Strategies for improving traffic to your shop

Submitted by forcefedup on Sun, 19/04/2009 - 8:43pm
I'm sure everyone's tried some, & I've seen a lot around the boards, but does anyone have any unconventional (or maybe so normal it's weird) ways that they attract visitors to their shop? Maybe it was unintentional, maybe it was a cruel trick, either way, post 'em here! I like to freak out people with the thread title being extremely eye-catching and sometimes half true (usually because of character limits), or start it off with a question, like "WANNA WIN MILLIONS?" and of course, who doesn't? :P One time I told everyone Merry Christmas to get them to look inside my topic. :D (that was last week, actually...)

I find doing 1np sales helps. Although I don't usually advertise them on the boards. Also on the bulk negg board I've had tonight, I've increased my sales since I told everyone I'm looking to buy 1,500 neggs... lol. Maybe they're curious to see what my shop looks like? I don't know. It may just be coincidence..

No I'm actually looking to buy 1,500 neggs XD not all basic. Of various varieties. But people seem to be enamored by the fact that I'm looking to buy so many..

I was inspired by Nike(some #'s) he had 2,000+ basic neggs in his shop. That amused me, and thus I'm now on this quest...

When I fed Kadoaties I got a lot of traffic on my lookup and neomails. I've started feeding again. Now that I have the wonderful counter, I can see if that influences my sales a little. I'm all for exposure for my shop. My strategies right now are just advertising at the shop board daily and making sure my shop is fully stocked and well-priced. I joined a NB ad that was posted on Saturday, so we'll see how that goes. I also made a tiny shop banner for my lookup and shop. I think a bunch of little things can work together to improve your traffic and sales. :)

I do 1NP sales, plus I SSW quest items for people on the regular quest board in I'm not using the SSW for myself, and I chat on random boards. I find that going to the help chat and making a helpful thread brings in a few extra sales.

I'm really thinking of doing 1NP sales... but I don't know if I wanna risk losing too much profit. ________________________________ Are you feeling lucky? Click Here!
