Slumps are normal in the panty selling business, the trick
is to not let them get to you, here’s how:
Imagine you were a buyer: what would you want?
How much would you want to know about a seller? How much
would you want to talk to her? Would you buy from a girl on twitter or would
you want to see a website set up to know she was serious? Would you want to
know she had been selling for a while to know she’s committed and serious about
her used panty fetish? Would you want to verify her or see she had been
verified? Would you want to see reviews? What payment methods would you want to
see her using and be comfortable using yourself?
These are all valid questions: make sure you cater to your
sellers, and they’ll be good to you in turn!
Don’t lower your standards
If you’ve set your prices at a certain amount or your
standards of buyers as being someone you enjoy talking to or can enjoy sharing
your fetish with, don’t lower your prices or standards for potential used panty
buyers. This is about having fun and lowering your standards is going to make
it a whole lot less fun by making you feel like you are really struggling.
Also take note!: You will receive a lot of SPAM and mail
from people who’ve not respected you enough to read your profile or ads and
those that are lonely or bored and really just want your attention and time and
don’t want to give back by giving you positive attention, just ignore this. They’re
not committed enough to keep annoying you, but if you engage with them they
will drain your energy and nothing will make you feel worse! (Will be discussed
further in next weeks post addressing time wasters).
Aim for repeat business
I always aim to make my buyers happy. It’s true, this can be
trying at times and sometimes you’re just not a good fit for a buyer, he may
not enjoy your scent, taste or might not like your taste in panties after all!
It can be hard for buyers to find the right seller, but when they find her,
they can be very loyal!
When someone buys your panties, give them the wonderful
customer service they deserve, the kindness and kinkiness they need (or, the
sadistic thrills if they’re looking for a panty mistress) and make sure they’re
enjoying themselves! Be true to yourself too of course. If something doesn’t
feel right, don’t do it. Don’t lose sight that this is supposed to be about
fun!
If buyers are happy, they will return and you won’t have to
worry about sales!
Advertise more (or more effectively!)
If you’re not selling any panties, perhaps you are
advertising in the wrong places or not advertising effectively enough. It’s
time to look into what other successful used panty sellers are doing.
Twitter’s a great place to advertise, so’s Panty Sphere.
There are also private membership site’s like Panty Zoo that are worth a
mention.
I found my very first buyer on fetlife, although it’s better
used to connect with other kinky people than to sell panties, I used it in my
personal life for the same reasons and still love using it (and all the porn
you can look at once you’re a paid member: YUM!)
Get verified
Speaking from a personal perspective, Panty Trust are a
wonderful verification service: You’ll never have to worry about “I need to
verify you on cam!” comments again, and they increase your sales and website
traffic (as well as twitter followers of course!)
Take a break: read a book
Patience is important, if you haven’t been selling used
panties for very long, breaks between sales can be long and although you might
get a lot of interest, you won’t receive as many sales early on.
So, instead of letting yourself be upset about things, do
other things you enjoy for a while, still maintain your presence online but pay
attention to your own needs too. Do you need to get some more exercise in? Do
some reading? Spend time with friends? It’s best to not look at panty selling
as a full-time job: it doesn’t make enough money to be anything near full-time
and besides, it’s taxing work at times. Do something for you and when you’re
fresh, you’ll be ready to take on Pantyland!
I hope this advice helps. See you all next week!
