Guest eightbrick Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Holy jeez that's cheap. Jeff's gonna have to referee the fights over available spots. Haha, classic repititon. Nice. Perhaps the low prices will inspire a bidding war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViciousBrick Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I am more of a collector/builder than a flipper, so I don't even really sell sets, but I am shocked of all the super sellers on here do not jump on this to help bring more attention to their eBay shops or Bricklink stores. I mean a $25 investment in your business that may bring even a small percentage of extra eyes on your sets is worth it. An extra sale here or there more than pay for it. Maybe people here are not as business savvy as they make themselves appear to me. I don't know? Nice job though guys with the offer to help people boost their sales as well as support the site.

Jeff Mack Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 Jeff, can you create a sample so we can see what one would look like on the site? Congrats to Quacs. The first member to post an ad on the site. He is pointing it to his blog. Thank you Quacs! By the way, for those of you who would want to play around with making an ad, here is a very nice FREE banner maker. http://www.bannerfans.com/banner_maker.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gondorian Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I suggest showing different ads dependent on the location of who is viewing. You can sell more slots then and we will not all be competing with each other for a single slot that is only going to be relevant to a subset of the members. Just split the viewership up into regions and sell slots per region, with a discount if someone wants all the regions. What do you think?

Jeff Mack Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 I will worry more about placement and other stuff once all the other slots fill and there is a demand for more. Right now it doesn't matter much since there are plenty of spots open and I can still ad more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eightbrick Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 ... and I can still ad more. What, no one else noticed the pun there? That was great Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binici Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Can we perhaps do a banner swap? I'm thinking of promoting my LEGO selling and this great website on my website. Perhaps I can have a link to my listing page for my website in the signature for my account? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Mack Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 If you have ebay listings PM me your listings page and I will put it in your signature. If you want to promote Brickpicker that would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eightbrick Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I noticed there is a new "Brick Closet" banner up top. Is that eBay store owned by a member here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that will remain a mystery forever, and ever. And ever. It is a nice banner, and I assume it is a member here. There's definitely some nice pieces/listings in there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justafrog Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I'd say they are our new, benevolent overlords, seeing as it's the only banner ad I've seen up there all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Mack Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 I will not say who the member is, but I will say that earlier today they said their traffic already doubled to store after a few hours. So yes, good traffic. I will stay in touch to see if there are sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yes, good traffic. I will stay in touch to see if there are sales. I know I clicked on it because I thought it was a website, not an eBay store... so there is going to probably be a big chunk of click-throughs like that. I will say that if I knew WHO ran the store, I'd be more likely to buy. DNIIM and FC101 advertise their stores and I would feel better purchasing from them for no other reason that they represent an identity that I already know. An anonymous user, whether a BP regular or not, is no different than going through the regular eBay channels. Just my 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quacs Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 The Brick Closet is my eBay Store - open to all shoppers! I PMed Jeff yesterday about putting up a banner ad for two primary reasons: 1. Finally hitting that mythical "100" positive feedback mark that many of you hit a long time ago. 2. Meeting the threshold for "Top Seller" status Jeff is right - I saw a big uptick in visits to the site today. I'll try to post some statistics on views, etc. once eBay's Traffic Reports feature comes available. How many of those visits were from curious Brickpickers remains to be seen. And Frog, nobody wants me as an overlord... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
