“I never heard of Bonanza.” “Oh, I forgot about Bonanza.”
With every sale I have on ebay (13 in the last week) I send a “Thank you” email from PayPal that includes a link to my booth. Plus a coupon in the package when I ship.
It has resulted in a few sales, but obviously it is hard to teach an old dog a new trick.
And just today…again…I tell a buyer who asked if I would consider a lower price that I have it listed here for less and I get, “I never heard of Bonanza”.
When or where does Bonanza advertise…if ever?

As long as the buyer can find you on ebay or amazon, why bother to use a search engine for other options….
I have seen small ads on various websites…but again, people have to actually use a search engine to see the ad links along with the results…and an ad in a magazine…but as far as I know most don’t bother with magazines much lately anymore either…

If Bonanza ever really wants to rival eBay they are going to have to start advertising. How about Facebook?

I too have run into this when I am asked by others for guidance on how to sell on Ebay and mention to explore Bonanza also. Like the original poster, I include a “Thank you” actual direct email with a direct link to my Bonanza stuff and also a reminder slip with the Paypal invoice to check out my booth here (and also look at the whole Bonanza site of other sellers) but that has really only resulted in ONE repeat buyer crossover here over a period of MANY YEARS. Perhaps I have helped others if they looked at ALL the Bonanza stuff from other peoples booths rather than just mine directly.
I have not done a coupon thing as I am not too sure exactly how that works here.

Remember these tips:
- Use links to other sources to support your opinions
- Use examples where possible
- Put yourself in the inquirers shoes: what extra info would be helpful?
Should I post a comment or an answer?
You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?
Post an answer for:
- Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question
Post a comment for:
- "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
- When you would like the original poster to provide more details
- When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
