This week's Drip Tip shows you how to take advantage of and our new search functionality on the platform!

Users will now have the ability to search for products via the search bar on our website and mobile! This means that products you have loaded in your store and stream, fixed price and auction, will be visible via search for users. During this time, it is particularly important to have clean and clear product images and descriptions, so that customers can understand what they are looking at when they search.

How The Search Functionality Works

Using the platform’s search functionality, users will be shown: seller shops, streams, and products associated with the words used in the search!

Having descriptive products uploaded will be very beneficial as users searching for something they would like to buy will have access to find it via the search. When users stumble upon a product they like and click, they will be directed to a landing page for that product. There they will have the option to purchase the product, and can also see the seller selling it and their rating on Drip.

At the bottom of the product page there will be recommended “similar products” which will show potential buyers other items similar to the one they originally clicked on. For example, if you have various slabs listed at fixed prices, other slabs in your inventory will be recommended.

Similarly, if you have auctions lined up for the night and loaded ahead of time, when potential buyers use the search function they can find your auctions. At the end of the auction product page, other similar auctions will be listed out.

More Discoverability By Listing Products Ahead of Time

With the new product search capability, it now makes even more sense to list products out ahead of time. Having things listed out will let you be more visible to users searching on the platform.

Be sure to upload all product details associated with purchasing the product so that buyers know what they are getting into. If it is a break, let them know. If it is a duck race.. let them know. The more transparency the better, as it will help potential buyers complete a transaction.

The product page allows the user the ability to click on your Drip shop profile, where they can then see your upcoming streams, all available products, and past streams!

Sharing Product Links

Products now have their own landing page, which have a shareable link you can use to promote to your audience and help you drive sales! As sellers, you oftentimes will have a product you want to highlight, or new release you are featuring. This can be used strategically when selling packs from a vintage box break, or driving audience to a specific item like your Give $15 Get $15 Welcome Bundle.
