I have 13m pure.
Would it be a good idea to spend like 9-10m on my shop to make the jump to the Island market. (upgrading to 330+filling).
Some more info:
*I have shopsize 175
*I stock books
*I'm in a small mall with average shopsize 100
*I currently have stocked about 640 different books, including all water faerie quest books.
*I have a shopcatalogue
*I have an average of 40 visitors a day. About +-20 from the shop wiz, 6 from my mall, 10 from the forums, some from bookmarks/other.
*I restock a lot from the main neopian bookshops. (more profit for a small shop like mine)
*I joined my first mall(the mall I'm in now) 30 days ago, I had shopsize 68 only half filled with books.
Would be nice if you experienced people could give me a few tips :)
Spending tons on upgrading. Is it worth it?

My suggestion is to fill your shop, then upgrade, fill it again, upgrade etc. That way you distribute your nps between stock and upgrades. Obviously that only works up to a certain size, depending on the category and how much stock is to that category.

My shop (size 175) is now completely filled.
I guess I would be able to upgrade it to size 330 and fill it too. But would it take a long time to earn the money invest in upgrades/stocking?

I wouldn't do it all in one jump, take your time. It's a lot overwhelming that way - trust me, I jumped from 300 to 400 in the same month and I stayed at 400 for a few months before I got on my feet again.

I actually think that I would take a different approach than Kimmie ^^. I know that large upgrades can cripple stock but here's the main thing; the biggest difference in the world is when you hit main market. Your store is flooded, sales are through the roof - especially compared with mini malling. So I would think that the faster you can get to main market the better - and the faster you will make your neopoints.
If you do decide to upgrade I do think that you should leave a bit of neopoints for stock. Maybe upgrade to size 300 and then stock? Something like that.
Good luck making a decision!

That's true, Emma. But I was thinking that because he wasn't going for main it wouldn't make that much of a difference? If it was a jump to main, then yes! Do it!
Also, if you upgrade, then maybe you could make it into a larger mall which will also help your sales, so in that way, upgrading is good too.

Does it make a big difference when you get in the mystery island market?

Unfortunately no:( I'm in the top huts of MI Market and only get 2-10 hits from my hut. Once I got 19 which was weird but still it doesnt bring in that much more business

It might not make much of a difference but you can move to a larger mall and get a lot more shop traffic.

Ok, tnx for the tips :)
I'm not going to leave my mall now. I just joined this mall and I think it would be disrespectful to leave already ;)
