What percentage of your mall items are wiz priced?

Submitted by Pip on Wed, 06/05/2009 - 7:03pm
I'm looking to increase traffic and hopefully sales. Currently I only do 2-3 items per every page of 30. I just get frustrated because they sell out so quickly usually to other mallers. How many/what percent of items do you wiz price?

None deliberately, except for some of the very high end wearables where say only one or two people also have them in stock at 99k. But wearables randomly inflate for pet days and whatnot, so then I end up wiz priced, but I correct it if I sell out :P I buy off the ssw and then just add a certain markup to the price so sometimes on less common items I am possibly top of the sw for my letter category. I tend to get about 50 hits from the sw each day, not really sure how or why though

Nearly everything i have on sale was priced SSW at the time i priced them excepting a few of the really cheap items. I restock quiete a lot myself and price the less profitable stuff at the higher end of ssw so i don't have to constantly restock them. I go for a low margin to sell more, works for me :)

I[quote] just don't have the time to constantly restock just to supply other mallers![/quote] Lol that is exactly how I feel! Thanks everyone for your responses, I don't really see the point of pricing everything at the shop wiz price, because I want some profit. :P But whatever works I guess :)

None of mine are wiz priced. The only wiz pricing I do is for non-mall items to make quick nps and get them out

I have around 9 or 10 lowest on the wiz within a 50np limit... I get roughlt 20 hits from SW on weekdays... approaching 50-80 on weekends :)

[quote=spunky_munky_gal]I don't wiz price either. Only if I'm selling out something because I don't want to stock it anymore, or sometimes an item will go neohome 2.0 compatible and the price skyrockets before I get online to adjust my prices. I just don't have the time to constantly restock just to supply other mallers![/quote] I agree completely! I used to wiz price a lot of items but it was often just other mallers buying them from me as well. I am much happier to have a slower turnover rate and still have just as many points left to play with after restocking... not to mention restocking takes up a lot less of my time these days.

I'm not in a mall at the moment and 80% of my sales come from SW -- though I only price about 50% from SW. The other 20% come from bookmarks or other (I think it's probably my user lookup). I SSW every new item and after I sell a few (if they sell immediately I keep bumping the price up until I find where I make the most profit and still sell the item). Honestly I get tired of restocking (pricing) because I sell about 200 items a day and I only have 515 slots. Half of those are less than 1,000 nps so I have no idea what my real profit margin is and I have to visually check to see if they are out of stock because portal doesn't keep up with less than 1K sales. It does help a ton with pricing the less than 1k items! ~ Mimi (Please read my Guest Book: Requesting Guide Help) _____________________________________________________ Mimi's Ménagerie: Healthy Tastes Good Here! http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=temps_bons

I feel like I wouldn't get any customers if I didn't wiz price. I'm not market and neither is anyone else in my mall, so besides the boards and NBADs the wiz is the only way I get people to come in..

None. I have a hard enough time keeping up with restocking my shop as it is. If things are going to sell anyway, I may as well mark them up.

I use the SSW on everything. I usually use the 7th-8th price.
