Selling on Telegram privately

If you're looking for tips on this topic, I assume you know that Telegram, one of the most used messaging apps in the world, is experiencing significant growth. What you may not know is that this social media offers interesting opportunities for those who want to sell their used items even though they are not a professional seller.

Indeed, there are gods groups open to the public dedicated to selling and buying; to find them, simply open Telegram and type words such as "I sell", "I buy", "announcements", "marketplace" and "exchange" in the search bar. Once you find an interesting group, all you have to do is join. At that point you can share your sales announcement with the other members registered in the group.

Create a shop to sell on Telegram

Ok, the option I just told you about is valid for those who sell occasionally. But if you have an activity like an eCommerce, you should know that Telegram represents a great opportunity for advertise your products and increase sales. On this social media, in fact, you can create your own channel and use it for different purposes, not just to sell.




Telegram business channels, for example, are leveraged to deliver Customer Support, who appreciate the possibility of having a direct connection with the seller to request information, clarify doubts and resolve problems. But, more importantly, a space of this type will allow you to showcase your products and carry out a marketing activity aimed at a very large audience.

In your channel you can also insert discount coupons reserved for subscribers only, publish informative content (perhaps from your company blog), launch polls and much more. Among other things, the diversification of content is one of the factors that can help increase engagement and the acquisition of more leads, so take this into consideration when drafting your editorial calendar. Now let's see how you can attract new members to your Telegram channel.
