OpenSky Product Marketing

No matter what marketplace(s) you’re selling on, channeling online traffic to your products is a crucial part of being in the eCommerce business.

Channeling on-site traffic from OpenSky to your store can be done through OpenSky Boost, which not only allows you to boost your listings on OpenSky but also makes you eligible to bid on being featured in their promotional emails.

To gain an advantage over your competition on OpenSky, it is also recommended to drive off-site traffic to your store through Search Engine Marketing (SEM) on Google or Bing. Google AdWords, one of the most popular SEM tools, allows you to place ads right in front of potential customers when they search for products you’re offering. In order to determine whose ad will be displayed, AdWords runs an auction. If you win the auction, you are being displayed in the ads-section of the Google search page. You then pay for the ad placement everytime a potential customer clicks your link, which is why this is usually referred to as pay-per-click (PPC) campaign. Cost-per-click depends on the price you have to pay for winning the auction. The more popular a search term and more competition in the auction, the higher the cost-per-click will be.

Algopix can help you form a data-driven Google AdWords campaign thanks to its Google AdWords Insights feature. It provides you with a recommended search phrase, cost-per-click figure, estimated cost-per-acquisition, and bidding competition score. This information then allows you to set up your own PPC campaign that will drive more traffic to your store, thus increasing sales.

Lastly, there is the bulk analysis feature, which allows you to analyse up to 200 products at once. All you need to do is upload a CSV file containing your products and Algopix takes care of the rest. You will get the results in just a few minutes enabling you to source faster and focus on more pressing business tasks sooner.
