Advice on Sales!!

Yes I read it ..thk you for this review and also thank you for your purchase at the store !


Also about the question if I need to love RL fashion to be a good SL designer ..hmm .. that make me smile ... Speaking of me, my RL job is far far far away fashion (scientific research)... the only fashion i saw is when shopping time. I have to agree that I look a bit more at all the RL and SL fashion style actually to have idea for new releases but I,m not a RL fashion-a-holic for sure. Fashion is not boring me but of course, I,m not a fashion lover.
Also, RL designer and SL designer are really not the same job. A SL Designer is a photoshop lover ... A RL Designer is a professionnal dressmaker ... really not the same thing.
I love creating in SL, for me it's SL fashion, for other is building or something else but I will never create fashion in RL.

About the challenge, hmmm, sorry, I will not participate ... creation is only when inspiration and fun are coming and actually nothing at all ...

Buck up hun- it will come Look at it as a bit of serendipitous magic- the new shop is bound to be even greater! I spent all day today rebuilding my main store too- now it doesn't look like a flea market- and once i get the ad boards done it =will look awesome and i will be ready for the White Glove review!

Well it is very hot indeed- maybe we can get mickey to model my offering? I don't think I can call it for the challenge since I actually did it last month just not released.

They're black, actually

Hi, all. Been a bit quiet over here, mainly due to being back at work this week after a fortnight off and all the associated exhaustions of having to pick up where someone else left off and figure out where the *hell* you are in your schedule.

The good news is: I'm now a landowner. Last night my partner and I bought the land that our little mini-mall is on, so tomorrow (ugh, actually today; 4:30am and I've been up for half an hour already) I'll be back to creating stuff again. I'm planning some basic starter home packages this week, for those renting/buying their first plot of land, although knowing me and my inspiration that'll probably change the moment the first prim is rezzed...

Ok i took up the challenge (I shouldnt have... 4 am is not a good time to go to bed)

Anyway I dropped a copy to the in world group for you all tosee for yourselves.

I would love your opinions on it before I set it up for sale. The final version willhave a teture change ribbon though, which I am still sorting out

For those who get discouraged.... i sincerely believe everything happens for a reason. And that the only way to fail is to quit.

so true Jojo. The trick is picking yourself up, dusting yourself off and going forward bigger and better then ever. Most of the time you realise its was a blessing in disguise. Keep your chin up

Thanks Now that I've pulled it out of my closet again, I want to seek places to wear it more.

Wowza!!! Way cool! And although I have no doubt that would sell like hotcakes...a cool idea to keep it for a "select audience."

Well done

Do you have a link to your SLex listings (and is the new item on it)? Wanna see!!!

(And the non-Hurricane Fay is keeping me busy recovering from minor power outages to be able to get much in world travel done atm...but I'm headed your way soon!)

Ouch! I feel for you and Relekra. I was all excited about having my own land to put my shop on with more prims...then got busy with a couple other of my SL ventures and my poor shell of a store still sits.

I need to kick my butt and get it going again, so I understand the lack of motivation thing (plus I'm a major procrastinator).

I look forward to seeing your shop when it's back up and running...and I *will* get mine up.

/me keeps repeating that until it happens

Gratz, Skell! That's exciting!!!

Congrats Skell on the land holding

Guys I worked hard today and partied as well - i am off to bed-

Talking earlier I realized I have gotten so much from what we have shared here- my building looks pretty darn decent and i built it myself. My ad boards are coming along nicely though slowly and the dresses them selves are working out better each time.

Every thing's coming up roses-
Night all- be well.

whew, how do ppl do it?

I thought it was hard sending out just to my group and fashcon

now I am trying to send a notice to fashcon, 2 freebie groups, my own subscribe o matic group, list it on my blog, and put it on here in the new products....

not to mention get it on slex and onrez....

holy crap when will we find the time to make anything LOL
I swear it takes longer to do all the marketing than it does creating it

Rha copy and paste is your friend for all the groups especially. I sendthe same notice to my group, the freebies groups etc if i have freebie. Saves a LOT of time. So notices only take me like 3 minutes

For new items take a bit of your blog post and put it as your notice to your group about new items etc

heh that is basically what I did

the hardest part of new groups is not being able to send your own notice

and trying to find an online officer is annoying (either go back and forth looking for an officer in those online, or if you have a list of officer's copy paste till you find one)

that part of groups is not quick and easy

Guys this from a thread about annoying greeters- I keep thinking it is an exhortation to Annoy greeters but no

Lol too many posts to respond to at once!!

Czari, thanks hehe, it actually happened twice, the first time I laughed and bought my own land to rebuild on so no accidents could happen. Then my partner talked me into setting up a satellite on his land, so I worked all weekend on it, got all done and went to a club to relax a bit. My partner decided to stay behind for a minute, and decided to set the land to my group....bam auto return (cause I had to use his group to place everything lol)...I was like...what just happened 'Zep has logged out'. It was pretty funny a few days later but right then logging was the smartest thing he could have done haha!

Stuff happens, and we move on, and he has been forgiven (after paying penance of a new pair of boots for yours truly!)

Ama, I saw that thread, I am teetering on the verge of removing my greeter...but it only greets once per AV then shuts up....I dunno maybe a welcome mat is better.

Grats Skell!

WOOO HOOO

I posted for the first time ever in the new products bit of this forum. Soemthing I had never done before but was suggested by someone in this thread, actually a few of you I think.

I also put out a freebie in my mainstore, a limited edition of the new stuff I just did which will ever be sold Well tis selling like hot cakes and people are shopping in my store too *does happy dance*

I have generated more traffic from using the 'new products' forum than I have from any other source ever. Just keep an eye on the number of views and you will see what I mean. At least you know someone is seeing your stuff The last time I put something up, someone was at my store buying it in like 5 minutes!

Oh oh i want that to happen *giggles*

Well any and all exposure is good right?? The more people who know about my little store the more people might go ooh i like that

I've inadvertently gotten a greeter- all it says is something like hello visitors to Talon Faire- don't much like it- need to see what i can do to change script verbiage- but it counts visitors then emails me list of peeps- not sure i will do anything with that list- it may be annoying- but at least it is data...

Been meaning to mention I found a little market area that offers free stall space.
It's called Big Dog Free Market.
All you have to do is join the group, which is free, then rez your stuff in a stall. There's a 25 prim limit, and you'll have to pay group liabilities, but that's only been a couple of L$ a week so far. Stuff also gets returned either once or twice a month too. There's a donation box near where you land, along with a sign to click that has the full rules and contacts in a notecard. Traffic isn't much (as yet), but that could get better with a few nice stalls set up. Might be wise to be quick if you fancy one, there were three spare stalls when I just looked.
Might as well grab some free exposure

Ok, just added a logo to these windows, hopefully folks won't try walk through now. Not 100% sure if it's not logo overkill now, so opinions would be appreciated, only when u have a spare min though
