How to sell via bol!
22 million items.... This is the size of the assortment of bol. An enormous range, which sellers just have to try to fall into. To boost sales via bol, you should not only offer your products, but also boost the visibility of your products. In order to outsmart the competition, you will find some advice in this article, including how to deal with sponsored products on bol.
Which products do I select?
By making the right choice of articles, partners can offer the most unique and relevant product selection on bol. Since bol is also dependent on you as a partner, this platform has created several spots. These spots can be distinguished in white spots and grey spots.
1. White spots
White spots are articles with a high search volume, but which are not yet available on bol. The advantage of offering such products is that you create a first mover advantage. This not only gives a boost to your brand awareness, but also ensures that these articles win the buying block.
2. Grey Spots
Grey spots are products with a high search volume, but where the price of the products is above the relevant market price. As a partner, you can therefore offer the product more cheaply, with the result that these products win the buying block. This is guaranteed to result in more sales via bol.
Tip: Do you have these kinds of products in your webshop? Then you can place these products via EasyAds directly on bol.com.

Now that the right products have been chosen, it is important to increase the visibility of the product selection. Ultimately, greater visibility stimulates sales via bol. We would like to explain how the visibility is increased: 1. Optimising the product data. You can only sell the products on bol if the products have been declared ''ready for sale''. To "sell" a product, you have to manually add the basic content to the product information in bol. By providing the correct product information, you can also increase the findability and also the conversions per item. 2. Optimisation of product titles. Another way to improve findability is to optimise product titles. For example, it is important that the distinctive features of the article are mentioned in the title. This means that the product title has to comply with the guidelines of bol. Please note! The above advice is very important for organic search traffic. However, these steps take a lot of time, as they are partly manual work. EasyAds is happy to take this work off your hands.

Boosting organic search traffic is a very useful process and will pay off in the medium term. On the other hand, it is also possible to boost the visibility of the products and the sales via bol in the short term. This can be done through advertising via bol. In concrete terms, this means that the advertised products appear on three advertising spaces within bol.
Tip: The advantage of advertising through bol is that the organic ranking also benefits from Sponsored Products. This means that when the advertisement stops, these articles will have increased in organic findability compared to the period before the advertisement.
How can I advertise on bol?
To determine what the net profit of the campaign should be, you first set a target per product or product group. Then you set the Advertising Cost of Sale (ACoS). This means that you specify the maximum cost percentage for the campaign.
Before the ads go live, there are a few factors to consider:
1. Winning the buying block.
The article you want to advertise must 100% win the buying block. This is possible if, for example, you are the unique provider of the product and/or brand. The video below explains where to find the information about the buying block at product level.
2. Complete product content.
The product information should be as complete as possible. You can adjust this information within your salesperson account.
