Question: Sims 2: Open for Business?
I started a business outside the home with my sim. Its a clothing store, but i also have magazine rack, perfume, and jewelry (i don't know if you can sell those things but that's not the point). I have a cash register, a telephone, and a open/close sign in the lot where my store is located. I had my sim spend all day at the store, and not once did anybody look, browse, try on, or buy anything. The other sims would just come in and sit around and talk. I even used a cheat to play as on of the customers and when i clicked on the clothes rack, all they could do is try on clothes, there was no button that said "buy" or "purchase". I have set a price on all my items to very cheap, but still nothing happens. Is this how its suppose to be or is something wrong?
Answer: Have you set everything individually for sale? From page 9 of the manual:
"To mark items for sale, use the For Sale tool located in the Build Business Tools section of the Business Tracker. Set their price level with the Price Wheel. Some items allow you to set a custom price by typing it in. Then click the item in question to set it "For Sale." Once on sale, the item has a yellow highlight."
The business tracker is in the top right corner of your screen.

Jewelry Business Tips
Question: I'm going to create a website to sell my handmade jewelry, should I...?
should I also sell beads from the site? Or do you think that someone looking for already made jewelry is not looking for beads? Also if anyone already runs their own small craft-based business and has any tips for me I'd love it! Thank you!
Would having the supplies to make take away the focus of the site from the jewelry?
Answer: Congrats on the decision to create your own website! After you have created your site, they are no more work than listing on other sites that sell for you and you will not be in direct, on site competition with others.
Jewelry is a heavily saturated market be it hand made or manufactured. I loved the idea of kits! Supplies are a great way to direct the focus to your own products. You can always direct a shopper to the product "these beads were used to make".
Free ads are the best way to promote your site. Stay organized and spend a few hours each week on promotions and you will find yourself making sales in a short time. Remember, it takes about a year to get search engine recognition. Just consider it a worthwhile investment into yourself and your business.
Happy sales and good luck!
