When is it a good idea to bundle products?

How do you know that it is a good idea to bundle two well researched and well-performing products? How do you know that the bundle will work? On this episode of The Amazing Seller, Scott breaks down his approach to creating product bundles. The primary point that Scott drives home is that it is vital that the two products are related and complement each other. No one will buy gardening gloves paired with a baseball hat! Think through how the bundle complements and works under the brand you are developing. To hear more about this subject, make sure to listen to this episode!

Is it a good idea to list different product variations under the same listing?

As a business leader, you hate to waste your time and energy, so naturally, you look for ways to drive traffic to your product listing as effectively as possible. One way that many sellers do this is by featuring multiple variations under one product listing. But is this always the best strategy? Scott says that this plan will work well if all the products are the same only differing in options like size and color. If the product has different characteristics than color or size from the primary product, it’s best to bundle or create a separate listing. Get all the details on this topic from Scott by listening to this episode of The Amazing Seller, you don’t want to miss it!
