hi everyone….
i’ve been on bonanza 5 weeks, started with the booth then june 5 went with the webstore.
I started out with 5 products….and have added 5-6 a day since. I’m now at 41 products.
I HAVE YET TO MAKE A SALE!!!!
I’ve changed my prices, upped my advertising, went to facebook, made a page for www.ufoundithere.ca spent $125 us on facebook advertising, lowered my prices again, and now today still no sales.
traffic to the webstore is 561 views, and the booth is 29.
as you probably guessed i’m more than frustrated!!!
any help/ ideas ???

Yes, 5 weeks is hardly enough time to get established on bonanza. However, everyplace i think is slow right now, i sell on ebay also, and actually, the past couple of months, i have sold more on bonanza! Go figure! It just depends on who is looking for what, and where they are looking.

In my opinion..should have not gone to webstore until the booth was established…(again my opinion, to see if things will work out)
as to sales…I have been here since 2009 and had my own store (another site, not bonz for 3 years) and since google’s update in May, I have not seen a tank in sales this bad, ever..this is the worst…and truthfully, google is killing the small sellers
I would go to just a free booth and keep building a google presence, because right now that is all that is bringing in sales.
And unlike ebay/amazon, 5 weeks is barely enough time to get an independent store up and running (my stand alone took close to a year to establish a strong enough google presence to compete)

I have been here since 2011, 45 sales on Bonanza so far, the best sale i have here so far is August 2015 where i sold 8 items in a month. I guess since its free to list, just list as many as you want, you won’t know when buyer will be coming here for the product you are selling.

ok…. as for the webstore, I was going to create a website from scratch anyways…before i found bonanza. $25.00 month is peanuts compared to $300-$800 I was quoted.
part of my business plan is to find hard to find items for people, hence the need to advertise. i’m just saddened by the lack of sales per views.
I’ve had some success with that part of the business…. 7 for 7 so far!!!

I have to agree that since google made changes, my sales have dropped….you could say flat lined. Yes, it’s definitely killing the small seller. I may close the booth.

Google does not take “free” as seriously for booths or sites as it does for something you pay for.
