    Utilizing deals and coupons.

           Another aspect of the service that Wholesale Match provides is called Deals and Coupons. This section of the website can be found by clicking on the + sign next to member home, and then clicking on Deals and Coupons. In this section of the website there are over 30 different categories with hundreds of listings found by our research team that scours the internet for these deals from different manufacturers and retailers.


     

     

     

          These deals and coupons can be utilized in a couple of different ways. First they can be advertised on your own website as a "special limited time promotion", really marketing the item as a great buy that won't last. Second is selling the items on ebay, this is an effective way to put items out there and make a quick profit, again advertising a great limited time offer with prices that have the potential to compete on ebay. For example: You find a coupon for a computer that is offering 300$ off of a 1000$ computer by using coupon code "A12345".  You could advertise the item for 150$ off of retail price, giving a great deal to your potential buyers, leaving yourself with a healthy profit of your own. Here's how you can do it.

           To utilize the deals and coupons you should first select the category that you are interested in, or one that goes along best with the products you are selling on your website. Then scroll through the listings looking for items that are a good deal, (as a suggestion coupons that offer a dollar amount off are usually more lucrative than ones that offer a percentage off). A very important thing to note is the expiration of the coupon, if it expires in seven days you would not want to run a  seven day promotion because you want to allow  leeway for orders to be placed. If selling on ebay run a 1,3, or 5 day auction, again dependent upon the expiration of the actual coupon. Also pay attention to the way that the promotion is redeemed some will have a coupon code that you apply at the check out, and others will just be an instant savings.

         Once you have found a coupon that you would like to use, you're going to want to visit the site that the item is offered from. Copy and paste the image and write a description in your own words for the product you want to advertise. As described in the earlier example if you had a coupon for 300$ off of a 1000$ computer exaggerate in your listing that you are offering the item for a 150$ or maybe even 200$ savings off of the retail price. If the buyer were to check the retail site they would see the item offered at the normal 1000$ retail price as the coupons are usually unadvertised. Once your listing is complete and you have a purchaser, they will pay you into your account. You will then click on the coupon and submit the order applying the coupon or deal and enter your customers shipping information. And thats it, sale complete.

    Important things to note.

    1. Check expiration date of coupon or promotion.

    2. Pay attention to how the coupon is redeemed (i.e. coupon code, or instant savings.)

    3. Visit site where the item is being sold to find out shipping time, return policies, and also any applicable warranties to advertise with your listing.
