Strategy question and Shop front question for you guys

Submitted by propheticone on Fri, 24/07/2009 - 11:36am
First how do you link an item saying sale or whatever where they click and takes them right to that item. I have found that it works very well for selling that item. Secondly as far as non main market strategy goes how do people feel about pricing about half at marked up prices and half at absolute lowest on the wiz to create traffic. Does this strategy work? I am weapons/bd and thought maybe if i stock like 100 scarab rings at lowest on wiz it would bring in alot of new bdomers who would buy more. Seems to be a good strategy to me Nice site btw :)

(a href="ADDRESS") Then you just put the html for the item, and end then put (/a) after that. Replace the "(" with "<"

Isnt there more to it than that? isnt that just to link to websites? or something

No, you link to the item in the exact same way as how you link to any other site. All you need to do is to use the specific link for that item, which can be found by looking up the item in your shop, right clicking it and click Properties. In there you can find the link including the item id and it's price. Use that URL in a regular "a href"-tag and voila ;) ___________ [color=gray]Chris, aka wushu_soldier[/color] [size=11][i]Sniper, maller, reseller Background shop of X-Mart Neomallers graphics designer[/i][/size]

You have to put the image (right click on the item to view image and copy it's location) and link the image to the item in your shop (you will need to look at your shop front and rest your mouse over the item to see the code at the bottom of your browser -- it is a series of 5 numbers. Here is the code I use for my items...remove the ` because this is just to make the code show up here so you can see it: <` a href=/browseshop.phtml?owner=temps_bons&buy_obj_info_id=24300&buy_cost_neopoints=?#i `> <` img src="http://images.neopets.com/items/foo_cybunny_stew.gif" border="0" `> <` a href=/browseshop.phtml?owner=temps_bons&buy_obj_info_id=25000&buy_cost_neopoints=?#i `> <` img src="http://images.neopets.com/items/foo_spotkau_sundae.gif" border="0" `> <` a href=/browseshop.phtml?owner=temps_bons&buy_obj_info_id=32205&buy_cost_neopoints=?#i `> <` img src="http://images.neopets.com/items/foo_speckled_doughnut.gif" border="0" `> <`a href=/browseshop.phtml?owner=temps_bons&buy_obj_info_id=20289&buy_cost_neopoints=?#i `> <` img src="http://images.neopets.com/items/food_jellycone.gif" border="0" `> If you price half at SW prices then they cannot be the one item or people would have to be looking that item up. Also, if you put 100 anything at the lowest everyone just prices under you so the item becomes worth less or someone like me will come along and buy all of them, put them in my SDB and sell them for more. Pricing 25-50 different items at middle of SSW or the 10th lowest price on SW works great for traffic to my shop. Over 70 people get to my shop through SW every day and I don't price very many items by SW. Also, advertise on the Shop Ads Board and you'll get more shoppers as well. Good luck! _____________________________________________________ ~ Mimi's Ménagerie Avatars ~ http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=temps_bons&misc
