My sales are not down, they have been for almost a year last year... but right now they've been going up steadily for a few months.
I think the biggest problem to getting sales is vissibility. It's not quality, theme or type of product. Anything that shows on the top few pages will sell. If you don't sell it has nothing to do with the quality of your products etc. It has more to do with either the luck of getting noticed, or doing big things that will make you be noticed like promo bundles.

This might be part of the problem, but I don't see how people can become less visible all of a sudden... If this was the main problem I would expect a steady drop in sales (which I have seen for the past few months), but not an immediate stop in sales out of nowhere.. You can't go from vissible to unnoticed in less than a minute unless something else is going on...

To add insult to injury I'm not getting paid derived fees, not in pend schedule, no where in sight.
As for rooms disappearing my one mesh had 1,287 derives on it, as of the last 3 days there were 6 more derives but now the number is going backwards saying 1,275 derives.
Something definately is wrong. |
Adding to the mesh problem I to saw a decrease in my long top derives I had over 180+ and now it's decreasing. WTF.
And also my sales are the LOWEST They have been in years. It's horrible they need to do something about it.
Or someone needs to explain to me how to submit a stupid promo bundle if that really DOES help sales ...

As for Imvu Promo bundles? To my suprise I happen to have one of the top sellers *according to IMVU - and from my experience they dont rampage through your catalogue to find other things. Maybe thats just me....other people may have a different outcome.

hehe there's always some people that say their sales are up when we talk about our sales being low. Looks like there are less this time though.
Wish I knew if I was getting my derive fees or not.... I know I complain about it a lot, but STILL can't access my freaking reports after many months. So for all I know IMVU has screwed me over many times and I'm totally blind to it.
I've only been developing 3 years, but my sales are the lowest they've been in 1.5 years I think.

Hmmmmm..... |
Those products have disappeared AGAIN. I've filed a ticket to IMVU, they really know how to tick me off lately. I was starting to wonder why my sales literally cut in half, MYSTERY SOLVED.[/b] |

I noticed my sales have also taken a nose dive. Need to start making new products again.
I can't keep track of all the credits coming in properly due to this pend thing :/

On creator dashboard:
3487 in catalog
1723 in projects
5210 total...
and on my catalog web page it says 5205
So that means I have 5 missing?
How the heck do I find which ones are effected in 5210 products? |
When I look at yours I see this:
1-27 of 3,527 products found |

Guys I see you all having these issues with missing products and such, but just to be sure, you did file a helpticket about this?
edit to ad: nm I see now that staff was informed, still working on it as it seems.

What?
I'm supposed to request IMVU go through my HUGE catalog and find what is missing for me?
Riiiiight! lol
and btw....see my signature? I have a very old ticket they refuse to address fully. so I won't be champion of another "issue" for them.
I would much rather commiserate with my peers than try to figure out why IMVU's crap is broken.
