I’ve been selling on 3rd party platforms for over ten years. I began on eBay, moved to Amazon, sold on Kixify and I’ve done deals in the Facebook marketplace. I’ve sold millions of dollars of footwear and apparel. In all of this time I never received a message from any of those businesses thanking me for being an active member with great feedback. None of these platforms acknowledged milestones of selling 10,000, 100,000 or a million dollars. Only one platform actually paid attention to my sales and acknowledged a milestone, StockX.
This is an interesting thing for the company to do and I’m not sure if it’s done for every seller because I don’t think many sellers are willing to talk about their numbers. I don’t mind sharing information so it may be possible that StockX knew it would be a good move to drop me off a swag box, or maybe they realize that without the seller the platform takes a serious hit.
Whatever the reason, I actually appreciate the consideration and the snapback, t-shirt, Shinola Notebook and stylus. I may not rock it, but talk about distinguishing yourself from the other platforms and creating seller loyalty!
Kudos to StockX for celebrating this milestone. On to 2 million.
