How do you motivate yourself to stock your shop?

Submitted by kirsty_to_stay on Thu, 06/08/2009 - 4:45pm
Like many wearables shops, i'm getting to the stage right now where i've just had enough. I can't take this anymore :K... I need to stock too since yeah, stuff is selling out at an insane rate. Help give me suggestions to get motivated and share your own experiences. Until now profits were keeping me going, but i'm past caring about them now! Don't suggest changing category or holding off and taking a break or I might abuse my mod powers on you :O No, but in all seriousness, I love the category and normally enjoy stocking my shop, you can just have too much of a great thing. One week of this wearables boom is taking it's toll on me. I know I should be making the most of it while it lasts, guess i'll make myself stock while I wait for replies.

Yea, talking to someone on the phone while I restock is a great way to do it painlessly. ;) ~ Love books? Please visit my bookshop. :) http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=lolooma

Really the thing that is motivating me right now is how large my shop is getting then a couple months ago and a great customer base. That is what makes we stock up 300 items every morning :) *yawn*

I started using the portal to restock "out of stock" items--man the portal makes that easy--I will probably add double or triple to stock as money permits because it makes it so easy to find what's out. Books! Reasonable Prices!! http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=kermat13&misc

If things are selling to quickly for you to keep up with without getting bored/lazy, I would raise the prices. Oh what fun it is to sell an item with a 40k mark-up :D

Speaking of which I've recently marked up all of my items by 1k and sales dropped maybe around 30%-40% or so. But I am still making more money. :P
