Hi Guys
So, I've had 10 t-shirts for sale for a week or 2 now and not had a single sale. Some of my t-shirts don't appear in search results even if I enter the exact item name in the search box.
I have entered bullet points, descriptions, but still not a peep.
Am I not doing something? Or are these just no good?
Thanks
Mr C
Hello
Welcome aboard Merch.
You are not doing anything wrong. Merch, like all platforms, takes time to build.
Merch is a wonderful platform and great opportunity for a revenue stream.
Best of success to you.
You do nothing wrong. Merch is totally oversaturated meanwhile. Upload your shirts on other POD's like Teepublic etc. They don't hide your listings. (I make more sales now on other POD's than on Amazon where I have thousands of shirts up.) Amazon floods the marketplace with competition. Look for a business model with a better prospect for the future and don't waste your time.
You might want to do more than
for your bullet points. And, you might want to add a description. You do get 256 characters. A bigger problem is that there are about a bazillion Halloween Tshirts on Amazon.
I've also heard recently from some individuals that it may be taking up to 1 1/2 to 2 weeks for new products to be indexed into Amazon search results...I can't confirm that but maybe give it more time.
Thanks for the replies guys. I added a wee bit more text to the Halloween tee's, let's see if that helps.
It's strange, as the Fishy t-shirt was live as soon as it was reviewed.
To confuse me even more. Merch have just added .co.uk and .de to my account, still without any sales :/
I thought you had to sell a ton before being exposed to those markets?
You aren't doing anything wrong. Competition is huge. Try promoting your shirts on social media.
Advertise FB Ads or Google Ads with a low budget cap to build water flow. Takes time. SEO and social post a bit longer. algorithms take a bit. Make sure you're doing all the best descriptions for your SKU pages.
