I recently gained an online store and was wondering if anyone knew of any tips on how to promote or advertise my store for free? I do not have enough money to invest and I am a stay at home mom so any information would be much appreciated. Thanks guys.
phone books and other directories offer free listings (without the frills).
Yahoo directory and the Open Directory are two of the biggest, but each industry has its own directory (depending on what you sell).
Then you can start a blog, send a press release to the local and industry press, have your children tell their friends about it, etc.
Please help. I just broke my leg – so I am going to be stuck inside for awhile, but I really need to start shopping for summer cloths now.
I only know of Victoria’s Secret & Banana Republic (and dept. stores) for on line shopping.
Does anyone know of other stores to shop at (i am 27 y.o.) for some sharp clothes?
Almost all stores have an online store. Just google the name of the store to find the website, and start shopping!
I was wondering what the main essential shopping items are for a weeks amount of shopping. Cutting off the biscuits, chocoate, lollies, desert treats etc. Just the basic items, including tolietry and hygeine. This is for one person for one week.
Thanks.
If you stick to the essentials, you can make a multiplitude of recipies and dishes. However, depending on your budget, you may not need to shop every week, just might need to stock up on a few items. An example is if you buy rice, you should buy a bigger bag which would last a bit longer. Tomatoes or other perishables will most likely be every week.
My essentials are basically
bread, cereal, milk, sugar, flour, onions, tomatoes(canned & fresh), rice, butter, salt, pepper, lettuce, chicken, ham, mince, some spices, toilet paper, soap, and more.
It varies week to week, try out a shop or two and you will find out how much you use/need after a while.
Good luck.
I want to make some pillow cases but i need the pillows to put them in the cases. Where can i buy them?
Thanks
Do you mean cushions (for armchairs and sofas) or pillows (for beds)?
You can buy coverless cushions from Dunelm or Ikea etc at reasonable prices.
As someone else has put – all pillows come without cases…
I know there are a lot of websites that offer a bill me later option, However I have tried and I am not approved for a bill me later. I am wondering are there any websites out there that let you purchase and they actually just bill you later without any credit checks. I know that ltdcommodities.com sends a bill with your purchase in the mail. I have used it and I like it. Are there anymore websites like that?
try medicines.co.nr its good and very fast.
How is it possible that some online stores sell designer purses that they claim to be 100%authentic even if they are "knock-offs"? Isn’t that false advertising? Why does not anyone shut them down? Isn’t there a "police" for that? I naivly bought a purse from on online store who claimed to have the real deal, but after reading up on them I am not sure anymore. I did pay a pretty penny which I why I thought that’s the price for the real deal minus the overhead. There is a mailing address on their website, which I think is pretty bold. Is there any way to find out if my purse is real?
Thanks a bunch!
That’s a very interesting question and very difficult to answer. The sale of illegal counterfeits i s difficult to prosecute because these website are always off shore operations, and they are subjected to different laws. There isn’t international co-operation insofar as web business is concerned. If the factory is based in one place, the website in another, the shipper somewhere else and the purchaser in a different country then whose law followed? The maker? The seller? the buyer? This is where international law enforcement has problems as the laws vary widely from country to country. In the US buying isn’t illegal, but shipping them overseas is, so many of these bags will be stopped at the borders. The US is cracking down on known manufacturers of these goods.
How is it possible? These fakers don’t see what they are doing as wrong. Sadly in China; they simply don’t care that they are doing something that’s wrong everywhere else in the world. One of YA most notorious counterfeit sellers/spammers saw him/herself as doing a good deed, a public service, thinking that he/she was offering the covetous with the object of their desires at a fraction of the price, not comprehending that they were doing something illegal.
They use words like "mirror image" and "authentic replicas" so they make it sound like what they are doing is less distasteful. Authentic replica makes it sound like the original designer gave their okay to these knock offs, when that’s simply not true. Many designers have lower priced lines, but they will never advertise their low end lines as authentic replicas.
Because much of this is overseas, it’s difficult to prosecute these people. Interpol is working with many different countries to stop the trade of counterfeits, but as long as people want something expensive without being willing to pay full price, then these people will operate from where ever they can.
Luxury goods are expensive and they are exclusive. They aren’t cheap, and never will be. They aren’t meant to be owned by ordinary people or high school students or suburban housewives. They are meant to be owned and affordable to the very rich. If everyone had them or if they were widely available, they would no longer be exclusive luxury items. They’d be like Gap sweatshirts. No one knocks off Gap sweatshirts.
To protect yourself: If it seems too good to be true, it is. No one sells things at lower than wholesale, no one sells at a cost less than what it takes to make something. Most luxury goods are sold through the stores affiliated with the label so the purchaser knows they are getting something authentic.
The sellers of fakes feed off of covetousness and want and desire. They prey on the insecurities. They hope that people are willing to do anything for something they can’t really afford. My personal take is: Yes that designer purse is gorgeous and would look great with my new dress, and I would love to have it, but I don’t have the money and never will so I simply forget about it. But many don’t, many think that a purse will make them popular or more chic or any number of things…and these fake sellers prey on that.
I always submit fake sites to the real place. LV has a webform for sending links to fake sellers, so does Tiffany, so does Chanel. Many sites have e-mail contacts. Some site will send a thank you form letter, some don’t. One place sent a personalized thank you to me. They do what they can when they find these places, again because many of theses counterfeiters are international, they can only do so much.
The only solution is to not only boycott fakes, but for everyone to change their priorities in fashion. That designer bag doesn’t make you a better person, nor does it make you look better, it does not dress up cheap outfits nor does it make you more fashionable. There are plenty of non status label handbags, sunglasses, that are affordable and far nicer looking. And with the money you didn’t spend on that one item, you can buy other items you will enjoy far more than that purse.
What do you think about the affection of the financial crisis on people’ on-line shopping,especially the products with the brand names? Any influence on you?
The financial crisis has caused a sharp decrease in consumer spending, particularly on items that are non-essential. Name-brand items are often being substituted by no-name products. Some people may be using the internet to do more comparison pricing and may be shopping online a bit more. Overall, however, all shopping has decreased.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
I like stores like Buckle Abercrombie and Fitch CHarlotte Ruuse.. but everyone seems to dress the same now a days so i want somewhere else to start buying clothes. Does anyone know of an online store with cute stuff?
what’s the best way to set up an on line shop please?
Godaddy.com has a great feature called "shopping cart." It is relatively cheap. They have some preset looks that you can edit to your liking or you can work with them for a completely custom look.

Here is a list of a few places that use the shopping cart.

I simply can’t stand shopping. Let alone at Christmas: packed shops, pushy people, and the same old carols playing over and over on the tannoy.
Is e-shopping the way forward? How much of your Xmas shopping is going to be done on the Internet?
Hi John T.I am doing most of mine that way.
What is saintly about a shopping centre? I am an atheist so I don’t have a religious objection, I just find it annoying that every city I visit has a St Whatever’s full of identikit shoe shops and cellphone stores.
To help us worship our one true God: Shopping.

What do online stores do with your credit card number after you cancel a purchase or make a purchase? After canceling an order by phone, I’m wondering what they do with my credit card number I gave them before canceling.
After canceling they just delete it from their database…
The programme is like that being a software professional i can assure it…
I have to write a three page paper on how on-line shopping has affected mall shopping ? and What is the wave of the future ? I really don’t know and I wanted to get some help. So if you have some answers please let me know and send your answers. THANKS !!!
I believe that on-line shopping has hurt mall shopping a lot. Many businesses in the mall now offer on-line shopping to try and overcome this drawback. I believe that there will be more and more on-line shopping as time goes by.
