Thread: How many items do you sell?
I sell betw 50-100 items per day and about 1 mil per week, sometimes ive been known to get 2 mil in one night. My shop is not well known in its new location, I was on Rori for a year before moving abrubtly to Talus. Im currently about 5k from the closest starport and there is still no shuttleport, my town is only about 15 people. The best thing ive found to do is to send yourself a Thank You email with a quick little note thanking the customer for their business and also a waypoint attachment. Then just forward that mail to each person who buys even the smallest item. I also sell a few various items on the Bazaar. Selected premium item to give it that fancy star next to the name and sold as auction for 20k to prevent others from buying it. In the item description along with the name i like detailing my store waypoint along with my name and "Custom Orders Welcome" message. I dont have ginourmous stock, just 7 vendors with about 150-500 items on each depending on which one. I find that most go to vendor search when they dont find what they want on the instant sale or auction in the bazaar so posting items there sell really fast and help to get your shop noticed. I do "spam" from time to time, maybe one day every few weeks and always in a new location. I keep my droid there next to me shouting the wp along with being able to download it from the R3 unit. Spamming for me though usually doesnt shout or say messages more than 1 time every 30 seconds. Treat every customer with respect and try to fill all the custom orders within a day. I also give my favorite entertainers clothing for free for advertising and try to hook them up with a new outfit once a week or so. That way, anytime they get asked where they got an outfit, my name comes up first. Hope this helps!
Good Luck
