In this blog post, we’ll dive deeper into four great strategies that will get your TPT store prepped and ready for the big sale. So, grab your favorite pen, jot down some notes, and let’s get ready to rock this back-to-school sale together!
#1 – Post Your Resources ASAP!
Time is of the essence, my fellow Teacherpreneur! Don’t wait another moment – finish up and post those resources that you have been putting off. The back-to-school sale is a golden opportunity to showcase your creations to a wider audience. Whether it’s engaging lesson plans, interactive activities, or skill-building projects, ensure your products are live and ready to be seen!
Remember, you can’t sell what isn’t there! So, dust off those drafts, double-check for any necessary updates, and hit ‘Submit’.
#2 – Create Irresistible Previews
First impressions matter – that’s why captivating previews are your secret weapon to increase sales during the back-to-school sale! TPT’s data has spoken, and it’s crystal clear – buyers are more likely to click that “add to cart” button if your product comes with an informative preview.
Think of your preview as a window into your creation, where potential buyers can get a taste of what’s in store for them. Showcase snippets of your resources, highlight key features, and let your unique style shine. But don’t forget to also sprinkle in essential information about the product so that the buyer can make an informed decision to purchase or not. Share why your product is a game-changer, how it addresses their needs, and why they simply cannot miss out on having it in their classroom!
#3 – Cross-sell with Related Resource
You’ve hooked the buyer with your fantastic product, but why stop there? Maximize your sales potential by cross-selling related resources in your product descriptions. By linking complementary resources in your product descriptions, you encourage buyers to explore more of your store, leading to multiple purchases and a boost in your TPT earnings!
Remember, fellow educators are on the lookout for quality content, and your recommendations can make all the difference!
#4 – Optimize Your Featured Resources
When buyers arrive at your store, the spotlight is on in your featured resources section. It’s time to showcase the very best of what buyers need in the upcoming weeks or months. Utilize the four featured resource spaces that TPT offers. You’ll want to feature resources that cater to teachers’ needs during those first few weeks or months of school – think back-to-school bundles, icebreaker activities, and classroom decor essentials.
Diversify your featured items to cater to various subjects and grade levels, ensuring there’s something for everyone that stops by your store. And don’t forget to refresh your selections periodically throughout the school year to introduce other relevant resources in your store. Remember, your featured resources are your store’s window display – make them eye-catching and irresistible!
Alright teacherpreneur, you now have the tools to help you prepare your store for the TPT back-to-school sale. By posting your resources early, creating enticing previews, cross-selling related resources, and optimizing your featured resources, you’re well on your way to a profitable and successful TPT back-to-school sale!
Wishing you lots of sales and a great back-to-school season!
