TCGplayer Tips and Tricks
For starters, we highly encourage you to list all of your inventory, even those products that have been sitting on the back of the shelf collecting dust. This is the most effective way to increase revenues and profits during a promotion: the more inventory available, the better the chance for sales. In fact, 82% of sellers list additional inventory as a way to maximize sales during our Store Credit promotions.*
Additional ways to maximize sales:
- List your higher-end inventory. Buyers are way more likely to splurge on the expensive products they’ve been eyeing if the sale is sweetened by TCGplayer credit.
- Don’t overlook the power of listing format staples. For instance, Esika's Chariot appears in over 40% of Standard Magic: The Gathering decks, making it one of the most popular cards in the Standard format. Shoppers are always looking to buy these commonly played cards.
- Add unique products to your catalog. Aesthetics are important and shoppers are more likely to purchase unique products like alternate art cards and valuable variant comics during a TCGplayer promotion. Don't forget, you can upload items as a Listing With Photo if they're high value, one-of-a-kind products.
The most important thing you can do to maximize your sales during a TCGplayer Store Credit promotion is ensure that your inventory is listed and current. We take care of the marketing and promotion expenses so you can boost your sales.
