Off to save the noobs!
Phew, what a long day!
If you need details on any of the outfits, check out my flickr.
Are you seeing the number of different vendors in 50L fridays starting to trend down? I know there is a lot of talk in gor that the weekly sales is hurting businesses on this side of the grid.
I don’t think so, to me it seems like they are upping their game.
I think the fact that the 50L sale and similar sales started around the same time the economy went caput in rl, and MAYBE that has something to do with sales hurting.
My suggestions:
Don’t recolor current items: If people catch wind that is what you are doing, they will wait until you put what they want on sale.
Put out other full price new items with your sale item… if your shits worth it, people will buy it.
The idea of a sale in rl is to attract people in with cheap shit, and get them to sniff around in your full price garb. I really don’t understand why that doesn’t translate to designers in SL… they look at it as hey I’m being so friggin nice and giving you something cheap, I’ll do what I want with it.
Blah, bad customer service = why sales suffer.
I can say on numerous occasion I’ve bought something on sale, and been like fuck this is great and went back to deposit my paycheck into their store. As well as vice-versa, they put out a shitty sale/hunt item and I never went back.
If stores look at it as an opportunity to give people a taste of their product, rather than a way to increase income. The light bulb just MIGHT go off.
What Penelope said.
I don’t always have tons of money, so I tend to hit up sales. But if I really like an item, I’ll go back and check out what else is for purchase, and even if I don’t buy more THAT DAY I keep lists of places that I like for when I have the money to spend.
Places that give away shitty gifts or shitty sale items will rarely to never make it on those lists.
Not to mention that if I like a place, I’ll remember and refer people with deeper pockets looking to shop to’em. xD
/me rips off her shirt and screams into the sky: “LAMMMBBBB!!!!!”
What I dislike about the sales and I don’t buy everything at any of these sales that are almost everyday is..1) don’t regurgitate to me something you showed last week and the week before. I am not an idiot, I can tell. 2) Don’t put out something that you couldn’t GIVE away and expect us all to buy it in some kind of sale frenzy – in other words if it’s not good work, don’t bother. 3) Don’t UNDER give… Like I have seen some offerings that were worth a LOT more than the sale price but I also have seen some offerings that I felt were worth a LOT less than the sale price. That just ticks me off.
I do like the trend towards having a blog for the sale or like with 60l weekends, a whole gallery that I can look at and pick and choose. I almost always buy a few things if I can see pictures without sitting there for ten years to see everything.
I have a friend who runs a shop, she goes by the theory of putting a good product out for a low price on a regular basis and she is doing pretty good for only being open a few months. I don’t understand store owners who don’t understand this is the business model we need especially in these economic times. (I also don’t understand shoppers who seem to think a higher price adds some sort of mystical cachet to the item.)
