If you have a web store somewhere else / it may be interesting to evaluate the web store as the big difference is all sku’s are shared with your booth … still learning about Bonanza as we are new here … but this place beats the heck out of Rakuten (prior Buy.com) / still not sure about conversions but this place looks great so far!

keep your booth but am not so sure about the web-store. the verdict is still out.

For the most part a stand alone webstore can take up to a year to start paying for itself, simply because you will need to establish your site, advertise, etc on your own. These stores being linked to a your bonz booth, I do not know how they will behave. If you are not ready to make the commitment that it takes to run a stand alone store at this time, it may not be what you are looking for.

I have been wondering the same thing. .. I’m an Etsy seller mostly, but had heard good things about Bonanza. ..
I’ve been disappointed so far …maybe it’s worth the investment to open a booth, but then again it could be a complete waste!

What’s the best way to drive traffic to your site? Do you guys write a blog, tweet incessantly, or use Google AdWords?

What about linking your site to WordPress?
arrgh….just a tiny bit frustrated at the moment. ..

Any new comments. I am thinking about opening a webstore as a couple of my wholesalers will no longer sell to me unless I get one. They want to do away with all their dealers that are selling on ebay,etc.
