Oh yeah, setting up your booth at Bonanza is indeed that important. Most of your future customers will get their first impressions about you from the way your booth is set up.
If you have not done so already, you could log into Bonanza and change the appearance of your booth. You could even change the banner that goes across your booth. The banners at Bonanza are great but if you really want to personalize your booth, you can make one of your very own and upload it. Just make sure the banner is the same size as the original banner that you are replacing.
With a membership upgrade, you could even add panels to your booth that display pictures, your discounts, what payments you accept, etc.
I have not grown up yet to get a membership upgrade but if I be good, hopefully mommy will let daddy get one.
Bonanza already has thrown in a bunch of bells and whistles to make your booth interesting so look into those items too.
May the force be with you.

Twitter...If you dare
As you add items to your ever growing Bonanza booth, you may have wondered,"Should I tweet about my booth on Twitter?" The short answer is yes but as we all know, life is not that simple.
The long answer is that you have to allow Bonanza to access your Twitter account so that it can send the tweets to it.
After you have set everything up, all you would have to do is log in (you have to be logged in to see the "Tweet It" button), goto any item in you booth, locate the tweet it button( usually near the bottom of the item listing), click on it, type something interesting about the item, and click the tweet button. Almost too easy.
Before you do that, carefully read the "Publish Item To Twitter" page at Bonanza.
As it states, you should only tweet about one item per day.
If you tweet about more than one product per day, it will be seen as spam by your followers on Twitter.
Don't make them angry. You would like them when they are angry.

Connecting to my customers...Lets Chat
After I imported my feedback from the mighty empire that is Ebay, I wanted to use the chat feature at Bonanza to it's full advantage.
Bonanza already has an in-house chat system that allows you to chat with anyone that enters your booth and they chat back. It is wonderful but it is useful only if you are logged into Bonanza on your computer. To really take it to the next level, you have to set it up so that it is connected to one of your instant messenger services that you use. This would allow you to receive the same messages you would get as though you are still logged into Bonanza, but it will come through your instant messenger client instead, and you would be able to chat back.
As you can see, this feature can really help you with people that have questions about what you are selling, your booth policies, etc.
To accomplish this mighty goal, all you have to do is log into Bonanza, Go to your account settings, click on the seller settings tab, and carefully follow the directions presented.
If you have set it up correctly, you should be able to receive notifications of people entering your booth, and any messages or questions they leave.
Of course, they could also send you a quick email, if you have provided your email address for Bonanza to send those emails to.
Yes, our empire is growing.

Importing my feedback...Does it matter?
Well after I signed up with Bonanza, I decided to quickly import my feedback from Ebay. I wanted future customers to know that I am the real deal.
At first I was kind of worried about submitting my Ebay password and ID to the feedback importer at Bonanza but after I read the "Import your Feedback From Ebay" page, I was ok.
It took less than 5 minutes to import my feedback into my Bonanza profile. Now I just need to get more good feedback from my future customers. The only way that will happen is if I give great customer service. No problem.
So far, so good.

The begining
Well I decided to try out this new on-line marketplace called Bonanza. It looked like a great place to start selling items.
I used to sell heavily on Ebay but then I had to go out and work to make some real money. I did great on a site called Pricefire.com but after three years there, it stopped having auctions.
I only recently decided to sell on-line again because I needed some extra money to help with the bills. Bonanza made a big splash and I dove in to see what was up with this new site.
Registration was real easy. After only 5 minutes, I was able to start posting items for sale. This site has lots of things to help with selling, including the ability to chat with your customers.
From what I seen so far, this is going to be interesting.
