing what others are already into would just put you in the line of competition and if you start that business when others have already been doing it before you came up it might be hard to succeed because the people they sell to already have their supplier.

That is the main reason many people failed in a business, they always do what others are doing without asking questions how the business always goes just because they says they are getting profit with what they are selling doesn’t means if you start you can get what they are achieving daily. If you on to start a business the things you need to do is to survey the environment and location and look what did you people usually demand very well in that environment before you start business. What make you get profit in business most is what customers need and get good relationships with them.

Business is strategical not emotional. People don't prioritise you because you are a seller, people will patronise you because of what you offer, how you offer it and at what comfort they get after paying. Know that some.people measure the worth of the value with the amount they will pay it. If it doesn't satisfy them they won't pay for it.

Your take?

There are Many ways to make your business Excell, if the market has become competitive. Although I have read all what you have written but I can't figure out all that rightly but there are many ways to make your business attractive and lucrative. Like some people would like to introduce a bonanza offer or annually discount price to make the business gain popularity. And trust me when your business is popular, people will always want to come to buy things from you. Another one is that you should try to always make goods available for customer, to satisfy there need. Because some customers hate it when they come several time to your shop and you don't have what they need, it looks like you are not serious. So availability of goods is essential. Cultivating the habit of good Sense of humor. cultivate the habit of good manner of approach, it will help you approach your customers very well without them getting anoid. Aside from the option I listed above, the seller need to introduce some fun games that others have not been doing, it will attract people to come. There are many way to make your buyers buy from you if you learn this secrets tips.

Making yours attractive shouldn't lead to you losing out on your sells, many buyers always look for people who sales cheaper and they has nothing to lose, one need to understand the whole essence or ideal of business.

The main thing in business is knowing what to produce,who to produce and a favorable location ,them if there is much competitors,you make yours affordable but not at your own expense, because even if you reduce your standards many will view it as fake ,so while try to get attention from people,also make sure to keep a solid standard that people will know your values.

Marketing your products well is crucial. Even less-than-great products can be sold at much better prices with good marketing skills. There are tons of products the important thing, in my opinion, is the sales strategy. When you desperately try to sell your products, the buyer will realize this and won't be excited to buy them, even if your product is good. Creating excitement is the key to making a sale.

Everything depends on quality, customer support, and of course, price. If you have all these, it's easy to build loyal customers; it's not only about giving them what they need but also delivering the best value for their price.
Customers are always looking for the best sellers for what they need, so it's always a competition for sellers, so sellers should invest in quality, customer support, and good value.

The explanation in your topic is confusing me, but the summary of it is that, you must make sure your product is been bought no matter what way necessary.

If you discover that your product is loosing value and sellers no longer buying, do a thorough recheck by asking these sellers questions, like why if your product not at the top notch no longer, what needs to be adjusted, what new manufacturer to be wholesale from and stuff like that.

Getting the response from them will enable you find out the loophole in your product because your customers are your major priority, make sure you pet them like eggs all the time trying to know what they love, what is trending and sells faster in the current market.

If you want your sellers to buy from you try selling them what they need, if they already have other sellers then make yours more attractive.

One thing that really allow people buy from you is the quality of what you have to offer, so I think by making it attractive,  you have to be ready to offer the best quality of the product,  and that might shift buyers towards you. Another important thing is you the availability of the product, buyers like to get what they want at anytime they need it. So making it attractive doesn't necessarily means that you have to bring your price down,  people when you sell cheap people begin to view your product as sub standard. So I think if you want to make your product attractive to your buyers, you have to be available at all time, and also provide them with the best quality and they will always come back to you.

Better value and customer relationship beat just being attractive. If I'm the buyer, I will be looking for a merchant with good customer support first and better value. I want a seller who develops relationships with their sellers, not just someone who will give them profit; it's not about what the buyer needs, but about treating them as part of a community.
I've been buying groceries at one store for years, and even if a competitor offers a much lower price, I just can't sacrifice our relationship. I feel a sense of belonging just by buying from that store.

 To become a successful business man, one must be blessed with some unique qualities required for business management,  this same skill at times can be acquired but most require some sacrifice before one can have this desired ideas that will help move once business.
In business management and goods distribution,  one must be ready to introduce all necessary strategies just to convince the consumer to purchase the said goods in question and this said conviction skills possessed by an entrepreneur Is the only difference that exists among all.
To archive this, transparency and truthfulness is very important because it will help in building trust as without trust it will be very difficult for transactions to take place.

Not only that, after-sales service is more important. The same product or service would be offered by various sellers, but it depends on the service, after-sales service and behaviour. You should have something special from others to be different from them. I know it's important to understand the seller demands what they need, actually, but together you need better service as well.

On the other hand, you should think about creating a new market or service that would be needed by people. Have to introduce something new for others and make something unique for the people. Then you would have a new market and gain popularity in a short time.

