Lucky Chairs
Ok. You all know I hide under a rock. So if this is all old news, just bear with me. When I first heard about luck chairs, I thought they were crass. Not as crass as campers or bot camping, but still too gimicky for my integrity. Yes I know, I’m more tortured artist than suave business woman. Whatever.
With the new search of course we got even worse gimicks of gifts only if you have their store in picks… I hate that almost as much as camping. Only because camping lags the store to the point where I refuse to even shop there. Personally, I hate that the search uses picks at all because it can be gamed that easily. Picks should be the creators who you think are awesome, not those that give you free shit for it. For a while at least the all search was a bit better than places, now it actually seems worse. Shopping in SL just makes me feel ill.
Shep also has a new thing sort of like the mobvend (which is higher on the crass-o-meter than the lucky chair) that if enough unique people click on it once by midnight, everyone who did gets the free gift.
But over the weeks I’ve been distracted by plurk, many people I respect have been going lucky chair hunting. So… is it now cool instead of crass?
The reason why I’m asking is cause if people think its fun + like free shit, I’d give in. I actually like giving out free shit.* Biz has always done fine without it so it’s not that much of a big deal either way. And in my experience, traffic has no effect on my sales at all. Not sure if I’m an oddity or not with that, but some of my best weeks have been with some of the lowest traffic numbers. Maybe because word of mouth still beats everything else. Perhaps it’s all my loyal customers I’ve gained over the years. It could be that stuff is easy to find. I dunno.
Oh yeah… as a side note:
I’ve been ill for over a week so the next set has been pushed back. Maybe on Wed? Don’t quote me on that.
Cheers

*don’t send an IM asking for free shit. I will not respond.
