Membership plans give you access to tools to market your booth…..and really if the booth is not established yet then the it is too soon for the extra (SEO, in google shopping, built up a reputation to get higher search rankings (a few weeks won’t do that)…after all your bonz booth is competing with amazon and ebay…so if you have not established your booth as a competitor then yes, your sales on the other places will always out rank any possibility of sales here….Memberships are a great way to grow once your booth is ready to move to the next step and truthfully, many do just fine without them

Now if you were buying more advertising (turbo traffic) or opt for higher fvf with extra advertising…then I would be a bit more bummed out with just the 3 sales…

Essentially 3 sales about what you get if you do not use your tools, and do not do a little self promotion…

Membership plans do not promote for you….(except for the 7 days of turbo traffic)

NOW I JUST ADDED A BONANZA WEB STORE- ANOTHER $25 SO I’M IN IT FOR $100 SO FAR FOR 3 ITEMS. HMMMM……….

I did not join any plans because I was not sure if Bonanza would work for me. I thought there plans were high for what you get compared to other places.

However I would think if you can get 26 items sold on Amazon in 10 days and only 3 on Bonanza then I would stick to Amazon. You did not say how much it cost you to sell on Amazon for that same period of time.

You are so right. Better values at other places.

I AM NOT AFRAID TO MAKE MONEY BY SPENDING MONEY WITH AMAZON, BE REAL…..AND I WILL NOT LEAVE AMAZON. I WANT NEW PLATFORMS THAT WORK. WITH BONANZA….I’M NOT SO SURE. I’M IN IT FOR A YEAR’S COMMITMENT TO “ESTABLISH” MY BOOTH. I HOPE FOR THE BEST BUT WITH LOTS OF EXPERIENCE IN THIS, I’M PESSIMISTIC.

Essentially 3 sales about what you get if you do not use your tools, and do a little self promotion…?
WHAT DOES BONANZA DO? I GUESS I AM SPOILED WITH EBAY AND AMAZON WHO PRODUCED IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE THEY GOT PEOPLE TO LOOK AND BUY. WHAT DOES BONANZA DO?

originally bonz was set up to give sellers another option without the high fees and the ‘bull’. originally sellers did everything..their own feeds, their promotions and everything…bonz was just a place to put the items on the internet..

CindyBear says: May 07, 2016

they do the feeds/set up the ads according to what we select….we do the rest…

I went with just the web store and directed a custom domain . I push my sales through google feed and then use physical marketing which i send with every package , hoping they sign up for email or become a repeat customer to my website directly . I think the tools you have access to in the paid membership do not yet justify the price tag . If they would give a reduced final value or reduces percentage on a feed I feel they would have a lot more paid memberships .

How is everyone doing with your sales on Bonanza? I’ve been on for a week and have no sales? I am questioning if the site is good to sell your items? I have a ton of views but, no sales? I would like sellers feedback on how they are doing…. Thanks!

I made several sales right at first and then nothing. I don’t know why it is this way. I promote my booth on and off of the web. I sell on ebay just fine.

Not one sale since Sept. 8th, 2015.

StarletVintageJewels says: May 08, 2016

Stopped getting views May 2d and get a lot of “Whoops. There was an error.” when I click on Starlet Vintage Jewels at Bonanza – Jewelry & Watches, Sets, on Google. Add Superior promotions to see what would happen. Nothing happened, still no views. Not very happy right now.

I am just realizing I never signed up for Advertising, so have done that. Now, I want to go from Gold level back to Basic (no upfront fees) and can’t figure out how to do that. Help?
