Hello,
My shop has been open for about three weeks, I was doing the basic 9% advertisement but
so far, I have only gained just one view. Is this normal?

Bonanza is a fantastic place to sell, but there is a tradeoff, which is lower traffic than some of the more well known sites like eBay or Amazon. Because of this, each seller needs to continually promote their booth as often as possible, use any social media you have accounts on, etc. It is totally free to list & you can list as many items as you want, with a basic booth, & pay nothing until an item sells. Also be sure to collect your 10 daily tokens, when you have 500 they can get you discounts on your selling fees, so the days you don’t get sales, you can still build up these points for later when you do, it takes literally 5 seconds, go to Account Dashboard & select Rewards. Some Bonanza members choose to pay for various levels of membership, which provide some advertising, but there is no guarantee of sales with it. If you have more items to list it can’t hurt to add more items, the more you list the better your chances for views & sales, continually add more at your own pace. Another nice thing is there is no maintenance, you never need to relist items, renew, edit, no selling fees, any of that, once you post a listing it will stay there until it sells. Do you have a Facebook page for this shop? Have you shared a link to it on your page & on sites like Twitter? main thing is to constantly promote. Best of luck to you!

To get your items seen through the advertising venues they have to comply with the sites rules, such as google shopping. Check and see if your items are being excepted by google. For instance, things like free shipping in title are not allowed. Also duplicate items are not allowed, so make sure your title are different for items that are similar

I feel your pain. I have been on here well over a month and have not had one sale. I started an eBay site last week and within days had three sales. I promote this booth WAY more than I promote on eBay through Facebook and Twitter and my blog site, and all of my items show up in Google shopping, plus I have the best prices according to Google, eBay and even here but still not one Bonanza sale. It is very frustrating.

I have been here a few months and still no sales, but my views seem to slowly increase. Also, I dont promote my booth much and plan to increase that.
So still hoping for a sale.

You can also use the “Promote Booth” specials run by various members to have them send your items to social media sites – but it is also a good time to stock up on more items so when customers visit they view all of your items.

Depending on what you sell. I went to 13% Google ad fees about 5 days ago. I am now showing up in Google shopping and views are a LOT BETTER! It is worth 13%. Bonanza is just slow. I am not sure why. I love how easy it is to list here. As you can see if you look, I have not sold anything yet, but for some reason ecommerce has been slow this month all over. Good luck! :)
