Casual Articles - eBay - Tapping Into The Japanese Collector Market
Writing and submitting press releases isn't the same as writing and submitting articles about your business. Press releases have a much greater degree of credibility among hard copy publications and major current affairs orientated websites alike. They may be published as released, amended or changed completely to suit the publisher.Seven ideas for a press release subject1) The launch of your new website. Make sure you define who your target audience is, and differentiate specifically what your website offers2) A free email newsletter that you're publishing. Again, make sure that you're
Printing can cost a fortune. This article will show you how you can cut some of those costs.So the problem to consider is this: how do you make your business card interesting while still keeping your costs down?The obvious method, of course, is to shop around. Chain copy stores, as convenient as they are, tend to use machines that are specialized for printing on lower-weight paper, and that are designed to print in lower print volumes. The toner cartridge for a laser copier will usually cost something like $90 in stores (lower at wholesale costs), and will print about 5,000 sheets. This means that
If you sell vintage Americana and don't allow Japanese bidders you might just as well place a "No Baggy Pants Allowed" sign in your auction ads.
Vintage Americana is hot in Japan with thousands of hungry collectors. These collectors have several things in common.
- They have money to spend on their interests
- They consistently pay high prices for the items they collect
- They are highly competitive amongst themselves. This means a collector will often pay an unrealistic price for an item simply to keep a fellow collector they know personally from getting the item
- They are extremely polite
- They pay quickly - usually with PayPal
- Once they have bought from you, they return again and again, quickly becoming loyal repeat customers
- They spend money twelve months a year - they don't suffer from slow buying periods as many American bidders do
If don't think Japanese bidders are a force on eBay, consider this.
There is a company that does nothing but act as a bidding agent for Japanese buyers. They advertise in Japan, have a website set up with sniping equipment, and full translation software. They place bids on eBay for their registered members, make payment in US funds, and have the items shipped to them. They then forward them to the Japane

A few weeks ago, some friends and I were on our yearly trip to Nantucket. According to ritual we stopped by our favorite ice cream shop as soon as we got off the boat. My friend asked for whipped cream on his small cup of chocolate ice cream. The clerk proceeded to tell him that “whipped cream only comes with sundaes.” Thinking it was a cost issue, he offered to pay the extra twenty-five cents that they charge to put candy on a cup of ice cream, which he felt would surely cover the cost of a squirt of whipped cream. The clerk refused the offer saying that was the “candy charge” and there is “no way” to charge him f

People fear people. That’s the common reality that surrounds public speaking.So why do people fear people when it comes to public speaking or giving business presentations? You can spend hours listing the reasons – nervousness, rejection, lack of preparedness, etc. The list can go on and on, but the excuses need to stop here.It may surprise you, but your audience wants to see you succeed. They want you to win.Here’s why:People love the bright lights When individuals attend a concert, play, or even a movie they walk-in with the expectation to be entertained, to be moved, a

One thing all successful small business owners have in common is the knowledge that their business is based on enthusiastic customers. Despite their multi-tasking titles of bookkeeper, service provider and sales-manager, their most important title is Customer-Enthusiasm Guru.Your question, undoubtedly, is how do I find time in my unbelievably over-loaded schedule to become a customer-enthusiasm guru? Following are a few quick steps you can take to focus on your customer in everything you do:1. Evaluate your customer base. Who are your best customers and why? What similarities do they share? What are t
If a Japanese collector is willing to pay $300 plus a $45+ commission for an item, doesn't it make sense to let them pay the entire $345 to you?
Some things to keep in mind when doing business with Japanese buyers
1. Consider using translator software when doing business with Japanese buyers
2. Whether using translation software or not, remember that many of the people you will be dealing with do not speak or write fluent English. Always use complete sentences and try to use proper sentence structure (simple noun - adjective - verb structure you learned in school). Using the chopped off English many of us have become accustomed to can cause confusion for your customer.
3. Always offer surface, air mail, and Global Priority shipping options. Many Japanese buyers want their items ASAP, and you will be surprised how often a buyer will spend $35 to have a $50 item shipped Air Mail.
4. If they want the item insured (most won't), it must be shipped via Parcel Post of UPS.
5. You will find many Japanese buyers hide their feedback. They do this to keep other collectors they are in competition with from finding thei
