How to sell dogs
online revolves around two key factors:
1. Where you advertise
2. The quality of
your advertisement.
For
the first factor, check
the resource box at the end of this article for
a leading online advertising medium that has a very high sales rate in the Pets & Dogs category.
When
it comes to the second factor, a little thinking and research is required before submitting your ad.
The first thing to do is spy
on the competition. Simply put Yorkshire terriers for sale in Google and see what ads are already out there (or whatever breed of
dog you specialize in).
As you browse the ad
listings most will
be quite mediocre and hardly warrant a second glance. That
makes it easier to
identify the ones that are different. As your eye scans the listing which ad(s) jump out at you? Which one gets you to click?
If the ad had that effect on you, you can be
sure it is having that effect on many others too! So analyze that ad. What makes it good? What made you stop and click on that ad more than all the others?
Now simply copy the style. Note, style, not the exact wording of the ad. Perhaps after analysis you realize there were emotional, appealing
words or adjectives used that gave the ad a certain feel.
Instead of just describing your dog breed by its
name, what characteristics of the dog make it
lovable, or endearing? What are most dog owners of this particular breed looking for in a dog? Companionship, loyalty, protection?
Then choose appropriate emotionally charged adjectives whenever you mention the dog by name.
The headline of course is of
crucial importance. The first 3 or four words
should describe your dog in very appealing terms and the second part of the headline should provide a reason
why the prospective
buyer would want to read more.
What are you offering that other breeders of the same dog are not emphasizing? Is it to do with your experience, your facilities, special features or markings on the dogs you are selling? Choose a unique feature and emphasize that in the headline and the advertising text.
So
again the
question, How to sell dogs online?
Simply focus on these two factors, 1) where you advertise, and 2) the quality of your advertisement. You will be ahead of the competition and stand a high chance of being seen.
