Traci won $2,500 and plans on having the time of her life.
Traci’s been selling on Max Retail since July 2025 and found us on the Shoe Dogs United Facebook group, where retailers were discussing what to do with unsold shoes. Another retailer mentioned us. Traci said, “It was instant, right then and there.”
We held this contest to help our retailers get ready for the holiday season on Max Retail. We generally see sales tick up about 30% in the last 6 weeks of the year, so throughout September and October, any retailer who listed $3,000 or more monthly, listed at least once a week, kept an order approval rating of 98% or higher, and had a second point of contact on file was entered into the draw.
And each of these qualifications had a purpose:
- The more you list, the more you sell.
- Sellers who list weekly make 4x as much as sellers who list monthly.
- The higher your approval rating, the more exposure your inventory gets.
- Sellers with two points of contact are proven to list more frequently, ship faster and keep higher approval ratings, resulting in higher payouts overall.
Our sellers who didn’t win the holiday party contest still gained from participating, seeing increased sell-through and payouts.
We’re glad to be a resource for her and so many of you to move dead stock! Now let’s have the best holiday season ever.
