How do you make your shop noticable?
Do you advertise it on the shop ad boards everyday or something? Im just wondering to see how people get people to their shop. Or does it deal with your pricing or so? -- If anyone could explain what they do to get people to their shop, post. Thanks.

I try to stay in the top 3 on the SW. And try to stay at the top of my hut. That's it really. NB ads don't give you a lot of hits unless you are in 4M ad and it isn't always worth the expense. http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=atlantissix

Well for me, I price all of my items at like the 2-5 SW pricing (since I don't currently have SSW...) That's what usually brings in most of my views/sales. Oh and also, keeping a full shop really helps LOL :P Ok so anyway, then I just go onto shop boards or whatever and post my shop. That usually gets me the same, sometimes more, of what I get from SW. But today I haven't posted my shop on any boards yet, so that's probably why my views are super low... It also depends on the category... Like if you have PBs & MPs, I've heard someone saying about how it brings in n00bs that 'just like to look and wish that were them' or something LOL (raises up your views, but not sales) Books are a great category...; Same with training and neggs. I was training and neggs once, and could like never keep my shop stocked because everything would be gone only a little bit after I restocked, but you will still get a ton of sales/views. Food/Drinks (what I am now): Omelettes and jellies are the best things that sell! :P Idk why, I guess it's just that they're so cheap and newbies actually feed their pets LOL :P Other people probably have alot better ways of advertisinng than I do though lol :P PS... 4m ads are NOT worth it... Same with lower NB Ads... They won't really get you anywhere, and you just waste NPs... - What's your average shop views? *star* http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=_redhead99_&misc *star* ^^ Food & Drinks Shop! ^^

For me - its a lot of advertising on the shop boards and making sure I'm low on the SW list. If you aren't MM don't put outrageous prices - that is the main thing. Yes you're in a mall, but MMs have people coming from their hut to where everyone else can only get people through the SW/Shop boards. http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=evilbluemunkeyz

I usually don't get very many views off "mall"... *star* http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=_redhead99_&misc *star* ^^ Food & Drinks Shop! ^^

Thanks for the replies. I just was curious on what others do since everyone is different.

Every day I post about 20-30 notices on the Notice Board. I post them at the very bottom, and they get me around 20-30 hits a day. Not a ton, but considering I spend like.. 2k-3k NP on them, they're more than worth it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Need a book for your pet, or for a water faerie quest?