I agree with both the points you've mentioned. First of all, customer service is extremely important for someone trying to sell something online, because the online market is mostly filled with sellers who would barely provide good after-sales services and so many customers complain about this. So if a seller actually does good in this area, the customers will surely be happy, and then such customers will become permanent, and they will also recommend your service to others as well. That's how businesses grow in general, you don't always need to run promotions and ads, you can get promoted by your customers if they feel satisfied.

And, of course, a business that provides something that is demanded but the demand isn't fullfilled by any other business, that business is going to blast the market in no time if it's managed in the right way, and the right way is exactly what I described above. When you sell a product or a service, make sure that you give your customers the best customer service so that if they contact you for anything after the sale is done, you should be able to assist them even then, and that's how you earn customers trust.

If you want to start any business, just make sure you have money for marketing and promotion, it could be anything platform. Even this forum, you see decentralization exchanges make adeverts and that money is from there pocket. Just because they are exchange and want customers doesn't mean they have to make swap higher what other exchanges are doing, logically it's doesn't make sense, if you even follow that path, it doesn't guarantee you will make any sales.

Can't agree more because we can send a cold message to any buyer or seller to make a deal, but it won't be reliable either. Also, in the market, one vendor does not want another vendor to grow. They want to make room for themselves, so they will try to steal methods and may even give bad reviews.

Although if both parties are selling something completely different from each other, then maybe they could make such deals, and I am sure people in this world are already doing it. Like a car mechanic buying tools and equipment from someone with whom he could trade other equipment that they need.

But this is not very reliable. I would only consider it a part time activity or a way to make extra money, not something we can survive on.

Make yours attractive depending on how you approach customers, and the setting of the products that you are selling to the customers visiting your shop for the first time is arranged.

The usual thing that makes people leave where they buy things before going to a new place is how they are being addressed and the settings in place for how their products are being sold. Many people want a place where they can be attained to properly in conducive environments and good market settings

[Unknown Op]

People mostly trust those who they know or they buy from them and your idea is high lighting this basic and important principle of trading  so building a network where sellers and buyers can work together and can definitely improve early transaction in a peer to peer marketplace. But in theory it can reduce uncertainty for the new sellers since they already have their customers within the network but in practice markets does not always work so kindly and neatly and people usually do purchases based on their needs and the convenience and pricing rather than the reciprocal obligation. And in longer run product quality and wider market demand and competitiveness still matter more than the from whom you buy.

This is kind of buying from my customers what they are also selling, the idea looks smooth but putting it to practice will be the hardest part unless you will so much concerned about satisfying few customers, and your business will be a small scale one, if you expand how can you use that approach to reach everyone who patronize you including those who are also in the same line of business.

To grow in business we need to think of good strategies that will beat competitors and attract customers to our side but this your idea is don't see it working on the long run.

[lovesmayfamilis]

This is called marketing. Demand creates supply. If your products are unique, compete well with the products of other sellers, and have a more attractive and favorable price for buyers, you can become successful. However, success is a very fine line; everything can always stop at one moment. Promotions and interesting prices for buyers do not necessarily have to compete with quality. Quality should always come first; everything else is just an addition. If someone says that good marketing will allow you to sell low-quality goods, then try to analyze successful companies that have been in the lead for several years and their place in the market and those who staged a big show to sell low-quality items but never got a customer coming for the goods a second time.

. Doing what others are already into would just put you in the line of competition and if you start that business when others have already been doing it before you came up it might be hard to succeed because the people they sell to already have their supplier.

Business in this modern world is all about competition, and you can't run away from that reality if you want to succeed in it. What I have known over the years is that, you must try to get a share of every market, just as other investors are getting a share of sales in the market you are dominating.

What I mean is that, if you are selling in a particular market and you are the only one there from the start, and you are making like $20k as profit daily, when other investors that sell similar products comes into that same market, the probability of dropping in sales is very high, and at times goes on your daily profit will shrink to $10-15k daily.
When such thing happens, don't be upset because it's normal, so the best way forward is by investing in several market away from that market, so that you can have a share of profit from other investor market, that has comes into your own marketing to share sales and profit with you, so it's as simple as that.

Yeah this is that famous "sell me this pen" thing, and I am pretty sure that it is not going to work for many. There are products all over the world, a billion different products, a new one comes out everyday, not all f them are "needed". You think people need some sort of terrible fun gaged that does absolutely nothing but jus fun? I have seen cap openers shaped as pokemons, you think we need that?

But that costs ten times more than a normal cap opener for a bottle, and yet people buy, that is not what they need, that is what they wanted. So in the end, we are living in a situation where people actually buy what they desire, not what they need only. Sure they buy what they need too, they need it, but they do not ONLY buy what they need.
