Amaretto Breedables Customer Connection

TGIF! Hope everyone had a great week with many wonderful bundles, kennels and nests! I have seen many beautiful ones posted in the groups! I asked in the Main group what I should write about today, and the community suggested “Tips for Breeders/Sellers”! So with the help of a few long time breeders/sellers I have compiled what I think is a very handy list of tips that can hopefully assist breeders of all kinds!
Breeders/Sellers are responsible for their 3rd party sales and purchases. Amaretto does not get involved in that aspect of the market so one of the main rules to always abide by is this:
Seller/Buyer Beware! If it sounds too good to be true it probably is!
(These tips are in no particular order, they’re all important in their own way)
• As with anything whether it’s RL or SL always remember Customer Service is a key to a successful business. Be nice to those repeat customers!
• SPAM, SPAM, SPAM! Not that kind of Spam, the advertising kind. You can join the Amaretto Advertising Group at any store location, but you can also check profiles and find other advertising groups that way.
• Remember to double and triple check that you actually set the breedable for sale. I know I’ve priced them and forgot to click that button myself too.
• If your breedable is out for sale, I know many who say it is a sales deterrent if the breedable is set to pet food. For sales purposes most find it valuable to have the animals on breedable food.
• Do NOT put your breedables out for sale if it is in a red ban lines area. People can’t buy things if they can’t get to them.
• Asking for pricing help usually does not get much help, the best suggestion you can get from anyone about pricing would be to go look around at different markets and see what things are selling for.
• It’s very important to be realistic with your prices though. Remember the market changes according to the time of the month. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t set your prices and stick to them it just means you should be willing to adjust. Never have a panic sale.
• Try to create a nice display at your store, one that will attract buyers, or at least make it easy for the buyers to see what you are selling.
Now if you’re selling your horse at auction here are the biggest things to remember:
• Do your notecard at home before you leave for the auction. Include the full UUID even if it’s a bundle get it from the description line while in edit mode.
• Set the price on the breedable at home before you leave and set it for a very high price so it can’t be swiped for 10L when you go to set it for sale.
• Ensure you are wearing the correct tag before you rez anything.
• Always check auction rules before you rent your panels as different auctions have different rules.
I hope these tips are helpful to all breeders and if you see someone in the groups asking for help, link this blog to them!
Until next time, Happy Breeding everyone!
