Can’t add any more ideas since the posters above gave you excellent advice. Just want to say welcome!

First, you’ll want to change from all caps in your titles and descriptions to lowercase since it is against Google shopping’s rules to use all caps. You can have the first letter of each word done in uppercase though.

Next, have you signed your booth up for Google Shopping (also known as Google product search)? If you go to the upper left corner of this screen and hover your mouse over Sell on Bonanza, look in the drop down for Advertise items and click on that. Once on that page you can opt in to having your listings show up in Google shopping.

Before opting in though, you will want to make sure and have your attributes set right for your listings in order to be compliant with Google shopping’s requirements.

Here is a link on Bonanza to help explain on attributes plus there is some other info that you might find helpful. You’ll notice that the first heading is for Attributes and that further on down the page is a heading for Frequently asked questions about sending items to Google. [URL removed]

The above will get you going in the right direction and once done, your listings will have a better chance of being seen. :) Most people have more questions after reading up on attributes, so this will be normal.

Aside from Google shopping and attributes, you can promote your listings through Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ and also it is a good idea for you to have a blog for your booth. I use www.blogspot.com

First of all, welcome!

You seem to have filled your booth with some really lovely things.

I’m noticing when looking at them that you don’t have a whole lot for description, aside from repeating the title. The more you can tell the buyer about the product, and the more you can describe it in detail, the more likely they are to take a longer and more serious look at it.

As far as being seen, here are some [URL removed]

1) Use social media – Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest – to get your products seen and your booth more visible.

2) Participate in some of the games we have on here – You Tag, You Are Tagged – etc. It’s a great way to become a part of the Bonanza community, as well as making your products more visible.

3) If you’re not yet participating in Google Advertising, it’s a great tool to bring people to your store. You don’t pay the higher percentage unless the product sells. In the time I’ve been doing it, I have yet to be charged the full percentage. Bonanza is really pretty good about keeping your costs down as much as possible, as well as their [URL removed] I wouldn’t sign up for it, though, until you’ve fleshed out your descriptions a bit. Also, any titles that are in all caps need to be changed to upper and lower case. Google doesn’t permit all caps to be used.

4) Finally, try to be patient. Unlike the bigger, better known sites, it takes awhile to get going on Bonanza.

I see your items are in google products so you have opted for advertising…

You do need some descriptions

GREAT STUNNING ANGELS BIG FAIRY CAMEO PENDANT NECKLACE is not a description

What is the size, length, width..material, the metal as well as the cameo

Is is pendant only or is there a chain?

What is length of chain?

What color is it?

this is a very nice pendant and I was going to tweet for you, but without any information, that would not be fair to a prospective buyer

Hi, Welcome to Bonanza.

Your new booth should be promoted like a brand new website to build up your brand and increase references for you in Google.

Optimize your booth and listing as advised above. Add more details to your descriptions using the keywords that people may search for online.

1. Facebook business page – create a fan page about your booth and share information about your items and links back to your booth.
Add the Bonanza items store tab too.

2. Pinterest – this is the fastest way to create back links and reach out to potential customers.

3. Blog – create a blog about your booth and update it often with new items and information, with links back to your booth.
The best blogging sites are WordPress, Blogger and Jux.com

4. Search Engine Submission – new websites take time to show up in google.
You can help the process by submitting your booth url link manually, using sites like submitexpress.com or search online for Free submission sites.

Ping – you can also alert the servers and Google bots to come and take a look at your website. This should be done often when you have booth changes. Try mass-ping.com

5. Twitter – is a good way to promote your items. It does take time to build up followers and get the tweets into Google search.

6. Google Plus – create a business page. Your booth items now have a Google Plus +1 vote button, this helps to promote your items on Google Plus.

7. Be active in your booth – this will give you extra exposure on Bonanza.

8. Coupons and promotions – you will also be featured on the Bonanza discounts section.

Good Luck with your new booth :)
