]]>Another Red Head? It's About Sales!http://blog.deal4it.com/blog/2008/6/13/another-red-head-its-about-sales.htmlTy Ricker2008-06-13T01:00:13Zaboutsales.jpgWe just reported the success that eBay seller OneCrazyRedHead is having by adding Rich Interactive Video to her eBay listings, and now here is another Red Head using it!  With over 700 items for sale right now, this red has great deals on authentic Coach Watches, Shoes and Purses as well as beautiful Concord Watches.  These are not fakes these are the real deal. 

We met the owner of It's About Sales in New Orleans during the PESA 2008 eCommerce Summit.  Jean Kennedy is another smart woman that knows how to sell on eBay.  She is a shooting star Power Seller and another customer service focused seller with a near 100% feedback score!

Jean is testing the deal4it.com Rich Interactive Video right now on all of her listings.  If you are looking for a really great deal, check out some of her Best Offer listings by clicking here.  Maybe you are curious to see how the different characters work when an auction has less than an hour left, if so click here! As you can see the professional actors engage the eBay Shopper to get in on the action and make sure they don't miss out.  Other videos that have been special produce include when there are many bids, auctions just starting at 99 cents, and also the auction that only has a few minutes left. 

That's what makes Rich Interactive Video so unique and effective.  It's what is helping eBay Sellers drive more sales, faster and for more profit using the Best Offer sales method!

One of the other things we are excited about is this Red Head also wants to become a star and be the lead in a custom set of videos.  We are working out how an exclusive character that will really set this eBay Seller apart from others and give something for her buyers to look forward to and to share with others! 

Stay tuned for more on this!
