I'm having trouble breaking millions in sales. I have had many days in the 700k-1M range, but have never reached let's say 2M. I know some of you reach the 2M daily range and also have 1200-1800 visitors a day. I'm currently averaging about 280. Mostly from my mall (150-200 a day), and the rest is from other and the shop wiz. I'm not part of any nb ad currently.
I stock foods. I have been since may 26th. My front page is all 'foods' - ultimate burger, pizza, sandwich, the usual high selling foods. It's actually where most of my sales go from my mall visitors. The rest is gourmet foods. I have an excel spreadsheet with all the gourmet foods. I use the ssw to search the gourmet foods and jot down the prices one by one. Of course this is for price fluctuation reasons, so I know the highs and the lows. It has worked fairly well, I haven't lost much np since joining. Although I bought some of the fairly new items higher than they are worth now - so that was a mistake when I started out.
When I first started I would ssw the gourmet food and mark it up 2-5k waiting for the price fluctuation to occur. This really caused a huge fluctuation in sales also. Some items that I bought from may still haven't sold (usually the new ones that have been constantly decreasing - I'm thinking I should just take the loss and sell it at the current price so I can start buying/selling the item again)
Recently, I've been taking the advice here of nicann4 and pricing at shop wiz price. It has been increasing sales, but also decreasing profits. I used to have profit of 50% (with lower sales of course), and here's wednesdays sales at mostly shop wized prices
Sales Summary for : 29/07/2009 (Wednesday)
Items sold: 124
Total Sales: 979,644 NP | Costs: 783,150 NP | Profits: 196,494 NP ( 25.09% )
It would be fine if I could use the ssw all day, but of course I get banned. I do use it every hour I can to search for items in my shop, but still can't reach the above 1M mark. Recently, I have been adding Kitchen Quest items to my shop, and it does look like a pretty good opportunity there, and also thinking of adding Kad foods. Any suggestions would be appreciated :)
