Have you ever wanted to add merchandise to your blog but don’t really want to worry about keeping stock, fulfilling orders, shipping, and customer service? Yeah– you and everyone else in the world.
There are a few ways to open a store to sell merchandise. You can take advantage of the eBay affiliate network, Amazon affiliate network, and there are several others.
Doing this requires you to go through the hassle of account creation, dealing with your affiliate information, etc. And while I have my share of BANS stores out there this is an interesting (FREE) alternative to BANS(eBay).
Bravisa is a marketplace you can add to your blog that allows you to sell merchandise for a given niche or subject. Bravisa stocks the items through Amazon, Buy.com, etc. and will automatically fill your merchandise for you based on a set of keywords you give it during sign-up.
Bravisa allows you to set your own mark-up during registration but by default pays a 20-40% commission on whatever sale you make through your blog. They host your store and you can implement the widget through your blog. Your visitors see items targeted to them and they can make the purchase directly from your blog.
Once your registration is complete, Bravisa will automatically generate a list of products based on your keywords which you can manually edit to your liking. While I would personally probably set up products directly through my affiliate network, Bravisa may be a good alternative for those of you just getting started or who are looking for a convenience factor in setting up shops on the fly.
They seem to have a lot of good eco-friendly products, so if you’re promoting those now you may be interested.
Just to clarify, this is not a paid or requested review, I simply think it’s an interesting concept to make you a few extra bucks.
Give people there own store and let them set their prices. Good thinking by Bravisa.
One thing I don’t like on this kind of store is that once the “possible buyer” clicks on a product or purchase link, he will notice the real shopping source.
I am not sure if that’s the way things go too on Bravisa.
GoScript, you’re right, other sites that act like Bravisa send the buyer to the “real shopping source”. This doesn’t happen with Bravisa. With Bravisa it’s your store. The only place the buyer goes is to your store. There is no concept of the “real shopping source”, there is just your store and all the products you’ve put in it.
sounds like an interesting concept will be doing some research on this one!
