Vendoring Tips
Posted: Mon Aug 22, 2011 2:06 am
Hey guys & gals, imagine you are a customer for a moment. You are looking for something and you want to find it as fast as possible. You don't care much about price as long as it's fair, so you are running from shop to shop looking for this item.
Now imagine your vendor setup. How long does it take this customer to find the item they want? Are your areas labeled properly? Do you have some kind of item marker to designate item areas? Are the items your selling easily accessible? Can customers click through your vendor organization and find it quickly? How many times do they have to click to find it, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 times???
If someone opens your vendor and see's what they want right away they're more likely to buy it. If they stick around to click inside a second bag, they'll probably still be interested. If they have to click 3 or 4 times to find an item chances are they've already moved onto another shop.
If you look at the most successful vendors in our shops or on UOSA in general they have their items in main vendor bag area, or in one of the first bags underneath (2 clicks max) these are the guys/gals who sell the most items. Chances are if you have items laid in 3 or 4+ levels deep this is too much and you're losing sales.
Just my opinion, feel free to chime in here guildies/otherwise.
