Ideas for boosting sales for Training/Luck

So currently I'm in a Training/Luck/Paintbrushes/Coupons category (basically lots small things lumped into one category :P). My shop size is a measly 150. How would you guys recommend attracting customers? I've tried advertising on the Shop Ads board, but for an hour of advertising, I only got 1-2 sales and ~20-30 hits.

shop size to at least spooky Im in the same category, so Im curious.... how many hits would a Spooky Market hut generate daily?

I average about 5 a day in spooky. :( I'm not at the top of my hut though, which may be why I do not get very many.

I thought Spooky wasn't working? I think since a shop has so many ways to attract customers you need to use all of them. SW - always have something that will bring people into your shop, since the SW displays random prices it is always good to have your name displayed there. So many people think when their in a mall they jack their prices way up then complain about no sales *cough* If your sales are low there is a reason, if your prices are reasonable then check to see how many users are online . Last summer it would average about 60k & now it's about 25k-ish. Check your stats & see how people are finding you, then make adjustments if you need to. You also need to have cheap items for the impulsive buyer :D like I stock a lot of faerie cup cakes, pizza & other items that cost maybe 50 nps & sell them for 400 nps & I sell a ton of them.

[quote=Nilrem]shop size to at least spooky Im in the same category, so Im curious.... how many hits would a Spooky Market hut generate daily?[/quote] Not a lot. Although, I'm frequently on the top of my hut, it still hard to get any hits. I think it depends on how many people in your mall banner is on top of their hut also and their shop sizes. You're in for a surprise. Your wish has just been granted! http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=1434sweet Do you need more shop sales? Come participate in a 4 million shop advertisement!

WOW! Selling: Maps, Neggs, Stamps, Coins, Cards, ETC! http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=1434sweet#p

I stock luck/jobs/maps so I can give you some tips :) What I do is price the cheapest scratchcard of each family (ice caves, desert, etc) at shop wizard price. The prices of these scratchcards don't fluctuate by more than 20 nps every month or so, so you can bulk buy them and put them in your shop for however much you paid (don't mark up at all). I also do this with coltzans cash sc's because from experience, I found that people are reluctant to by them at even 900np ea, when they are approx 750np on the shop wiz. Use these cheap scratchcards to bring customers in, and price up the more expensive scratchcards slightly. Experiment until you get a decent amount of sales. Try to make a banner if you can (or use this sites!) that remind customers of the great prizes you can win off scratchcards :D. For other luck related items, try selling the 'Neopets 7th Birthday Goodie Bag' (I think that's the name?). You can usually buy them for under 2k and random customers will buy them for more (around 2.5k). There are also the stockings (red, green, blue and red stocking), which you can buy on the wiz for varying prices, but then sell them all for the same price (with the most expensive one being cheapest on your shop group if you can). You don't make much profit from these items, but they bring in customers I guess. Hope this helps? You can take a glance at my shop if you'd like :). I'm only size 125. http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=jacko_vdz

I do that too with pricing on the super shop wiz. I try to make it to where I'm in the top five and I get most of my sales from the shop wizard. I also look for the M's because that's what my name starts with. The first letter of your name is what the regular wiz runs by, so if you can be the lowest in the first letter of your username that helps a lot.

Thanks for all those tips :) And jacko, I see that you're in The Preschool. I used to be in that mall branch a loong time ago under a different account (prior to a hiatus from Neopets) :) Good memories :)

I sell Luck/Job coupons too and I absolutly love it! What does your Shop Ad look like, because when I advertise I get lots of hits and sales - the Shop Ads Board and my Mall are my main sources of hits.
