eBay launched "Retail Revival Local business, global market" initiative with the cities of Akron, Ohio, Lansing, Michigan, and Wolverhampton, UK, to train and empower local business owners to sell their unique inventory in a global marketplace. There are many a ways, one could promote a business. Thank you eBay.
eBay plans to extend the effort to add three more cities of which at least one will be out side of the USA.Each of the three city programs is now thriving and producing very promising results:
- Of the 182 participating Retail Revival sellers, 60% were new to eBay
- Collectively, Retail Revival sellers have made 37,000+ sales
- Approximately 10% of the combined US city GMV has come from international sales, representing buyers from over 70 countries from Algeria to Vietnam
- Sellers in Akron with previous eBay experience have seen their GMV grow 78% YoY as a result of the top-notch coaching and training they’ve received
- Lansing and Wolverhampton experienced sellers are also performing well, with current GMV growth at 14% and 33%, respectively
- Two Akron Retail Revival sellers, Five Blessings and Seventh Floor Clothing, opened brick-and-mortar locations this year — a tangible sign of growth, in part supported by their sales on eBay
You too can make a big impact of your own this holiday season by shopping from a small business, be they cute holiday cards from Five Blessings, a stylish backpack from Goodstart Jones, a vinyl record art from Records Redone or a cool graphic tee from The Social Dept. You can find all of them at ebay.com/RetailRevival.
