Need input from those using the pro plans (membership)

I am looking at the different plans and would like some input on how it has helped you. I am returning to selling again and would like to upgrade a little bit. Thank you in advance for all your help!

I have 3 booths. One has a gold membership, the other two do not have any membership. I only see a little difference.

What has made the most difference in getting sales is using the advertising that Bonanza has for us to use. Yes the fees are a little more but the extra sales more than make up for that.

So, I guess my answer is, do what ccmom says to do—optimize your listings and THEN use the Bonanza advertising feature.

First off, I would make sure everything is Search Optimized [URL removed] and [URL removed]

Second, I would not even consider a membership plan with less than 100 items, you could never sell enough to cover the cost…
Third, I would make sure my items show/place in google products search consistantly…(this is tied to the Search Optimize)

Then once sales started (to actually justify the cost) and only then would I go for the Silver plan to organize my booth and go for a small boost…

Higher cost plans at this time would not be advisable for what you have now..

I used silver for many years, never went higher, because I did not believe that my booths were ready to support the higher cost (I am not high volume seller, but steady seller…which is fine with me). I dropped it last year, simply because I was in hospital for several surgeries and could not keep up with all the google changes at the time…When I am back up to speed, I will probably upgrade again later…maybe for the holidays

Good Luck

Hi Yardmarket, you can always try it out by getting the monthly gold or silver plan, and on those they give you a a free trial your 1st 30 days…. i just did mine today. You give your credit card, however it will not be charged if you cancel before the next month. just make sure you do the monthly plan and not the yearly plan

Thank you, right now I am just working on getting my booths back in order, that is why you aren’t seeing a lot of items. I have been selling for a long time and was just wondering if the memberships where helping others, and if so, which ones? Thank you for your input on the Silver plan as I was looking at that one also. It’s been a hectic three years, just now getting myself to a spot where I can start selling again. I have always love Bonanzle/Bonanza. Again Thank you!!
