How Do I Sell This....

3 replies
Hello,

My friend manufactures these beds

I want to help him sell them online, my question is

- what is the best way to do this and
- if i hired you to do it how would you sell them

I have only been doing internet marketing for just over a year now still consider myself a newbie, my ideas are to

- try get them listed on amazon
- start an ebay store
- sell them from his website (i have no idea how i would set this up)
- start a sleep / bed related blog
- build a list and market to it

what can you come up with?

Thank you for your time.

    I would say he needs his own site. Once he has that he can use SEO or PPC to drive traffic.

    Best to start out on ebay and then also have his own website, and drive traffic to the website, depending on his budget PPC could be the best approach

    Whoa,

    Hold your horses.

    What's the USP here?

    How are you competing with Tempurpedic and the like? How's it any different? Are you competing on price, features, what?

    I get the whole "green" angle. Not sure how well that would help the mattress industry. Maybe if "green" means superior quality, less impact on the environment and less money than similar mattresses.

    How are they selling now? Retail wise?

    Also that flash site needs to go. Seriously. I don't want to have to wait for your content to load before I have to click continue to read more content.

    Again, there's no USP here. There's no reason why (that I can see on the site) I should choose these over your extremely successful competitors.

    Answer me this...

    Why would I want one? I've got plenty of options.
