This is a very interesting question as yesterday I was looking at the pages of ECAs in the UK and was quite shocked that most had no products on their pages at all. This is like having a high street with empty shops, if most of the shops are empty people are not attracted to go there.
If someone has gone to the trouble of setting up their ECA page and opening their account, there must be something that stopped them listing products. So if these ECAs are local to you, why not contact them and ask them what's holding them back from listing any products?
Perhaps they tried initially and then ran into a problem, a problem which you might be able to help them with? Perhaps they were not sure how to set up shipping costs? If the member is outside the USA that might be what stopped them in their tracks, or it could be any number of things. Why not strike up a communication with them asking why, you can do this from their store page, if they are still not keen to list their products and you cannot persuade them, why not offer to list some of their products on your own page. If they start to see sales then they will surely become very interested in the potential. With the new year 2014 approaching its a good time for people to try new things and face new prospects with a positive attitude. Having recently set up my own ECA Store with over 140 products, I would encourage everyone with no products listed to at the very least list one or two products, after all what do they have to loose? Its a win win situation for everyone involved. Happy New Year to You and all the readers and best wishes from me to all the ECA stores.
