How to get more sales

Proven seller strategies for photo presentation, title formatting, multilingual reach, item descriptions, and price offers.

Want to sell faster on Flear.ch? Follow these expert seller tips and strategies to optimize your photos, title keywords, item descriptions, and pricing.

1 Optimize Your Visuals

  • Format for the feed: Always shoot in clean, natural daylight against a neutral background so your item details and colors are sharp and clear in search results and category feeds.
  • Build trust through flaws: Don't just photograph pristine angles. Explicitly photograph and highlight any scratches, dents, or signs of wear. Being transparent upfront builds immediate buyer trust and prevents post-sale disputes.
  • The "Proof" shot: Include a clear photo of the original receipt, warranty card, tags, or serial number to prove authenticity, age, and retail origin.
  • Social Share Collages: Use Flear.ch's built-in share feature to generate custom social media collages and QR share cards for Instagram and WhatsApp to bring external buyers straight to your listing.

2 Title & Filter Strategy (Front-Load Keywords)

  • The Formula: Brand + Model + Core Feature (Size/Color) + Condition. For example: "Apple iPhone 13 Pro, 256GB, Sierra Blue, Mint Condition".
  • Skip the fluff: Buyers search for specific technical specifications, not generic adjectives. Omit words like "Beautiful" or "Must see" from your title and use that character space for searchable keywords.
  • Multilingual reach: Switzerland is multilingual. Including key terms in both German and French (or English) in your title and description significantly expands your buyer pool across the Röstigraben.
  • Fill out every platform filter: Don't rely on the text description alone. Use the built-in drop-down filters for condition, size, and brand. Many buyers browse exclusively via filtered searches, and leaving these blank hides your listing from them.

3 Maximize Descriptions & Enable Offers

  • Anchor the value: Always state the item's original retail price (Neupreis) to highlight exactly how much money the buyer is saving.
  • Set logistics immediately: Clearly state whether the item is "Pick-up only" (Abholung) or if you are willing to ship. Offering Swiss Post shipping on Flear.ch drastically increases your chances of a sale.
  • Be transparent about history: Mention why you are selling it, the environment it was in (e.g., "pet-free, non-smoking home"), and list exactly which original accessories are included.
  • Enable Price Offers & Seller Bundles: Turn on price offers to negotiate directly with interested buyers, and list multiple items in your inventory so buyers can build multi-item seller bundles.
