Something Is Working!

I haven't run a sale in my store for nearly a week. I haven't listed anything new in my store for nearly a week. I have had pitiful sales for nearly a week.

What a coincidence.

Last night, I began running a 50% off most clothing sale. Last night, I began listing a bunch. Last night, I began selling a bunch.

What a coincidence.

Since last night, I have listed 36 new items. Since last night, I have sold 22 items. Half of those were shoe cream, but that is still a lot of "real" sales.

Coincidence? Perhaps not....

**********

My favorite quick sale? I listed a Friends 2B Made doll this afternoon (from the makers of Build a Bear), and 5 or 6 of her outfits. Within an hour, I sold the doll and 2 outfits for a total of $62! Remember, I paid $100 for the ENTIRE lot! I've made back two-thirds of that with just those couple sales! That's a real weight off my shoulders, because I wasn't convinced I had made the right decision on those.

  2. They were all Build a Bear outfits, which take roughly 3 minutes each. It was a pretty streamlined process :)

  3. Yay you. I also had several sales yesterday after many days of nothing. We just have to hang in there, a huge percentage of success is attributable to perseverance.
