Hey guys,
I was just wondering why my sales of the latest two character products, Tina Perez by me & Temptest3d http://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/tina-perez-for-v4-s4/109408/ and Reese Sisters by me & P3Design http://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/reese-sisters/103863/ are suddenly down. I partnered with a couple top vendors to try to get some more exposure & more sales, but it seems to revert my expectations.
Today I looked around characters that were released during and after the release of Tina Perez, and see lots of gallery credits (10+) of them, yet Tina has no credit, & of course my assumptions same comparison of sales.
What gives? What's making people not buy my products & not want to render them?
I try to make them uniquely different from all my other characters and all other characters, try my best to make them high quality, even my renders are high quality with a realistic lighting (no shadowless or ultra bright lights), tattoos "burned" into the skin rather then "painted" or "copy/pasted" for the more real look, and the skins react naturally to lights (no glow).
All this work costs a lot of time, even if this was a full time job for me (I have a real life job), I couldn't release a character once a month cause of the time involved, so I try to make the prices as reasonable as possible to reflect the uniqueness.
So why am I not selling them? Is it that my characters don't look like fairies? Is it the prices? Is it the quality? Is it the promos? Is it my reputation as a vendor? I can't figure this out.
Can I get anyone's honest feedback? Maybe an honest feedback from a vendor? I really need to boost sales but I'm doing something deathly wrong. Don't worry, I won't be offended on any critics, critics are for people to learn and I've learned a whole lot of things from them.
