FillZ Newsletter

October, 2011

Dear Sellers,

November is just days away and you know what that means. It's time to prepare for another successful holiday season!

Review your online and physical inventory. An accurate inventory means more fulfilled orders.
Check your FillZ "Start" page frequently. If we can't connect to a marketplace, you'll see the notice there.
Make sure your billing information is up-to-date to prevent any unwanted service interruptions.
Confirm your pricing strategy and let us know in advance if you have a script request.
Use a filter script to reduce double sales on your popular items.
Check out eBay's 2011 Holiday Selling Guide.
Visit Amazon for their Holiday Selling Resources.

And finally...

Happy Selling!

Referral Program

FillZ rewards clients who refer our business to their friends and associates. Here's how it works:
1. You spread the word about FillZ.
2. A new client references your FillZ user name or store name at sign-up. **It is very important for the new seller to use either of these two identifiers.
3. We credit your account in the amount that the new client pays to FillZ after the first full month of chargeable services.

It's that easy!
