Since everyone has different choices, budgets and requirements, it is up to the ECA to list products that are in high demand. The ECA should list those products that will give customers value for their money. It will help you to get the repeated orders every month.

The products do not necessarily need to be considered in terms of cheapness or otherwise, but what is in high demand, is allowed on Tripleclicks, is legal (not contra-ban) and can easily be processed and delivered in time to customers after an order has been placed without wasting their time thereby reducing the trust on the ECA involved.

Find out what customers want. Thereafter, try and provide them with the best quality at an affordable cost so as to beat your competitors i.e other marketers. To round it up, provide valuable items at an affordable cost but the price should be placed in such a way that you gain or make some profit.

Well I would not say one or the other! If I must choose though, I would say more valuable items.

People may gravitate to a certain item if they are in fact searching for that item in particular. Usually if they are already in search of that particular item and already have an idea of what the item should cost then the seller should employ good pricing techniques. The seller would not want to price the item too high as it may scare away customers. He/She does not want to price the item too low either so that he does not make a profit from the sale.

If the item is a service or ebook or something that is not physical or too time consuming, if you can afford to price low, go for it! It may attract more buyers. Even if the buyer did not set out looking for that particular item. If the price is low and the value outweighs the cost then that is bound to attract customers too.

If an item is prices really high ensure that the customer will see the value in the product and understands the high pricing they may still consider the product.

In general its does come down to cheap or expensive products. What you should focus on is valuable products and work on good pricing techniques. As I said some customers may have an idea of what a product is really worth and may become a bit suspicious if a really valuable product if priced too low.

Good pricing techniques makes all the difference: Know you target audience.

Keep in mind too that affiliates also look at VP value of the products as well. The more VP's a product gives for the purchase of particular product makes that product more inviting to the affiliate.

Hope this helps.

This is a hard question to answer as this is really dependent on individual preferences.

For my purchases (personal, professional, and down-line support) - I don't consider the monetary value but consider the long term value that a product will have.

An example of long term value is finding a TripleClicks product that will fulfill a need for now but create a long term benefit. I have purchased items that are expensive and have purchased items that are inexpensive but the benefits have been priceless. IAHBE has offered so much insight to business practice and has an added benefit of free business tools as well as provides leadership benefits too...this is what I mean by being priceless.

Products that sell are the products that align to the needs of the customer so a variety would be the best policy. Variety meet the diverse needs of the customers that SFI TripleClicks serves no matter the price of the product.

I think that anything VALUABLE and acceptable within the SFI terms and policies of selling is a great product/s to sell.

However;

Before you start selling at TripleClicks you might want to consider doing some bit of planning ahead. By planning I mean doing some bit of research or feasibility on the products you plan to sell.

FIND OUT

1.How many Affiliates are selling them?

2.what brands are they selling?

3.what is their pricing?

4.What are the most popular items that are selling etc

This will give you an idea about what's HOT, what's saturated or what's lacking in triple clicks stores so you can have a competitive advantage.

It's unfortunate most affiliates ignore this simple Marketing Tip and then go ahead and wonder why there businesses are not getting as many sales as they had expected. It's simple 'Failure to Plan is Planning to Fail"

I think it's also wise when getting started to sell products that do not require very complicated processing and shipping. Someone who is a friend here in SFI had a serious problem due to this mistake. It cost him money-no refund and the client didn't return the product after cancellation.

Reasonable pricing of your quality products will most likely draw customers to your store. We all like discounts. I generally tend to avoid stores that are there to rip me off my hard earned money. So please be considerate in your pricing

Lastly one other way to attract more clients would be to attach attractive VersaPoints to your products. The more VP'S they have the better for your pocket book.


Best Wishes in starting your ECA Store Business

I think a mixture of inexpensive, medium expensive and expensive will be great to have. We have people at all levels with all kinds of needs and budgets. However, what is more important than the price, is the quality of the goods being sold.

Just recently, a PSA of mine bought a watch from one ECA. The first "no-no" was that the watch was not the one she asked for. Then the clasp would not open. When she wrote to the ECA they asked her to get someone here (a Watchmaker) to open the clasp for her and that they would give her TCredits for it. However, the watch clasp was not opened even by a watchmaker and the ECA wanted her to send it back to them at her expense, (no TCredits given) which she is not willing to do and I don't blame her for it. Alongwith, the ECA kept pestering her to give them a 5 star rating. The point I am trying to make here is that whether a product is cheap or expensive it needs to be a good quality product.

