How to Sell to Camps and After-School Programs on
CampDepot.com
As a
vendor, you probably know quite a bit about selling to camps and
after-school programs in the traditional way. That is, you must
have a good selection, and great prices, and often you have go
to conventions as an exhibitor to get new customers. Well, these
things have not changed a lot with the Internet. You still have
to have a good assortment of products, and competitive prices,
but now you can join our B2B MarketPlace and reach out for more
customers online. Through our Web site, your products will be
automatically exposed to thousands of businesses that need to
buy products and services like yours. You do not have an online
store yet? You can take advantage of our B2B Shopping Mall,
where you can set up your own store and sell your products and
services to targeted customers consisting of camps and
after-school programs. Here are some pointers on how to take
full advantage of our services.
-
Particpate in our direct e-mail
newsletter. We send out regularly newsletters to our camp and after-school program members.
Join our Vendor Program and you will be included in this e-mail campaign.
-
Advertise. Even
though you have a store on our B2B Shopping Mall, it does
not mean that customers will notice. A good idea is to run
banner or text-link advertisements on pages viewed by
camps and after-school programs. The advertisements will
bring them directly to your store when the potential
customers click on the ad. Another effective way is to
include special ads with the regular e-newsletters that we
send to camps and after-school programs. You will be
surprised how reasonably priced these advertisements
are. Please contact our Marketing Department
for
more information.
-
Buy
better store locations. Setting up stores is free.
However, you will be listed alphabetically. If you have a
name like "AAA Vendor," your store is likely to appear
early. But what if your name is "ZZZ Vendor"? For a very
small fee, we can guarantee that your store/products will
be one of the first three seen by your potential customers
in the category you designate. Please contact vendorSupport@CampDepot.com
if you
are interested.
-
Be
our Spotlight Vendor. Every two to four weeks, we
feature a Spotlight Vendor that will appear in both Vendor
and B2B Markeplace home pages. All you have to do is become a
Platinum Vendor through our Vendor Programs.
-
Have
a prominent Yellow Page. Much like your store, you can
use our online Yellow Page to reach your customers. You automatically
will have a full-page ad as part of our
Vendor Program. You can insert a Yellow
Page on your own. Simply login as a vendor and set up a
page using our interactive Yellow Page placement
system.
-
Create your own program
on CampDepot.com. We are always open to new ideas and
suggestions. Please contact us if you have
any other ways to promote your business to camps and
after-school programs.
