The Market - what are YOUR basics?

I think there's one way we can help each other a lot and that's to combine experience and ideas on HOW to market those Meeroos and nests we want to sell.

From those who are willing to share, what's your best marketing technique? Many of us have been in a number of breedables and have found things that work really well and have found that certain things don't work so well.

To start, I must say that it's surprising how much the really basic, obvious things make a difference.

Things like being SURE that all your Meeroos and nests are actually set for sale. SL can glitch when you're pricing and your Meeroo or nest can revert to not-for-sale or, worse, to the default 10L. Double check.

Another idea is to put distance between your nests that are for sale so the shoppper is not greeted by an eye-crossing wall of hovertext. Many, including myself, will just walk away rather than try to see it all.

Get attention to special nests by adding signs or little hovertext-containing prims that add information about your special Meeroo or nest so it gets attention. Ears, tails and other traits don't show up in hovertext. Help the shopper by making it easy for them to see what's special about what you're selling.

Does anyone else have some tips that will help people make their sale displays easier and more attractive to shoppers?
