Selling on DaWanda: The 5 best tips

In our five best tips, we will show you how to sell successfully through the DaWanda online shop.

Selling on DaWanda: The eye also buys

The most important thing in the DaWanda offer is the photos. Here the buyer usually decides for or against a product within a few seconds. Therefore, please note the following when choosing your pictures:

• The photo should be well lit. It is best to take your pictures in daylight. For example, place your products near a window to use natural daylight. The best tips for the perfect product photo can be found in this article.
• It is best to always use a uniform background for your products and shadowing for the photos. This way your shop looks more professional.
• For the first photo, which is shown in large format, take a front view. For further shots, you can choose different perspectives or close-ups that show further details of the product.

The right communication with DaWanda customers

As a seller, you should be serious about your customers. Do not only pay attention to a well-groomed tone, but always answer questions about your products quickly so that potential buyers do not look elsewhere.

• This includes, among other things, that you create a concise seller profile, preferably with a professional photo and a personal touch.
• Offer your customers transparent shipping costs. Combined shipping for several purchased items is also very popular with customers. From a certain amount, it is also worthwhile to cover all of the shipping costs.
• You should also respond professionally to complaints or exchanges and always clarify your terms with the customer beforehand.
• Adhere to delivery times and always inform your customers personally and politely if a delivery should be delayed.
• The way you send your product also plays a major role. Make an effort to pack or include smaller promotional items.

The ideal DaWanda shop

To see how other well-rated sellers are doing on DaWanda, you should take a look at the other profiles and compare them with your own.

• Check whether other shops have a more welcoming effect on you than your own.
• Read the product descriptions especially for well-rated shops and compare them with your own. Can you optimize your texts even further?
• Does the seller look serious? How did other customers rate it? Collect these impressions from friends for your own shop.
