Shop Sizes Question...thoughts?
Does it make more sense to keep my size smaller and fully stocked, or keep upgrading though I'll have trouble keeping it fully stocked that way..? Currently my shop is size 51..I want to grow to a large shop. My category is Food/Drinks/Bakery and I am not in a mall.

smaller and fully stocked until you have enough to go 270 or something ----------------------------- [color=purple]Contrary to popular belief, the Irish and I are not married[/color]

Theres no sense in upgrading if you do not have the pure to purchase stock to fill that space. I dont know how best to explain my theories on upgrades, but from my expirence, you start small and just keep it stocked as often as you can (as saudor mentioned). Keep your prices reasonable* when your size is small, as shop wizard/SSW searches will be your highest source of customers, since you are not in a mall and not in main market. I dont know much on the category you are in, but in general, things will roll slowly, but keep busy and try to manage your stock as often as time/NP allots. Whenever you have built up some spare pure, give yourself an upgrade or two. Split the extra pure between upgrades and stock to fill the new space. Keep following the same process, increasing size and stock. Eventually you should be able to purchase more expensive stock items and/or higher quantities of stock. Finding great snipes when your stocking will greatly decrease the time needed to achieve these goals. In essence, things should snowball. *Having both SW priced items and some price boosted items is a good idea Of course, none of this is set in stone, and I am no expert at this. I just am bouncing my thoughts off of my own expirences :D [font=Courier New] -------------------------------------------------------------- The STUFF - Mainly Codestones @ reasonable prices http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=whispering_acara&misc [/font]

:) Thanks for the ideas/advice! I really love neomallers because when I joined I was worried I may feel unwelcome or left out because most members are experienced mallers and have HUGE shops..but you're all so friendly and helpful! so thanks again
