Thread: Take off tailor tag, business increases???
Last night had to be one of the strangest nights of SWG for me yet. I decided that with the upcoming changes for BE's (all the new pet offerings - a poison spitting CL 50 bunny rabbit anyone?) I had better start drumming up some business, so I took off my master tailor tag which I've been wearing for the past couple of weeks, and put on my master BE tag. Then I started working on restocking the vendors which I'm woefully behind on.
No tells at all for pets, tissues, stims, training, zippo, nada. However, I had by far the busiest night ever as a tailor. The tells never stopped! I got almost no restocking done, but did probably 300k-400k worth of business, all of the custom variety. One guy alone ordered about 20 bio enhanced items. And the really odd thing is that almost 100% of it was brand new customers. How they found me I have no clue at all. One guy even sent me a tell asking if BE's make synth cloth, cause he needed some, rofl. Funny, cause as a "tailor" I had gotten no such requests in the last week. I told him to go find a tailor, lol. Hmm, so now maybe next time I want to "hide" instead of making clothing I should... put my master tailor tag back on? ROFL. I seriously don't get it.
Could be most people are finding that the BE tissues are becoming the bottleneck for BE enhanced clothing. After a few, I could make it but I don't have the tissues, people may think that they need to get the tissue before they can think about getting the clothes. So the people were looking for the BEs.
The fact that you are both makes you an excellent contact. And your name would likely be passed around.
