eBay Store Designs – Why Bother?

What’s the Point in Having an eBay Store Design?

At Jarilo Design we are regularly asked “what are the benefits of getting an eBay store design?” or “how will this design help me?”. In this blog we will outline three key benefits of having your shopfront equipped with a stand-out-from-the-crowd-design. Of course all our designs are built fully compliant with eBay’s current policies and we do our best to keep you updated on any incoming changes as soon as they’re announced. Customer retention and maintaining good relationships is #1 in our list, proven by how we’ve maintained business relationships with 60% of our customers for over half our time trading. As a small company ourselves we know what it’s like and we endeavour to help other small companies make a name for themselves. For those companies starting out on eBay and trying to improve their status, a store design is the perfect direction to head in.

Boost Your Sales

Probably the most important factor when deciding whether you want to spend money on improving your eBay store is whether or not your company will see an increase in revenue. No business wants to spend money if it’s not going to make them more of it. Fortunately, having a brand new, high quality design does in fact help boost your sales, which makes sense considering your company would appear more professional and show you’re more trustworthy.

Show You’re Trustworthy

Some buyers don’t like entering sensitive information online and even more so with eBay. On a website you know the company you’re dealing with and their branding is all over the place. On eBay, if a business doesn’t use a listing template or bespoke shopfront design then potential buyers may be weary with the lack of professional logos and imagery. However, if you’re selling good products with 20,000 positive feedback, your logo and a crisp design in place, customers will trust that you’re official and not another bedroom seller.

Professionalism is Paramount

Having a fully functional, modern design in place on your shopfront tells customers that you are a professional, reputable seller who they can comfortably do business with. Just like being trustworthy, your company needs to be professional. If you want to be taken seriously then first you have to take yourself seriously, and a blank eBay default background is not the way to do that. Of course you do have to pay for top quality designs, but here at Jarilo Design you’ll find our costs are far outweighed by the results we produce, not to mention the level of expertise we can provide for any other projects, such as custom tool development or new website builds. Every single one of our designs is created bespoke for the client, whereas elsewhere you’ll pay triple the price for an off the shelf template.
