@ Kara-thanks :) In the meantime here are some rejected mall names before I decided on NP Mall lol The first one Jellymall was a real consideration, the other 2 i threw together as jokes :P [img]http://i49.tinypic.com/2qt93pl.jpg[/img] [img]http://i50.tinypic.com/264jpc9.jpg[/img] [img]http://i45.tinypic.com/rh8w1j.jpg[/img]

Thanks for your comments and I want to clarify I was commenting that the person who said YOU should get to MM yourself was being a bit snotty (but not really terribly snotty because there was a smiley). Also, what a great job responding to everyone! [quote=Dmitri]*lol* Neo's Pet is the greatest name ever. That should have been a serious consideration :P[/quote] As a serious Matrix fan I must confess I had a hard time shortening Neopets to Neo! I love that idea and having Keanu Reeves in the middle of those pets is just hilarious! I agree it should have been a serious consideration and maybe you could work him into your current design. Take THAT Twilight! *lol* Neo Pets Mall could work better than Neo's Pet Mall... just a thought! ~ Mimi ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~ temps_bons graphics ~ http://www.neopets.com/~Mimi_Miaulement

[quote=Nilrem] Backgrounds I agree it would fit better with wearables, the reason im apprehensive is because if wearables goes with bgs then the most obvious pairing for grooming items is clothing. Grooming and clothing do need a home somewhere or then its silly to keep the faerie banner which other faerie quest shops might not want to lose. The reason I shyd away from putting grooming and clothing together is b/c the best way to market it is to list "Clothing" as the main category. In our mind clothing means non-wearable but to the average buyer i thought this might give undue traffic to the clothing/grooming shop and steal from wearables/ bg shop if people clicked on clothing expecting to dress their pet.[/quote] I actually think that Clothing/Grooming and Wearables/BGs seems like a good division. I know you said that "clothing" might steal shoppers that would have gone to wearables, but I dont think thats a bad thing. Grooming alone is a pretty poor category these days and I know that people on my 4m ads always hope that something could get paired with grooming to get more hits. Wearables will get plenty of hits either way :P

Thanks for the feedback Mel., My intention with placing BGs with grooming was to help the category since as you mentioned people usually hope its paired with something. I was thought that BGs would be more beneficial to grooming then clothes that dont lead to wearables, so I split wearables since I knew that it would do fine regardless. Of course Im always open for suggestions from those that apply, before its final.

Hey guys, its been a little since an update. Mandakitty12 has taken the wearables spot! She only wanted to run an all wearable shop so the Mall Ad categories have been changed to be groom/clothes and wearables. She was willing to let the mall stock backgrounds so that replaced paintbrushes in the community spot in the top left. As of now paintbrushes can still be stocked by everyone, but its not specifically linked since the feedback was that this may not be ideal as they are expensive. This could change back, but hopefully this will work better. I decided to go ahead with general recruits. Its obvious that independent main market mallers are a rare thing, and im not the only mall with openings. I figure its best not to postpone the mall forever and scare away any potentially interested mallers with management talk. Admittedly it was a backwards way to go about it, to try and find a co-manager first. However if it worked it would have been an extra comfort. Overall though I dont anticipate a problem managing, so im just going to go ahead and if someone steps up, thats all the better. There have been tons of updates to the petpage www.neopets.com/~np_mall Some may not be obvious but the include: 1) The navigation banner now works 2) The mall banner has been updated with categories, resized to 1450 and recoded 3) Ive made a format for Personal shop banners to go avoe the mall ad. Ill create one for each person as they join. You can see mine [img]http://i45.tinypic.com/4hw4nl.jpg[/img] If anyone is interested in joining we have alot of spots open!!

[color=#33CCFF]Shop banner looks great! Did the mall banner always have the same color items on them? I missed that the first time! Haven't the time to read over the page again but I really want to so I'll get back to this eventually. Also, I feel like a heel! I did not know you are male, lol! Does Nilrem mean "No Rapid Eye Movement"? That is what I think of when I read Nilrem. *unsure* [/color] ~ Mimi ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~ temps_bons graphics ~ http://www.neopets.com/~Mimi_Miaulement
