Food. sold this catergory for like a year before changing to bakery and sweets which dont have much difference. What type of food are you selling and are your prices too high. I didnt have much trouble selling my food items.

They are selling and are priced at medium/low. It's just not a lot of sales; I only sell 2k a day. Maybe I dont have enough different things...

Hi, I had a look at your shop and here's some advice. You're not selling much mostly because of your shop size. At this stage of the game, if you want to sell and sell quickly, you need to price your items at the low end of the shop wizard price listing. As long as you are making a profit on your stock, try to go 5np or 10np lower than the cheapest price on offer currently. Because customers will always go for the shop on the top of the list. Once you have upgraded your shop to a larger size and you are appearing in one of the marketplaces and/or you have joined a mall (think of a shop size 100+), then you can price your items at the middle of the shop wizard price listing. Have fun with your shop! Witless Fool

Why not consider becoming a supplier for a larger mall shop, or if you really want to continue on being a maller, then make up targeted banners for the items you wish to sell :)
