How are your ecrater stores going?

[H. Morris]

Hi y'all how is it going for you with your online sales?
I'm on 2 different sites one is free and one I pay to sell. It is pretty slow all over for me. I'm just wondering how everyone else is doing and thought if we share suggestions we might be able to boost each others stores?

My ecrater store is doing very well, I only do the one site, its hard enough to market the one site let alone 2 or 3. I have steadily increased my sales over the last few months and am very happy with the results I am having right now.

I really can't complain as my store is doing pretty well. However it is a fairly new store & I've been working very hard at promoting it & so far I am happy with the results I'm getting. I do believe with my results so far that if I keep working as hard as I have been my store will do even better.

Hope your store is also doing well & wishing you many sales!

It sounds like you're doing everything you can. Just keep it up! Do you're research, back linking & all that other fun stuff & you'll do fine. It just takes time so hang in there & don't get discouraged.

I'm sure I could do better, but I'm learning and doing what I can to research and figure out what's what. Sales are few and far between, but I'm only at the one store now so maybe things will pick up as soon as I tie up those last few ends.

Hi everyone,
Is everyone just using free links posted around the net? Has anyone tried advertising with google words or any other pay advertising? I know my store is young on crater and i've gotten about 1500 lookers in the 1 month i've started but I'd like to get some buyers too.

My store has been doing real well for the past few weeks. December sales have really been picking up. I've had several emails asking me about the eCRATER site. They have been real excited about the stores and the buy it now instead of going through an auction.

Hey everyone,
I just discovered google base this morning. You might want to try it. It's free and you can direct customers to your store items directly from google searches. I only listed a small portion of my items just to give people a store teaser.

I have had a surprisingly good December. Surprising because I sell only vintage items and generally December is not my best month. I've always believed people shy away from giving used items as gifts. January on the other hand is usually my best month as people are buying for themselves with Christmas checks and bonuses.

I really expected with the economy so bad, my non essential stores would be quite quiet but I had sales in all 5 and my thelivesandlovesofmaggiethecat thrived. Quite a few sales were names I recognized from earlier sales.

That is really good! Repeat Customers...That's great!!! Sound's like you're doing all the right thing's! Congrats & keep up the good work! Wishing you many more sales!

This is great that people are doing better than expected, I have also had better sales this year than last. I think that people are realizing that new isnt always better. Plus if we dont collect these rare and delightful items from our pasts who will carry down the craftsmanship and love for these beauts?

Hmm well I just started on eCrater 3-4 days ago. Stll no sales but im not down just yet. Give it some time. I just hope in time I will start generating a few sales. I do need to post more of a variety of inventory. Its a taking awhile!

It takes time and patience, lots of listing and networking. You will get there, good luck.
