Title: How to increase sales?
Post by: sellmebulk on October 25, 2012, 05:45 pm
Hello there! Im looking into how to increase the volume of business on here. If any of you would not mind answering a few questions for marketing purposes. What are the main things you look for in a vendor? What do vendors usually do that upset you? or rather; what changes would you make to vendor practices? Im hoping by increasing my exposure on here some of you might want to try a gram or so and see how good the product is. If you check out my vendor profile and have any suggestions on what you would like to see please feel free to message me.

There is literally a ton of amazing quality bud coming out. I cannot wait for more exposure and increased traffic on here. Curing is underway so even more mature bud strains are coming available. I thought of a way around smashing it with a vac sealer and without compromising the effectiveness of the vac seal so the bud stays at its best quality. All products are at a minimum double sealed and protected. Shipping time to receive is 2-3 days from coast to coast. I use priority as a standard but will offer first class to provide a cheaper option.

Looking forward to everyone's opinions! Thanks.

I'll just get straight to the point from which I've learned from legitimate business practices:

 - Quality
 - Professionalism
 - Honesty
 - Shipping procedures & timing
 - Keywords

The list goes on but in my opinion prices don't matter if your honest and have top of the line product then people will pay the extra to have the best stuff, because it's bad enough that 90% of the market buffs there product so give the people what they want.

Keywords things that stick out to the eye: "Sales" "Free Shipping" the list goes on but don't use false advertisements everyone hates that when there's a catch.

Honesty and professionalism go hand in hand if you have product that you picked up and it's crap just be honest to the customer don't lie and say it's top notch that's one way to lose long term business but also to get a bad review and make sure all packages go out swiftly and professionally make sure when you package make sure your life depends on it..well you want the bitcoins right so make sure you package good so that they can get what they ordered and you can get your money.

Anyways that's my 10 cents I'm not the best on here but I'm just throwing out a bit of what I've learned aside from the road, if you need help message me.

My biggest pet peeve is when a vendor marks an item "in transit" when they haven't shipped the item yet.  I don't mind if they do it the same day and don't ship till the evening or even the next morning,  stuff happens, I get it.  The problem is some vendors will mark in transit on a Monday but don't mail it out till Thursday or even later.  Then they do this every single time.

I just appreciate honesty and straightforward communication.  Nothing is worse than knowing you are being lied to.  If you don't have enough in stock or are behind because you are swamped with orders just let people know.  I think they will appreciate the honesty and be more likely to work with you than if they were lied to and told "Oh the order is out, not sure what day, but you should get it soon...."

Free blow jobs.

These work if you're a cute dutch girl ;) @hollymolly, I'm lookin' at you! :D

Also, being active and helpful on the forums seems to have helped our business by leaps and bounds. People get to know you, your persona (somewhat), and can better judge if they should do business with you.

Lastly, making sure to politely ask every customer to leave feedback not only on SR but also on your review thread here on the forums. A lot of people browse these looking to make a better decision from who to purchase.

Limitless is wrong!!!

You CAN refuse a free blowjob.

If I asked him to suck my dick for free, would he?

If so, meet me in the second toilet on the left at Kings Cross station in London at 2am later.

Best bring a first aid kit also. You gonna choke man.

If you laughed out loud at the above and you sell something - you got to think about Red because I need more shit! Free shit! I'm not begging, just saying, who would not want a free gram of coke, E or hash and acid? A gram of liquid acid. I'd take it without thinking I would be tripping till I was a pensioner.

So, as for the original question about how to increase sales and what we want in a vendor.

I think we want quality, and for me, I could not care if it came 1 hr before auto finalize as long as it does arrive! People who use drugs should keep some in case they have unexpected visitors. Guests, not police.

I also like to think that if we buy more than 5 times off a vendor they might treat us. A little bit extra always keeps a customer happy but not if its coke or something expensive. With that, we want quality and always a gram if we order gram! Not 0.8! Not 0.9! Just 1 gram but we would not complain if it was 1.1 ;)

Also, I want safe packaging. Smell proof. Double or treble vac seal. First class post. Who the fuck would send even a gram of hash second class?

I want no postage fees. Why complicate things? Vendors can add on that price. Then we don't have to go back because we never put down 0 btc for postage!! That is annoying. And people who charge 0.5 btc for first class UK are  taking the piss.

I want no vendors who keep messaging! I hate that shit. I do want a vendor who will message me when I buy a bit off them. Just a thanks, hope your doing OK message. One message a year is fine! Or if the vendor is very busy - no message is cool as long as its quality, it arrives and so on.

Also, I want any shit bought for Christmas to be wrapped in some paper with Santa and Reindeer. I want mistletoe also. This lets you kiss ANY women. So, give it up.

I'd ask for a blowjob, but I got a wife and she would chop off my dick to be plain speaking.

I can suck my own but lets not digress.

 ;)

Can Limitless?

Suck his own?

Or if she is a chick, can she go down on her own?

It is easier for men. (think)

 ;D

(second laugh - send me kilko of coke)
