Amazing Furniture Guide! :o :o Probably the best I've seen! :o It's great *clap* Well, you can put up banners on your userlookup, gallery, petpage, everywhere. That helps a teeny bit. The very best way to get sales I think is to be on a good hut and try to always stay on the upper portions of it. Usually the top person in the hut gets most traffic. But this wont be effective if your co-mallers are slacking and dont care about their huts, though. It's a group effort, really.

Guide looks lovely :) At size 72 it really is all about pricing and advertising, and finding the "hotter" items still. Keep your prices current and wander around the boards with your shop link as your sig ;)

:o Thought you were a Main Market Maller already. I completely agree with perpette. If items do not sell, try reducing the prices a bit. Keep a lot of wiz priced items in order to get traffic. Advertise a lot in the boards. Create a topic and keep it bumped. Post in "POST YOUR SHOPS" topics too. I believe the Preschool mall advertises its members on the Shop Ads right? That's good. :)

Now THAT is a PHENOMENAL furniture guide! Wow, I'm totally serious! It's by far the best and most unique I've ever seen! First of all, if you belong to mall, ask if they'll place your link to your guide on their mall page -- something as good as that needs to be shown off to everyone in your mall. Also, place a cool banner to your shop in the guide; something big, but not too big. Then, (sometimes this helps, if you do it right) post a couple page 50 NB ads ... they can get you a couple more people. Use the awesome Neomallers counter features to find out just how efficient they are. Also, I love to advertise on the shop boards -- it's where I get practically all of my traffic. Find a catchy topic title! Like it has been said before, put your shop's link in your siggy! That can always help a bit too! Maybe put a little bit on your siggy about what's on your store, because that can't hurt either. I really hope you're a success! :D

Wow Dani that looks great. I'm positive that if you send that to Cris and/or Larissa it would go up on our mall faerie quest pages with the other useful links =D. Glad to see you represent the little mallers =D =D

Your guide looks awesome. I would say to make sure most of your items are among the top five prices on the shop wiz. I also found it helps to carry about 6 of an item, especially in furniture. I do Faerieland quests a lot and sometimes you need to get 5 pieces of furniture for a job. If you have the best price or just about, you can get some good business. For example, if five people are selling one Functional Grey Chair for 1,000 nps each, and you are selling 6 of them for 1,010 nps each, I would go to you even though yours are slightly more because it's more convenient. Convenience and good pricing are key. The second, advertise constantly. Many people have their shop links in their siggy so that no matter where they post, they're getting their shop name out there. I make boards for my shop daily and going from the counter statistics, I get just as many people in Other and from the Shop Wiz, so the advertising really helps. Don't just make your own board, though. You also need to scan the other threads and look for people are specifically asking for furniture shops and post on those. Good luck!
