Let's predict hits/sales

Submitted by saudor on Mon, 31/08/2009 - 2:49pm
Ok. In the summer, the top shops were around 1500- 2100ish hits a day. Now it's dwindling to 800ish per day and canadians have still not gone back to school (they go back on the 8th) By roughly how much have sales dropped for you in the past once the september threshold is reached? Personally, mine has dropped by about 60% but just curious how everyone does :o

[quote=supre_drake][quote=pandacat838] Do you guys really think that NB ads aren't going to be worth it? :( I guess maybe not for the less popular categories, but what about training,wearables,furniture, the more popular ones? :o[/quote] The Friday/Saturday/Sunday ads for popular spots will probably still be alright. I'm just *guessing* though, since my weekend sales were pretty on par.[/quote] Yeah those days have like 3-5 posters. So lots of competition. Its a big risk to post on those days but it definitely has big returns if a poster gets the first peak.
WOW! Selling: Maps, Neggs, Stamps, Coins, Cards, ETC! http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=1434sweet#p

This weekend was incredible but today has been cut in half at the least. But I also was away and not on top of my stock either.

[quote=_jaspeh_]Oh, well in Quebec, College/Cegep started a week ago :o Thats weird that they all start at different times :P Tho Im pretty sure that everyone will be back in classes after Labour Day :( I stay on the 4mil ads throughout the year. Theres usually less ads, so less competition, so more likely to get top peak spots, which helps :)[/quote] ohh quebec. They're always the odd ball when it comes to these things - no offense though :P

My sales drop usually 40-50% depending on the day of the week.

I work at a college and our students do not come back until Sept 28... I thought that seemed late.

Hmm... Sales? They have been good. I've seen a slight drop the past few weeks but they are holding strong. I'm starting a new catergory that will help out a lot. As for notice board ads? I would really go biweekly on those. you would never make the money back

Where Everyday is A Sale

My sales have recently dropped about 30% from what they were up to for most of the summer. I expect them to drop another 15% or so in the next month.

I am pretty excited. For the first time I had 200 hits! I got close to it yesterday and now I've already reached 200 and the night isn't over :)
jfh79 | Mon, 31/08/2009 - 8:10pm |

Yeah definitely. It'll drop even more in january too since historically speaking, january-march have been performing much worse than september. If i remember correctly, the top shops in march-ish was around 400 hits. Half of what it is right now so by basing it completely on hits as a factor, sales should drop another 50%

Mine have only dropped a little bit, but I just upgraded my shop size a lot and I haven't had time to restock these last few days, so that could be a factor. ~ Love books? Please visit my bookshop. :) http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=lolooma
