Quote - > Quote - You know, maybe if the marketplace wishing well were "REQUIRED READING" for all merchants, it might be a busier place. I'm just sayin'. Some folks may not even know it's there at all if they're like me and link directly to the Poser Forum only for their daily reading.
I for one didn't realise it was there. Link please? I can't seem to find it.
The presence of such a forum does not necessarily translate into useful data for a vendor trying to determine if there is enough of a market to justify the time spent in creating, testing, uploading, and marketing such a product--let alone the investment by a brokerage in marketing a product on a vendor's behalf.
Suggestions are easy to make, but really useful data comes from sales. Speaking from a vendor's perspective, there is a suprisingly wide discrepancy between what is suggested and what actually sells.
If you like a particular product, then purchase it and let the vendor know that you purchased it. Aside from making the vendor feel good about helping you with a product that you liked enough to spend your hard-earned money on, it gives the vendor useful information on how much demand there is for products of that type.
Now all that having been said, there is an incredible variety of elements out there if you are prepared to look for it. I have found 1930s-style clothing and hairstyles, science-fiction outfits, pirate gear, western gear, and so forth--I can't remember the last time that I invested in a straight hairstyle or a lingerie set.
