Peak Season for Fancy Dress Sellers

With Halloween season around the corner, this is peak season for many fancy dress & accessories sellers on eBay. Now is the time to prepare to boost sales and get ahead of the competition, and Optiseller can show you how!

According to eBay's website, there are over 130M active buyers, and thousands of active listings for fancy dress costumes and accessories on eBay UK alone. (source: statista)

One of the main drivers for sales on eBay is Item Specifics (data keywords). These have a huge impact on the visibility & reach of your products, both to buyers on eBay and organic searches via search engines. Some sellers have seen overnight increases by factors of 9 by applying the correct data to sell their products (source: eBay).

Using the Optiseller Category Lookup Tool, and looking at Women's Fancy Dress as an example, we can see the importance of specific keywords in the category.

Theme & Style are the most important Item Specifics for this category, and combined, they extend the visibility & reach of products to almost 100,000 additional searches in a given 30 day period. If you do not have these data points structured in your listing, you are missing out on a huge portion of the potential market for your products.

Theme includes keywords such as "Mexican", "Devil", "Spiderman", "Skeleton" etc, and the likelihood is that you already have this data available – but unless it is structured correctly you will miss out.
