Before we launched Ahwooga.com, we knew we needed to first have parts for people to find so they could purchase items from our sellers. In order to make sales we needed items, in order to get people to list items we needed sales. We call this our Chicken-Egg Theory.
It took some time for the site to gather enough momentum and find it’s way into the massive number of searches online, but it became clear to us early on, that our theory was correct. As more and more items got listed, the traffic to those listings increased and what followed was sales for those sellers.
The sellers that have promoted themselves in social media networks and forums and even to buyers that have come to them from other marketplaces have seen great gains. The sellers that have just included a little note that says “You can find the same and similar items in my Ahwooga.com store.” are benefiting from the “no final sales fees” and other strengths of the site.
As the number of listings continues to grow, we are sure this trend will continue. Which came first…the listing or the sale? Well in the case of Ahwooga.com, that is a question we no longer have to ask. Now that we are over 50,000 items listed in four and a half months we are seeing consistent traffic and sales increases. The site is working just like we thought it would. We see this as the beginning of a growth period that both buyers and sellers will benefit from.
We want to thank all the sellers who have listed items with us and we hope they continue to enjoy the growth experience of Ahwooga as we have.
