I joined Bonanza June 2016, and as of to-day, there is hardly any views. I just wondered what the problems with my booth. Can anyone kindly give me your opinions as to how to increase booth activity?
I am also with another marketplace. There, I have views and sales, but only a few views and no sales.

The reason could be that you have your items marked up much higher on Bonanza than you do Etsy. So if someone see’s one of your items at etsy for $98 & $11 ship why would they purchase the same item from Bonanza when you have it listed here for $125 & $15 shipping??

I would suggest that three things might [URL removed]
1) Your listing titles may not be looked upon favorably by Google Shopping. Remove any words that are unnecessary in describing the item. Also, make sure that your listings actually state what the item is. For instance, your item “An Art Deco Triple Layered Natural Smoky Quartz with Carved Mother of Pearl Rose” — is this a necklace, bracelet, earrings, etc. Sure, I can tell once I view the entire listing, but Google Shopping wants a better title.
2) Are you paying for at least 9% commission rate (advertising rate) with Bonanza. Otherwise, your items won’t appear in Google Shopping. Since most Bonanza buyers come from Google Shopping, using the 9% advertising rate (at a minimum) is almost a necessity.
3) Check into Google Shopping requirements when it comes to items like yours (I assume handmade jewelry). “Regular” items require you to have product identifiers (UPC, EAN, ISBN, etc.) and/or brand or MPN (manufacturer part number) in your listing to show up in Google Shopping. There may be a way to add your type of items so that you can get Google Shopping exposure (see (2) above).
([URL removed] is the price discrepancy noted by misskeech due to USD/CAD currency conversion?)

I have the same problem. Even selecting “Elite” plan for ads, there are no visitors.

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?
