[quote=lariboo][quote=mizleah]I think the problem with mini-malls is that a lot of the members aren't fully dedicated to malling (especially in the playground branch). They're just trying something new, and most will probably get tired of it in a few weeks. Once you get into a MM mall, then you know most members are going to work hard simply because they've already put so much time and effort into it already. I only got 11 mall hits yesterday, and that's probably one of the better days. I think we should just scrap the NB ad idea. I only get about 1~2 hits each day from them, so I really don't see the point. 42k for maybe 10 hits? That's not worth it! Maybe we should save up for 4 mil NB ads, or not do them at all. I'd rather spend that money on upgrading my shop than wasting it on an ad that gets me nothing in return. Petpet Paradise http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=mizleah[/quote] I think having the option of a 4 mil ad, that is slowly worked towards, so mall members learn how to save for something like a 4 mil ad, would be good. Like maybe you have an option for 20k a week, if you want, to put into a 4 mil ad? I know the ads are not mandatory, but when you get reminders and stuff to pay, kind of feels like if you do not pay, you are a slacker maller... Then you see those donating 200k instead of the 40k, and makes you feel like you should donate more, too. Personal opinion though. 4 mil ads do not do much for me this time of year, so why waste 40k on something that does literally nothing?? I like shop exposure, even if they do not buy. So I like hits..because maybe the more they see my shop from even 1 little purchase, they may bookmark me and check back...I get mails every so often saying how they love my shop and check it out a lot for new items, but not necessarily buy every time...It is nice =)[/quote] Yeah, that's why I always pay, because I feel bad. :-\ Petpet Paradise http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=mizleah

reguardless of the original purpose of this thread, there are a lot of good thoughts and ideas here that i think should be discussed with all of our mall members and the mall owner. our mall chat board is accessable to more of our members if anyone would like to post their thoughts on the nbad's and any helpful ideas for people's shop hits there i think it would be more effective. ______________ A Parent, A Shaklee Rep, a Blogger, and a Neo-Addict...

I make good profit from what I sell. I watch for profitable purchases and I get between 25-35% profit every day. I am not a very big shop but I'm dedicated to what I do. The number of hits makes a huge difference on your sales. Most of my traffic comes from Wiz and bookmarked repeat customers. I spend almost 100K per month and get little traffic from those ads. Because I am new to this mall, I pay for each ad. I see no point to these ads at this time. I think this is one of the reasons we loose members so often.
