Tailor Archive

I have noticed my sales steadily declining over the past 3 weeks. So far this week has been a new low, even though I've stocked a variety of items (that usually sell), and lowered prices a bit. Just wondered if other tailors are experiencing the same thing? I put some packs on the bazaar and those are still selling. It's the higher-end items like bodysuits that are now just sitting on my vendor for a week until they send me that delightful "auction unsucessful" bug

Yes

I think is because the markets are close to being saturated.

I am still very steady, thoughnow its at apace that I can keep up with. I do think sales are slowing a bit on my vendors, but then again, it has not been really full either.My custom orders are still steady, one after the other every night.

The good part is I am now doing more weddings, which is what I enjoy doing so its working out pretty well.

Maybe try being an interior decorator, wedding consultant... party planner, there are many other avenues to explore, be creative and have fun and use your design skills to help those who are less 'artsy' than us tailors are .

No change for my business - I seem to be getting busier, if anything....

My business also seems to be in the growth phase still. It's getting very hard to keep my vendors stocked ... especially since I put a vendor in a second shop (a mall). This weekend, I expect to clear 500k in sales alone.

Mines slowed down too... almost to a halt, I'd imagine it would have to do with the Mass Tailors who are selling at really low prices, and have taken majority of the business. A few on my server who are PA supported.

Even with lowering my prices to just above rescource cost, its not low enough to compete.

Whats sad is I'm actually losing money now. Even Sadder I was the Third Master Tailor on the server.

I still have my loyal customers but it seems to grow slimmer still, because they have everything there is to have.

I think alot of it has to do with the server you play on, and the planet you base on. If your sales are dropping, just lower your overhead (harvesters, factories, etc) and you'll be fine.
