Marketing tip: Ebay Pulse
| Small business needs to be aware of business trends. What if in real time you could see what people are buying around the world - would that help you to know what to stock? Ebay has a funky tool called Pulse, where you can look at the most popular searches from the past week. Why is this important? It tells you there is a market out there wanting these items. Go to http://pulse.ebay.com for international ebay or http://pulse.ebay.com.au for Australian searches. Remember just like regular ebay you can dig deeper - go into the drop down categories button and explore. For example - Harry Potter is the hottest book in demand today, and Phantom comics are the most popular ebay comics. In business the most popular item is an excavator while the most popular craft remains scrapbooking. Happy searching Until next time Ingrid Cliff Heart Harmony www.heartharmony.com.au Labels: business trends, market research, marketing tips, trends |
