Alibris launched a seller stores and rewards program to give independent sellers tools and incentives for building their online businesses. Gold sellers can now earn cash rewards for each completed order that started on their customizable Alibris seller store.
Alibris is a premier online marketplace for independent sellers of new and used books, music, and movies, as well as rare and out-of-print titles. Jeanie Bunker, Alibris Vice President of Marketing, said the marketplace has 110 million listings and 14,000 sellers and is experiencing 10 percent annual growth rates.
The rewards program is designed for Alibris professional sellers (called Gold Sellers) who pay a monthly fee in return for receiving a storefront and access to tools for inventory upload (books, movies, music) and file exporting (for multi-channel selling). More information about selling on Alibris is found on this page.
Here's how the new Seller Rewards program works:
1) Sellers send shoppers to their Alibris store by putting their Alibris store custom URL in their email signature, on business cards, on other websites, etc.
2) Alibris will keep track of visitors and any purchases they make from that seller - or any seller - and put the data on sellers' Dashboard on the Seller Hub. Sellers will see a 5% reward credit at the end of each month in their payment history for the referred purchases.
