Although Bonanza has been around for about 10 years, this site is not known near as much as Etsy. Bonanza is similar to Etsy in that sellers have to do the advertising & promoting to be seen and to bring traffic to the site.

You probably should buy some advertising from Bonanza—-like at least the 9% Google Shopping instead of the Basic 3 1/2% Google Shopping. It will get you some views and maybe some sales. You also can pay people to promote your shop.

Hi. I’m thinking that it would be a good idea to include the word bath in your titles for your towels. You’ve got some style towels that I have never seen before (meant as a compliment, of course). By reading the title and it saying towel without bath, I just would not think it is a bath towel unless I clicked on the listings.

Also, some of your listings say beach in the description, so putting beach in the title is good.

When a shopper on Bonanza makes a search, our words in our descriptions are not searched.

In getting rid of the forward slashes in your titles, you’ll be able to put in an extra keyword. Try not to be too attached to forward slashes, etc. If a keyword will get you a sale over a forward slash, then that is great and you’ll be glad that you did.

Price a little lower here and put a little note in with your fee-bay sales saying you have lower prices in your Bonanza booth or have a coupon or discount offer and mention that.

I don’t do social networking for a variety of reasons but I do make decent sales on fee-bay. Now with their spring update, high always-increasing fees, the rampant buyer fraud/rip-offs, the forced free return shipping etc., I’m going to go from a basic store to the new one they’re offering with 100 listings. Meanwhile, while I prepare for that I made up a little note I’m inserting with each sale saying, “Due to increasing costs and rampant buyer fraud on eBay, Mayda Mart has moved much of its inventory to Bonanza. The eBay shop will remain, but with far fewer items. Please consider coming over to my Bonanza booth [insert link]. Thank you!”

I made a template that prints 8 slips on one sheet of paper and I can print as I need them so it isn’t costly at all and who knows, maybe some will migrate on over here. This isn’t a “build it and they will come” marketplace – we have to put some effort into it. I don’t know if this is going to help, but it sure can’t hurt!

Hello again everybody. Ive been making some changes and Will be brilliant if you could tell me if is looking better.

Still no sales for us in bonanza dont get it :(
