I need some advice :(
This is my 3rd day of malling. This is my shop: http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=ricardo09 Size 103. I'm stocking books, and I already joined a mall, I'm just waiting for the banner code. This was what happened these 3 days: Sales Summary for : 31/12/2009 (Thursday) Items sold: 33 Total Sales: 65.831 NP | Costs: 31.985 NP | Profits: 33.846 NP ( 105,82% ) Sales Summary for : 01/01/2010 (Friday) Items sold: 4 Total Sales: 12.071 NP | Costs: 6.630 NP | Profits: 5.441 NP ( 82,07% ) Sales Summary for : 02/01/2010 (Saturday) Items sold: 7 Total Sales: 55.520 NP | Costs: 51.175 NP | Profits: 4.345 NP ( 8,49% ) What can I do to improve my shop and profit, and what would be better to the shop? Thanks for reading

Really I don't know what you expect considering your size. You aren't even in any market place. To improve sales it's a must to head to at least mystery island market. As for your stock, I wont even look at it to give advice, simply because book stinks even in main market and I have no idea how to run the category successfully, although obviously some people do. ___________ Kirsty, aka evil super mod [size=11][i]Sniper, maller, restocker Silverdragon siggy stealer Best wearables shop owner ever![/i][/size]

Ok, thanks. I have NPs to put it in the market, but I would prefer to do it using money I got from the shop.

I guess I am confused are you trying to determine if the mall joining was a good decision or is it the category you are in (which must have a very low profit margin unless you are main market) It is a tough one JMO! Guys do not kill me... I am just confused as to what you feel you need help with. Suggestion get on the board ads and post post post, help your mall members post their shops too! You will be surprised what a little time and effort can do for your whole mall in general. Please take these as helpful tips not the blatant sarcasm that they seem to imply, just text *yarr* Was any of that helpful?

1. Books is not the best category out there. 2. Read through Neomallers old threads. There are so many with advice for beginner mallers. The Preschool Mall: Petpet Paradise http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=mizleah

I agree with Mizleah. One thing I don't think too many people touch on - while yes, at your size MOST of your shop hits will come through the SW (so price at SW prices, even if it's just like, four or five prices above lowest) advertise like crazy on the boards. *nod nod* *** [size=10]Nioe's Parlor of Cuisine and Refreshments!
