Sales of anything in SL are cyclical ane erratic. Sometimes it is great, sometimes it sucks.

Check your classified ads, and meke sure they still exist. Ads that were set to auto-renew have been mysteriously vanishing, getting deleted (and sometimes charged for at the same time!) rather than being renewed. If your ads evaporate, so might your sales.

Hi Saur!

I'm sorry business has slowed down for you. With the plethora of stores in SL for customers to choose from, you may want to look at how you're marketing your shops.

I'm not sure what you've done in terms of advertising, but here are a few ideas to consider:
- Advertise in some magazines
- Create a group to inform them of new items, sales, etc...
- Offer high quality freebies and offer them at newbie friendly places like the Free Dove
- When you open a new store or introduce a new line of products hold an event

I took a look at your website and you do a great job of showing your items, and they are very fun and look to be well constructed. However, you may want to take a look at the spelling in your ads and displays. Some of it is difficult to read.

ETA: I checked your profile and I don't see anything in your picks or in classifieds about your store :(

Best wishes,
