We all make mistakes when we\u2019re busy: Salt instead of sugar, keys on the wrong side of the door, hitting reply all \u2013 but plummeting the shares of Amazon, Google and Apple by nearly 87% goes down as a\u00a0pretty<\/em>\u00a0big one.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last week<\/a>\u00a0Nasdaq experienced a trading glitch whereby financial information interpreters wrongly listed test prices as live; with Apple,\u00a0Google<\/a>,\u00a0Amazon<\/a>\u00a0and Microsoft all showing prices of $123.47 \u2013 Ensue\u00a0mayhem<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Errors on your listings might not be quite as dramatic but when selling multiple items on multiple channels, there is a lot more room for mistakes that could cost you money and reputation. Here are our top five tips to avoid the \u201coh-no\u201d feeling that those Nasdaq employees certainly felt last week:<\/p>\n

1. Procedures.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It might not sound glamorous but having set procedures in place for creating and editing listings \u2013 that encompass double checks of pricing and information \u2013 will reduce the chance of mistakes being missed before going live.<\/p>\n

2. Checks<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Whether using old school dictionaries, built-in spell checkers or apps such as\u00a0Grammarly<\/a>, checking your listings for spelling and grammatical errors is vital.<\/p>\n

3. Be alert<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Is one of your products selling unusually well? We\u2019re sure it\u2019s because the word has escaped about how great it is but do take the time to double check that it isn\u2019t because of misinformation or a pricing error.<\/p>\n

4. Stop doing too many things<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Using a multichannel software platform, such as\u00a0Expandly<\/a>, reduces the number of things you have to do. Editing multiple listings and prices in one place removes some of the opportunities for errors\u00a0and\u00a0it saves you time so that you can concentrate on getting it right in the one place. Should you still suffer a pricing glitch, multichannel software makes it quick and easy to fix with listing management and Amazon,\u00a0eBay<\/a>, Etsy, Wish and\u00a0shopping<\/a>\u00a0cart integration. Simple.<\/p>\n

5. Don\u2019t beat yourself up<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Mistakes happen. If you do suffer a listing or pricing glitch, swiftly and calmly fix the error and apologise to those involved. You may want to honour the glitch, or if not possible make a reasonable offer in order to protect your brand reputation and gain some positive PR.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
