Pricing

What is the best strategy for pricing a store? I currently stock clothing/grooming and a few wearables. I just recently started stocking backgrounds.

Congrats on main! I can't imagine it not helping your sales, especially with your awesome prices to keep people coming back.

I hope it works out great for you and your sales increase :D Keep us all that are still hoping for main one day updated. I know it would help motivate me :D

Hi everyone, I am just wondering how much shops do actually benefit from being in the marketplace, thanks to the awesome calculater provided here i have found that i hardly get any sales thorough "hut" i think it is set up right as i occasionally get 1or 2 from it, i have moved position several times but not much difference. As for pricing i go for SSW with my cards as i restock them mostly myself, the stuff i don't restock myself i sell for just a bit above what i brought it for unless i get a snipe. Of course some things in my shop are overpriced due to fluctuation since i brought them or being tarla'd i just don't like charging too much.

Your prices are pretty good - I remember I used to buy from you a lot when I was a cards/stamp shop. =P I haven't been main market for very long (since about November '08), but I found my biggest jump in sales was when I finally got to some of the large tombstones/huts in the smaller markets. It did increase again once I got to main market, but not as dramatically. Then again, I'm still one of the smaller mm shops at size 620. I do bring in some business from my hut now, but the majority of it is from other mall members, NB ad and "other" (which I think is the one NB ad I'm in not being coded for the counter yet).

I will saw just today alone sales did increase a bit but I got 4 times the number of hits from marketplace. I think giving it a week will give me a good feel of the results ;) I am SO happy! Finally got there :) plus a good spot Clothing, Grooming, Wearables & Backgrounds~ http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=ladytaelorae

Only a few a day come from petpage and mall. But I'm still a very small shop in a small mall so I don't expect large hit numbers XD

Yesterday: hut 0 other 43 mall members 85 petpage 0 shop wiz 152 noticeboard 10 I am lucky to have got into a great mall :D

My hits from being in main market have really increased. But does it matter where you are at on the page in main market (top, bottom, middle)? Clothing, Grooming, Wearables & Backgrounds~ http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=ladytaelorae
