Wide variety or many of the same items?

Submitted by lisa_Sweet_girl on Sat, 22/08/2009 - 11:36am
Hi, I just started malling a couple of days ago, and I've always wondered which is better: to have many of the same items or to have a wide variety of items? I sell faerie items and my shop size is 91, in case anyone wants to know. :P

Definitely variety. Viewing items 1 through 30 of 828 Profits: 438,398 NP Not even midday yet, summer sales are drawing to a close and sales are still very well. (just added 40 new wearables to my shop)

Variety pretty much always, and especially in the case of "specialty" shops like faerie shops.

~ May ~ Erm depends Faerie items, I would say go for variety - shiny is better :P When you have a faerie quest shop tho, you definitly have to have certain items at all times cause people won't come back if you don't (in my experience)... Altho I just keep 2 of each item xD

I would say variety - I just changed to having a full shop with three of each item to a shop with more variety but less stock overall, and I'm noticing the increase in sales already. Just be sure that you have enough of your popular items that they won't sell out :)
