Should I switch to sales threads instead of my signature?

Should I switch to sales threads instead of my signature?

Post by some bloke » 30 Oct 2013, 16:10

If this is better suited to the chatterbox section could a mod move it please?

It's been brought to my attention that I lack good member feedback regarding sales.

I can see that is because any potential sale or discussion about an item, or thanks for a well done job is done by Pm. Upshot of it is I am seriously considering changing this because the 501b don't get anywhere near as much forum exposure as a more openly discussed torch in sales purchasing seen by new members.

Now I COULD have sales threads running for each item I supply too.

I'd be able to put much more waffle on each notice that something will soon be for sale, possible sale bump, bump for intended purchase when the item becomes available, question about the item in general bump, comment that someone bought one and it wus great bump, - and my reply bump to each post would soon bump the sales forum up a lot.

It's fair to say that I may be losing sales by using my signature method that doesn't lead to member comments or discussion on open forum which is why I have to push them harder myself.

Potential individual sales threads are:


Complete Oslon black three mode last mode memory IR torch conversion for rear add-on rigs @ £53,
Complete Oslon Black single mode Ir torch conversion for rear add-on rigs @ £53,
complete Oslon Black low power Ir conversion for the Photon type rigs @ 53,
Complete visible red for rimfire range conversion@ £53,
Complete visible dark red for more covert air range conversion @ £53,
Soon to be thin aspheric lens and standard reflector low cost OP/B IR torch conversion for rear add-on rigs with 3 mode last mode memory @ £25ish
Soon to be thin aspheric lens and standard reflector low cost OP/B IR torch conversion for rear add-on rigs with single mode @ £25 ish
Soon to be thin aspheric lens and standard reflector low cost visible red for low rimfire ranges @ £25 ish
Soon to be thin aspheric lens and standard reflector low cost visible red for sub 12ftlb rat or rabbit ranges @£25 ish
Empty 501B torch host for DIY custom builds @ £13,
Thin lens for standard painted black reflector @ £10
Ahorton lenses @ £13,
Focal spacers for Ahorton lenses @ £10
Oslon Black three mode with last mode memory brass pills @ £17
Oslon black in single mode memory brass pills @ £17
visible red for rimfire ranges brass pills @ £17
Visible dark red for air ranges brass pills @ £17
Soon to be White brass pills @ £17


I can see that means I don't got good feedback from forum members TBH and maybe I ought to revise my sales methods so more people discuss them on open forum instead of PM's. And there may be members who don't get round to using the PM who would ask for clarification on a sales thread. More importantly - I and other members would get to say much more about each item. :think:

Tell me your thought please chaps?

This is the correct place, Dave.

If a customer wants to put an unsolicited thank you in Chatterbox too, then obviously, that's fine.
