Turning bonanza booth into my main sales channel

Well, finally it happened. I’m out of eBay now. Want to turn my Bonanza booth into something worthy. I have pretty slow sales of few items per month, but I really didn’t do anything to promote my Bonanza booth. Now I want to put a lot more effort into it, and hopefully boost sales to some acceptable level. I believe it can be done.

What would you, successful Bonanzlers, suggest to be the most efficient way to draw customers, given that my items are for pretty much professionals only, and almost all of them are on eBay and partially on Amazon?

You mean through replying to PayPal transaction email? Wouldn’t it be pushy? I can’t send through eBay, because I’m out. It blocks any reference to another website anyway.

Welcome to Bonanza (Full time). I stopped using that other site many years ago as the fees and customer service were just ridiculous. With this site you do have to put much more time into it to bring the customers to you, I myself use Pinterest, Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, Stumbleupon, plus I run a few other shops online that when they get a sale I include a little thank you note that invites them to my main location here. I try to add new items daily to keep fresh stock for both new customers to see plus for the ones that check back often. Maybe run a little sale to get the word out as well. Wish you the best!

Actually, I’m here since 2014, have had some sales, nothing exciting. But I also never put any effort into it, because my products are mostly for professional users. The question is how to make promotion from scratch, as with that other website I never had to do anything – they made promotion by

themselves. Here I don’t get how and where to start, whether a gold membership gives a boost, or to focus on something else?