Even if things are cheap, people will buy once - and then never again, because no one wants to pay for what they cannot use. They would rather pay a bit more to get exactly what they ask for - and something that lasts and looks good.

I guess what I am trying to get at is that we need ECAs who take pride in what they are providing and stand behind their products. We need a wide range of goods at ranging prices - but they should be exactly what the customer asked for and of good quality. If they are not what was asked for, then the ECA should check with the customer before sending it to them. Otherwise, all our hard work in getting ECAs will go waste if TC gets a bad reputation for the goods it supplies on demand.

It is totally depends upon different country’s ECA as per needs of the peoples of their own country as well as worldwide.

I check TC products and different ECA’s products in TripleClicks daily. As per my experience I can say one thing that you may sell expensive/more valuable products in TripleClicks. But it will be useful only to financially sound peoples those who are least in number.

If you want to attract more and more peoples to your ECA store to sell bulk products then you shouldn’t forget those affiliates/peoples who are financially challenged and also large in number. They are unable to purchase valuable/more expensive products but they are able to purchase inexpensive/cheap products.

So it is my opinion that you should list mixed products - expensive/more valuable as well as inexpensive/cheap in your TripleClicks store to get a massive sell and profit. You will be most welcome if you can list shipping free products in your store.

It is best to sell a combination of both cheap and expensive items at Tripleclicks. If you sell both then you are able to cater to the needs of all affiliates. Not everyone can afford expensive items and not everyone will buy cheap items.

Cheap also does not necessarily mean not valuable because there could be an e-book for a dollar which has valuable information and there could be another for ten dollars which does not contain such valuable information.

The demand for the product should also be taken into consideration because whether the item is cheap or expensive and there is no demand then sales will be nil or at a minimal level.

Before promoting any item, cheap or expensive you need to take all these factors into consideration.

When deciding what to offer your customers/affiliates at TripleClicks, several factors should be taken into consideration.
1. Not everyone has the same budget to spend/buy as they may wish. Example: When we need a new computer, (especially if it is to continue our business at SFI) we obviously want a quality machine that is dependable, fast, and cost-friendly. However, due to time constraints but lack of available funds, we may have to setttle for a computer that will perform the basics, not the Cadillac.
2. The type and quality of your products offered at your store creates a mindset in prospective present and future customers. Reputation has no dollar amount, since its value is intangible, but lasting.
3. Most affiliates have many other daily obligations such as family, job, school,etc. that takes time. Don't waste their valuable resources and energy at Triple Clicks with useless items that no one really needs.
This is not an all-inclusive list but just a few things to keep in mind.

What to sell on TripleClicks shouldn't be gauged by whether the item is:

"Cheap" Implies poor quality to some
"Expensive" implies its more than it should be to some

What you sell on TripleClicks should provide a perceived value or benefit to customers that spurs demand. The old economics of supply and demand. Sell what people want and the cost or value should become second. If you store has items, whether premium price or affordable or economically viable, that people find value in they will purchase regardless and likely return no matter what the price is.

Cost is one factor in selling. Service and quality are to me more important and of course need or demand. So, when you decide what to list or sell, factor in cost, value, demand, and quality and do some research on what sells and cost will no longer be the you main factor in your decision.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

I think the best items to sell at TripleClicks is actually based on and determined by how profit-oriented you are.

Usually if one wants to make much profit or gain, it is expected that He/She sells more expensive and even valuable items. But this also depends on the kind of customers you are expecting to sell to. If there are more members who probably have more than enough funds, then they'd probably buy those expensive items and still earn those CVs. Some just like such expensive products because they can afford such uncountable times in more years to come.

On the other hand, members who just love to spend cautiously or be economical mostly buy cheap things and also to save on such items.

So you can see that it really depends on your projection as to what kind of customers am I expecting to sell to: whether they are the ones who spend much or less.

Someone once said "...The financial status of your customers determine the kind of products you provide for them. If they are financially buoyant, expect more sales, but if not then expect less..."

I hope this helped.
