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.

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!

Question: Is is ok to sell stuff at your work?

I work with a bunch of women and they're always trying to get me to buy makeup, candles, jewelry, tupperware, knives, candy, cookie dough, etc. at work. I always try to buy from their kids fundraisers b/c I feel like it's a good cause, but there is a new invitation in my mailbox everyday, especially now that it's the holidays. The worse part is that some of them turn their noses up at me now b/c I don't come to their parties after work or on the weekends.

Answer: no, it is not appropriate to run a "home based business" from your place of work.....if these ladies were to mention on their lunch hour that they were part time makeup salesman or whatever that would be one thing (and even then, if it comes up in a conversation fine-but then they should drop it....and take a cue from you whether your interested or not)....but to bombard your mailbox...i don't know, but i think if i were the boss i would be kinda irritated that all my employees were wasting time on the clock looking at catalogs....
....and as for kids fundraisers....personally i don't think you should buy stuff for a school fundraiser unless the child himself asks you.....i think it is so ridiculous the way parents take their kids fundraisers to work....the kid is suppposed to be doing it!!
