The most important thing after uploading your first items is not to start "waiting" for the right people to stumble across your shop. Instead you should start marketing your listings like a pro. Follow these simple steps and your first sales should be on their way!
A good listing
Is the basis for everything. Take pictures of items that are clean, ironed, fit the picture in full and have good lighting. It’s best to have the items pictured while wearing them, but they can also be shown on a hanger.
The description
Make sure to fill in as many category fields as possible and add plenty of additional information in the description. Yaga's search results are largely based on the keywords entered in items description, so the more information the better your chances at getting traffic!
Share your shop on social media
Take some photos or make a video of the items you're selling and design a Story / Reel / TikTok video. Be consistent and keep doing this every time you add any new items. Invest time in taking good images, use different filters and find a style that works for you. This is what bloggers and brands do and your shop should be no exception! :) PS! Make sure to tag @yagakenya - we share our favourites on Yaga's official IG account.
Add your Yaga shop link to your Instagram/TikTok/Facebook profile
Did you know that everyone can add one clickable link to their IG profile (under Website)? This way people can easily find your listings and start shopping without having to open their browser and typing an address. In Facebook you can add this to your "About" section.
Share your listings to various buy and sell groups on Facebook
Keep in mind that there are buy & sell groups for different categories, such as children's clothes, furniture, electronics etc - choose the one that fits your item the best!
