Are you excited?? I was out doing some shopping this weekend and I really noticed a huge increase in traffic around the shopping malls. Could the Holiday Season already be underway? I think so! I’ve even noticed a nice upswing in sales from my eBay store. I happen to love store sales, since it’s how I sell a majority of the year. 
It made me start thinking about double checking my eBay “TO DO” list. Am I prepared for the holiday?
Here is just a quick glimpse of what I like to do to prepare for the Holiday rush:
- List all remaining Holiday items – clothes, toys, gift items. You can’t sell it if they don’t see it! I always tell my readers to just keep listing to your store. List all seasons, all the time. Don’t ever wait and hold on to an item because you feel it is off season and no one will buy it. Some of my best sales are from off season items.
- Clean out the toy boxes!! We do this twice a year – before Easter and before Christmas. Both times we list any sellable toys at least a month before the holiday. Any earnings go towards new toys, it’s usually a great motivator to get my 6 year old to write a Christmas list so we have a solid goal of the money we need to raise.
- Stock up on shipping supplies! I know a lot of eBay sellers get their supplies off of eBay. Boxes, packing supplies, postage supplies, mailing envelopes, extra printer paper, ink…etc. A couple of my absolute favorites for supplies and postage off eBay are, Uline.com and Stamps.com. Stamps.com has a promo code – C-8RRH-ZNJ – if you’re interested in checking them out.
- Crock-Pot meals! – Nothing is more satisfying than sitting down to an already prepared meal after a busy day on eBay! Prepare it when you wake up and it’s cooking all day. Keeping a schedule is key to making sure your family is not neglected – and you need your down time as well. Keep crock pot recipes handy so you can fix it and forget it.
Good luck this holiday season!
