Zero to Pulse in 2.5 Auctions .........
A lot has happened since last post. As anyone from our PPL family knows we have been making an attempt on eBay for both a promotional tool and as a fundraiser yet not in the traditional manner. Since we make magic and fun in children's lives, it seemed the best way to become known on eBay as well, so we went after the fun. The initial attempts were successful for promotion and we hope that our current auction will be successful for fundraising.
The debut for our first auction was just before Christmas and can still be seen on eBay. Item number 5648020113 I was told it made it to the Pulse but since I don't have that documented I can't be positive. We had over 1700 hits and 60 plus watchers.
Our second was for Valentine's day and can still be seen on eBay as well. Item number 5656406677 1100 hits and 65 watchers.
We've even had a few knockoff auctions and several personal Ponies Ltd. mentions in other people's auctions since then. Our network is growing! Trust me when I say that this is a compliment.
The 3rd auction, referred to in the above title, didn't OFFICIALLY begin as a PPL promo, it began more as a joke than anything. Imagine my shock when it hit Pulse halfway through. It began out of my frustration at the measuring method for arriving at Pulse (the area where the most often watched auctions are listed) and the fact that a huge majority of people would rather see "get rich quick" schemes than an adorable child with their pony. So ok yes! .... We sold a "clue". Item # 5668858782
This brings us to now and maybe selling a CLUE worked because we currently have 2 auctions running. One is for Promo and one is for Fundraising and they are BOTH on Pulse!
The Promo auction is item # 5671958550 (560 hits and 43 watchers 2 days left to bid and watch) .... In honor of our new corporate sponsor, The Thorp Institute. http://www.thorpinstitute.com
And our fundraising auction is item #5673977506 (525 hits and 41 watchers 8 days left to bid and watch).
You'll notice that the "hit to watch" ratio has improved greatly, which is a GOOD thing (we've been working hard at it). Please help with just a few mouse clicks on eBay? That's right ...... the more "watchers" we have, the higher in the ranking we move and the more exposure PPL gets. Hits don't count for the rankings. Although we love that you visited and please leave us an email when you're there. We'd love to hear from you and know that you enjoyed the visit. But what helps us the most is when you put our current auction on "watch". That in turn moves up our chances of higher bids on our fundraising items. Isn't it a fun world where just a few clicks of your mouse can do so much! Thanks so much and thank you for visiting.
