Cross Listing Like a Boss

What is Cross Listing? 

In simple terms, cross listing is the practice of listing a single item on multiple selling platforms simultaneously. Think of it as casting a wider net in the vast ocean of e-commerce. By doing so, you increase the visibility of your product, thereby increasing the likelihood of a sale.  

62% of multichannel sellers reported an increase in total sales after adopting cross listing.  

Cross Listing Apps and Software are tools designed to streamline the process, allowing you to list your items across multiple platforms with just a few clicks as opposed to listing every item individually on each platform.  

Here’s what they can do: 

• Simplify the Listing Process: Instead of manually creating listings on each platform, these apps automate the process saving you time and effort. 
• Sync Inventory: They ensure that your inventory is always up-to-date across all platforms, preventing overselling and removing stale or sold items from multiple platforms.  
• Track Performance: Many of these apps provide analytics to help you track the performance of your listings across different platforms. 
• Easy photo editing: Most cross listing apps sync with the popular PhotoRoom app which allows you to take the perfect pictures of items and remove the background for the most professional online photos.  

How Much Do They Cost? 

Like most apps, the price ranges of Cross Listing Apps & Software vary widely depending on their features and capabilities. You can find some basic ones for as low as $10 per month, while more comprehensive solutions may cost upwards of $100 per month.  

Can Furniture Stores Benefit From Cross Listing? 

Kellie, owner of Divine Consign a 23,000 SF store with huge e-commerce sales numbers, has come across a unique finding in cross listing furniture to different selling platforms. 

She uses a virtual employee who does all the cross listing so she’s paying minimal hourly rates for the work and utilizes her much higher dollar per hour staff to sell to customers in-store and perform other in-store-only tasks.  

She increases the selling price of cross-listed items to help compensate for the additional percentage paid to the platform. 

Kellie has found that by cross listing on other furniture platforms, she is actually increasing traffic to her website and increasing her own website sales. Most of her items that are cross listed do not sell on the other platforms but instead, customers find her website and will come there to purchase that item or find a different item that they like better. So cross-listing can be a marketing strategy not just a sales strategy. In other words, if you’re cross listing now but not making sales on those platforms, check the traffic being driven from those sites back to your Shopify site in the Shopify analytics. Also, see if your New Customer rates increase on your Shopify site and coincide with when you started cross-listing.
