What is an e-Tailer Store?

An e-Tailer Store is your community’s gateway to a trusted shopping experience.  

The e-Tailer Store operates within a closed environment and therefore is not searchable, meaning your customers can only find Your e-Tailer Store by good old-fashioned Word of Mouth (or in online terms, by sharing your store link).  

BuyersCircle e-Tailer stores operate in a closed environment to ensure: 

  • Consumers gain access to exclusive deals 
  • There are no advertisements
  • A trusted environment 
  • Content is curated to suit your community 
What should every e-Tailer consider when setting up their store?

When setting up your store, it is important to think about your store brand and value proposition i.e. who you are, what you offer and who are your current and prospective customers.  

Deciding your store proposition early will help guide your decisions on product selection, content creation to support your store brand and engage your target audience. 

Your store introduction is the opportunity to highlight who you are and what your store offers. We encourage you to make it personable, whilst speaking in a tone best suited to your target audience. 

Once you’ve chosen your store brand and positioning, choosing your target customer and understanding their specific needs will help you to formulate your store offering.  

Can you add your own store banner?

You can personalise your store by adding a banner photo and logo in your BuyersCircle app. 

  • Go to your profile on the app
  • Go to Store Setting
  • Add your store logo
  • Go to Store Configuration to choose your store theme template
  • Change your banner by editing the store theme
How do you select which products to put on your store?

When your e-Tailer Store is created, you can put products into your store by using the “Store” icon and “ADD TO STORE” button. There is a broad variety of product categories designed to cater to all e-Tailers.  

When you first sign up to BuyersCircle as an e-Tailer, you will be asked to select categories that you are interested in. You can get product recommendations in the FOR YOU section and go to DISCOVER to browse through each product category. 

Your dedicated Account Manager will assist you in setting up your store and help you to grow your store sales. You can get in touch with your account manager by filling in the form HERE

You will also receive emails from us to notify which products will be great to add to your store. 

We welcome new product ideas, so if you have any suggestions, requests or even supplier contacts, feel free to send them to your account manager.

It’s FREE. You get instant access to local & global dropshipping products at $0 and we provide you a completely FREE online store to share & earn. 

Grow Sales

How to increase sales?

BuyersCircle is designed to make sharing easy on social media. Sharing links on Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook, TikTok or any social medias platforms is one of the fastest and easiest ways to inform your community about your store and promotional deals – and for these offers to go viral.

As with any social media post or story, the content needs to be:

  • Engaging
  • Actionable
  • Relevant

Share via a post, story or message with hashtag and a partnership tag with BuyersCircle. Posts are shown permanently, messages are displayed permanently in a closed messaging environment and stories are 15 – 30 seconds long shown for 24 hours. We encourage you to use all forms to promote your store and products.

When is the best time to post on socials?

Facebook and Instagram algorithms means the top-engaged post is displayed first in user feeds, therefore choosing when to post is vital to increase levels of engagement.

Best times to post:

  • 11am – 1pm
  • 7pm – 9pm
How to promote my store on Instagram?

Put your Store link as your Link in the Bio, then promote your new store launch via Instagram stories.
