We wanted to share a Sellit success story about one of our merchants and her ShopBOT.
She held a sale over the 4th of July holiday weekend and got 35 additional sales!! This was all done by updating her status on Facebook and Twitter a couple times a day with a link to her new ShopBOT. Within one hour, she set up her ShopBOT, pushed the word out for the first time alerting her existing network and the sales started rolling in.
You might want to have your own "Post 4th of July Sale", drop the price on a few things and get the ball rolling for your shop!
If your Sellit account is already set up...
1. Write a short, custom message about your shop or sale to use on Facebook and Twitter along with the "link" to your ShopBOT. Get your link easily by clicking the "Share" button on your ShopBOT and clicking the "Email" button.

2. Add the message and your ShopBOT link to your Facebook status box and Twitter (Don't forget, Twitter requires 140 characters or less).
3. A couple times per day/week, tweak your message just a bit to keep it fresh (for those actually paying attention) and post it again to all your networks.
Sellit Sales Tip:
Did you know that you can actually post your ShopBot in your CafePress header or footer?? For premium CafePress merchants, you may use the "Embed" code (click the "Share" button on your ShopBOT) to place your new ShopBOT directly into the CafePress “header” or “footer” section of your shop. Loyal customers or shoppers can then add your shop to their profile allowing them to keep tabs on your products right from their Facebook or MySpace profile!
