How to market men's and women's watches
Visual social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram tend to be the social media platform of choice for a lot of top watch brands. On Instagram, brands can use influencers to take lifestyle shots of their watches to help build and following and boost sales. You want to choose influencers that that you feel would best represent your brand. For example, pictures of watches with scenic nature views would be great if you’re selling watches as an outdoor lifestyle tool.
Contacting influencers in different parts of the world to take pictures of your products can also help make your brand look like an international success. It also helps people associate your watch with adventure which tends to be a common theme within watch brands. As well, with Instagram, you can use Shoppable Instagram Galleries to give user the option to buy your products quickly and easily directly from your instagram profile.
Facebook ads tend to work well for watch brands also. You might want to use your influencer pictures in your advertising to showcase the best product imagery. It’ll also help boost impulse-buy purchases. Also remember to use re-targeting in your ads to recover lost carts and boost your sales.
Having a customer referral program can help with sales as well. You can have customers who’ve bought your product refer your brand to their friends and in return, pay a commission for referrals that lead to sales.
Business model
Dropshipping watches allows you to start a low-risk, low-cost business. The most popular watches on AliExpress tend to cost between $2 and $7, which means you can sell them for between $18-$30. Watches with higher costs can be sold for more - it isn’t uncommon to find watches selling within the hundred dollar range - just remember to take you branding into account when pricing your items. Are you selling luxury, vintage timepieces or easy-to-use athletic wear? Keep your audience in mind when pricing the product and choose price-points that you think best fit their budgets.
