how can a new vendor get noticed and start making sales on sr? especially since there are so many vendors on sr already. any way besides giving free stuff?
-
I know a lot of new vendors 'donate' to get their names known but i didn't. I think a lot of it is your ability to let people know you are there and that you are a professional at what you do... focus on 'fast ship times', 'excellent packaging' and just plain old 'good customer service'.
I will be the first to admit my pricing is not the best but where I excel is in the areas mentioned above. When someone orders from me (when I have stock! thanks 420 sale!!) they KNOW it will ship that day or the next day AT THE LATEST. That I will msg them if something happens or just msg them to thank them for their order (not as much now, too busy!)
I am sure there are plenty of 'professional' buyers on here who will tell you that price is not the only factor.
Good Luck!!

Answer questions. Don't require FE. Be nice. Be professional. Offer cheap product to start, no ones going to buy a 250$ Oz off you when you have low feedback. But, a 15$ g would be doable. (Or 1 pill vs 100/.25g vs 3.5g) etc. Advertise yourself in the products offered forum. Take advice, and don't be a dick about it. If you get reviews saying your packaging sucks, fix it.
Slow and steady my man, slow and steady.
ALSO, if needed, ask those who you ship to to make sure they leave an honest review in the forums and in the feedback. =]

If you can offer something unique that others can't, you'll get noticed, IMO. The users of the SL aren't one-off drug addicts, but rather responsible, mature dabblers. Offer a price and a product that can't be beat and you'll get some loyal customers in no time. It's basically monopolistic competition. Distinguish and differentiate yourself and you'll be somewhat of a price-maker. Sell a homogenous product and you'll be a price-taker.

Start with professional packaging, professional service. Wouldn't hurt to be active on the forums and advertise there as well. Giving discounted small amounts or samples certainly speeds up the process but it isn't necessary.
If you got good product and service from the start you'll go a long way on the Road.

What're you selling? I might be interested if I can get a good price for being an early customer or at least get good shipping/customer service.

im gonna start by selling coke then expand into h. i can get those two at really high quality so im gonna start with those 2.
thanks for all the advice guys i really appreciate it and its encouraging to see that there is room for new vendors.

i've heard that coke isn't really addictive, just psychologically so. is this true? if so, I might try it. If not, I'ma stay away from it. And I include chemically-induced cravings as being chemically addictive.

It's one of the more addictive drugs, not psychologically speaking.

it all depends on the person, i know alot of people who are addicted to coke. but they keep on telling me they are not and they can stop whenever they want. it al ldepends on the person.

I can also sell hard to get research chemicals if anyone is interested in them.

Could you get 4fa? I know a few of my homies would be interested.

oh no, that is an actual narcotic not a precursor. that would be needed to be synthesized since its pretty damn rare.

By 4FA do you mean 4-Flouroamphetamine? That is easy to get. :/

yeah thats what he means.

It's not hard to get but it's rare so it's expensive all over :(
