Staying Organized as a New Seller

Seller Tips For Sellers Staying Organized as a New Seller

Introduction

Are you a new seller, bombarded with orders and wondering how you can possibly keep track of everything? Do you feel overwhelmed and end up forgetting important things because of it? If so, then this blog is for you. We will go over efficient time management tips and tricks to keep both you and your buyers happy and stress-free! You will need to do a little bit of shopping, but nothing is too costly. It's definitely worth it to make sure your booking schedule stays on track. The last thing you want is to feel overwhelmed and not put your all into your work.

Staying Online

The first, and arguably most important thing you to do is make sure you're frequently checking the site. Even if it's just for a second while you use the bathroom or are on a break at work. We check our social media often (I do anyway), so we may as well try to take a peek at the site when we do too. It's a lot easier to deal with, and plan stuff when you have only a few messages, instead of ten or more. Being online frequently will also boost your sales! You wanna make sure you're paying attention to each order and request with detail, and you definitely don't wanna come off as rushed. The whole point of this site is to get to know your sellers, and when we're swamped with messages it's difficult to have a real conversation/experience with each individual buyer.

Unpaid Orders

Another thing I would suggest is to cancel unpaid orders after 24hrs. This will ensure that your built-in order system isn't clogged, and you can clearly see what needs to be done/prioritized. Politely let your buyers know when they ask you to place an order, just in case they weren't planning on paying immediately. You can always reinstate it when they are prepared to pay.

Organizational Tool #1: Calendars

One of the most helpful things you can do to increase organization is to buy a calendar. Buy a big one (they typically sell at your local dollar store) and hang it on your wall. I have mine hung up above my desk, so whenever I'm on the site I can easily jot down my customers and their wear time. I write down their usernames, order, days of wear and shipping dates. I write them down in different pen colours for different people and I highlight things that are important. This is a lifesaver when it comes to remembering when I have to put clothing on for certain people and gives me perspective on my entire month as well as my important weekly tasks. If you're like me with a long waitlist, it comes in handy when letting other buyers know when you'll be free for wear next. Most calendars will have a little notes section on the side, I use that to write down supplies that I need to go shopping for such as; shipping boxes, mailed bubbles, thank-you cards, etc. I like to cross my days out in sharpie as they go so that I can clearly see what needs to be done next.

Organizational Tool #2: Address Book / Notepad

Lastly, get an address book and a notepad. Use the address book for all of your mailed orders. I use mine to write down exactly what/when they ordered as well as their personal info such as username, address etc. This saves you from having to go online to check the mailing info when you need to ship in a hurry. You can also review the information to double-check before mailing, which is always a good idea because some buyers make mistakes when putting their info in. Make sure to keep this book in safe, locked place because it contains very personal and confidential information, this is EXTREMELY important. I use the notepad for my daily to-do list, looking at both my calendar and my messages from the site. This comes in handy for planning custom videos, remembering to jot things down on the calendar, remembering to buy supplies or to message a certain person. Buy one that's small enough to fit in your purse so you're always aware of what needs to be done that day even when travelling.

Upholding Confidentiality

Confidentiality is one of the most important things when holding onto written information. I personally have a paper shredder and when I no longer need a piece of information, that's where it goes. Don't throw ANYTHING with a buyer's information on it in the trash and get a locked safe to put things like your address book. When I have guests over, I put my calendar away. It's just little but important habits to adopt in order to keep both you and your buyers safe.

Conclusion

So far, we've explored a few key themes: staying online as much as possible, cancelling unpaid orders, and investing in organization tools such as a hang-up calendar, address book/notepad and most importantly, habits to uphold the necessity of confidentiality. It becomes very simple once you get the hang of it, and as long as you're consistent, I can guarantee a stress-free experience for both you and your buyers! Thank you for taking the time to read and I wish everyone the best of luck with their experience as a seller on ATW.
