Market Research

Whether it’s knowing your current market share or exploring new opportunities, a detailed sales report containing all the sellers, their sales and market share percentage can give you a perfect insight into a chosen keyword or brand (for eBay). 

– Detailed eBay Sales Reports –
Based on a chosen keyword or brand we can provide a detailed sales report for a given period of time, providing a unique insight into who sells what on eBay. We provide you with what was sold, how many, along with total sales amount, sales value by seller, market share and so on. Since eBay bought Terapeak a couple of years ago this service has not been available since, until now. If you continue this over a period of time you can compare reports against each other to examine trends, see if marketing campaigns or listing improvements yield the results you hope for etc. It’s a powerful tool to have at your disposal.
– Quantify Opportunities –
We can use the sales report information gathered above to provide you with accurate data before entering new markets or selling new brands. Know the sales total of a keyword, product or brand to accurately quantify the opportunity before entering a market. It’ll save alot of time in the long run and enable you to focus on the right opportunity based on actual knowledge not educated guesswork. We can also look at selling online and whether certain brands / keywords are already saturated with sellers. Entering an established and congested market is tough and takes time, identifying the right opportunities, that’s the key. 
– Competitor Analysis –
Knowing your market is one thing, knowing the market when no one else does, knowing who sells what and how much, gives you a true insight into your competitors. It enables you to then make informed business decisions using accurate data. Not forgetting, every extra sale you make, is a double win, as your competition sells one less as a result.
– Price Policing –
We work closely with brands and suppliers across many sectors to help them enforce pricing. There’s an ever-growing policy by manufacturers to get everyone selling at RRP. This protects brands and increases margins for sellers, enabling them to invest. So price policing by suppliers / manufacturers is a good thing and something we are very good at. If you supply resellers on eBay and are trying to enforce a pricing policy or a manufacturer wanting to evaluate sellers discounting on eBay or on the web, we can help you with this.
