a little concerned


I do like the hollow, I've made some really nice friends here.........but about the auction site, now how do we get more members??

I'm looking at the front page.......there's over a 1000 items listed and only 14 of them have bids emoticon that doesn't look good emoticon

I really hate to move my items to another auction site, but honestly, the purpose of listing items for sale, is to sale them, no???

What can we do?

Re: a little concerned


We are a little more than year old. At this point, we are doing excellent for a young site. Having over 1000 items with more than 60 users is a great accomplishment, especially considering we just went through a major change.

To be honest there is no need to be concerned. Several sites, including auction sites, go down within the first year. I am very proud of the steady growth that OA and OH has shown.

Re: a little concerned


I agree with you Zonipa, this site is doing well..........I was just asking what can we do to get the member base up ....... cuz it is sorta unrealistic to think we can sell 1000 items to 60 people???

I was just asking what can we do.

Re: a little concerned


We had over 200 members when the old site went down. That is amazing considering how old the site was. Just give it some time. We will rebuild our member base again emoticon

Now..in the meantime...

Advertise!
Use your emails, myspace, etc.. I use my ebay store for advertising OA. I send out fliers with each package, and I send out free samples to several local and national events. Pagan Packs is a great way to get your store/name known. List your stores on WitchVox and other similar sites. OA is already listed on there (we are sponsors), but each member with a store can add their link as well. 'Word of mouth' is an excellent way to start... it's free and the news tends to spread fast emoticon

Re: a little concerned


advertise and have a good variety of items if you can without over extending yourself...
sometimes the strangest stuff sells the best!

Tav, your right up there in the top sellers box...that's pretty good emoticon

That's great advice! I have a few other items that I make that I haven't added.

When I left the auction site a few minutes ago, we had 1200 listings. I believe that is a goal we couldn't seem to reach on the other site.

I think if everyone would check their closed auctions, you will probably find that you have things there you can relist rather quickly.

Now, we need buyers!!
