Will Australians buy honey online?
I'm asking the question because I've listed some honey for sale at ebay.com.au
Its fine Australian honey from both a leading brand - Beechworth honey - which is in all the supermarkets, and a boutique supplier - Des O'Tooles - that you won't find in any supermarket.
You'll have to search very, very hard to find the listings at ebay.com.au because, unlike at www.ebay.com, there isn't a separate category just for honey at eBay.com.au
Indeed that's one of the aims of my initial experiment - to find out in which eBay category my honey will be most commonly viewed.
If you just type 'honey' into eBay's search box there are thousands of listings for honey. But they're in all the other categories. - books, clothing, fashion, etc.
My listings are in the alcohol & food category. But within that category, I'm not sure whether its best to list honey in the jams & preserves section, or chocolates & sweets, or in health foods.
Thus far it all seems irrelevant anyway because the statistics show the only person looking at my ads is me.
In any event, I figure that if I blog about the eBay honey, and include some links I might attract some search engine robots, and some traffic that way.
So, I've listed a 325gm jar of classic Beechworth honey and included a link copied and pasted out of the browser bar which seems to include the search terms.
I've also listed some Beechworth Yummy kids honey in a 325 gms upside down squeeze bottle.
And then there's the Spa Country honey produced by the O'Toole family in Daylesford, Victoria.
My first link is for the Yellow Box variety. But I've also listed some of the O'Tooles Grey Box Honey and Red Iron Bark honey.
So lets see what happens. Comments are, of course, welcome.
