Do you have more variety to add? And do you have your booth set up to go to Google shopping?

Here’s how to [URL removed]
Upper left corner under Selling, select Booth settings from the drop down.
The click Yes to add your item to Google shopping and then save all your changes.

It’s fair to add that sales on Bonanza can be slow but more variety does help here on Bonanza in my opinion. I think variety is more important rather than just the logic of having more inventory in hopes of selling more. So tread carefully in this area. If sellers get desperate and buy more inventory they just might end up with inventory that is not sellable or in demand.

It’s also only been 2 weeks since you joined. While sometimes this does not matter in the end, other times it does. Each seller is different.

I think a presence in Google organic is important but this takes time. It can take a year for Google organic to start trusting a site but having listings optimized to begin with is vital in getting more of a presence in Google organic.

I know my views have been picking up with Google organic. I do know for a fact that sellers can get sales via Google organic from my own website I used to have.

Look at it this way, Google organic has customers searching on their search engine. They want to provide their customers with an experience that is safe. The longer a site is up, the more Google organic will learn to trust it and show results. Like said though, listings have to be optimized to begin with. I’m thinking yours are but maybe take a fresh look and read some articles on optimizing descriptions, titles, etc.

Also, something to consider is that if your items that you have listed here are also listed on another site like Etsy, then your Bonanza booth will compete with Etsy, especially in Google shopping and especially if they are listed for the same price.

I’m not sure how to answer on the memberships with 100% certainty because everyone is different, so I will let you know about my own personal experience.

I did one month of the gold membership.

I did not have an increase in sales. I did not have much in inventory up in my booth. Was that the problem? I don’t know. Would I try it again now that I have more inventory up? Yes.

It might help, if say, it’s around Christmas time and someone has a lot of ornaments up for sale (because there are a lot of ornaments for sale on any site to begin with) to get a gold membership so that the seller’s ornaments can have the chance of being more front and center to shoppers on Bonanza during this time.

Some of your inventory is stated to be beach towels..so that time of year will be approaching.

Hmmmm, well I can say this right off the bat, if you run a business and are not willing to put 110% into it to make it succeed, then you will fail due to your own actions, no one else’s. You have got to work for the sales here at Bonanza, I myself list new items daily—Yes daily! I advertise on social media, when items sell thru my other locations I send coupons with discounts and bring the customers here to my main booth, periodically I pay a couple sellers here to also advertise for me. This site is not like Feebay where they have tons of traffic just waiting for you products, I feel Bonanza is a much better site and really do not know why they are not more popular, but I can say as of the last couple years my sales here have increased, but it will not happen over night. If you are looking for that instant turnaround, then you will be disappointed. Good luck to you!

I also have fair sales elsewhere and very little traffic here.
I will not put much effort where there is no sales.
But I will give Bonanza a few months to see what happens.
I would advise everbody to open a booth for a few months before paying for a webstore.

Your merchandise looks nice BTW
