Vintage Scouting Memorabilia On eBay
Tomorrow I am taking my patch warehouse employees out to lunch and giving them a nice Xmas bonus to celebrate all we have accomplished in 2024. In terms of sales the business all together had our best year ever. That's saying something in this economic environment.
Some of you will remember that in 2023 I had 4 different eBay stores running with a cute strategy to try and get sales. But at the end of the year I rolled everything into Santeeswapper and for the entire year we have maintained at least 80k items in the store while listing and selling almost an equal amount every week.
At the same time we abandoned using 1st class stamps and went to sending every package with tracking. With the hep of my employees we also lowered our shipping turnaround to 1 business day and by June we qualified as a Top Rated Seller on eBay - their highest distinction. Since I was not working at summer camp we just barreled through the summer and fall maintaining all the metrics while I continued to purchase small 1 box collections from people all over. So there is a lot to celebrate for a great 2024.
On eBay I have 135 auctions running this week. These include many National OA and better NOAC issues. You will also see the beginning of my very best merit badge dupes live this week.
I have been busy getting promotions rolling for the Charlotte TOR. I ordered flyers and business cards from my printing company, Next up I need to reach out to local lodges and set up district roundtable promos. My goal is to always make sure people know the TOR is happening. In this big metro that borders three other councils it's a matter of getting the word out.
