I'm new to bonanza and would like to know how to increase traffic.

I’ve started selling my plushies on different sites and they seem to be doing well. The bonanza platform seems to be really sophisticated, but I have received no traffic at all after about a week. What am I doing wrong?

Your stuffed animals are creative and cute! Your listings look nice, but I think your profile page could use some more information. Your “About Me” is very short, and doesn’t really give much background about you. Plus, you don’t have any reviews. Have you sold on eBay? If so, you can import your feedback from there.

The other big thing is… how are you advertising your items through Bonanza? At the very least, I’d recommend moving up to the Basic level at the 9% rate. This will get your items on to Google Shopping. It’s where we see the majority of our traffic coming from. You might also want to try promoting your Bonanza booth through social media channels. Generating traffic can take time, too.

Good luck!

Thanks for the feedback. I started selling on Etsy 2 days ago and have 4 sales and over 1300 views so far. I was hoping to stay away from paid advertising as I haven’t had much luck with Google Ads. I will definitely update my ‘About Me’ page to include more information. Thanks a lot for the tips!

If you decide to advertise via Google shopping, you’ll want to remove the hyphens from your titles as it is against Google shopping’s rules.

Best of luck to you. Your stuffed animals are adorable.

Just a [URL removed] your listings state the animals were made in the USA, but on Amazon, they say made in China? You said you sell on Etsy. Do you make these, or sell something different there? If so, add that to your description. Honestly, I sell on a couple venues and Bonanza is the slowest. [URL removed] I have a few sales a month here but on ebay I have about 200-250. I have heard promoting works, but I am not a social media type, so that may be part of my reason. I too would love more sales here. It seems to be a nicer place to sell.
