What makes you look at a reborn sale ad?

Post by NinasNorthernBabies »

:hi ya:
I am just curious, and hoping for some constructive feedback.

I have a reborn for sale at the moment, and I'm getting remarkably few views. Of course I understand that some may not be interested in the sculpt, but other than that I wonder what makes you decide whether or not to look at a reborn for sale here on DF.

I notice that other sale ads that were posted after mine are getting double, even triple the amount of views. So naturally I am wondering why.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. :foryou:

I would like to know too as I see the same trend.

1) What really catches my attention is when the doll is a sculpt or made by artist I really like.
I do get tired of seeing the "hot sculpt" of the month over and over again so after awhile I skip those.
2) I like to look at the older sculpts also because so many of the newer ones have similar features and the older ones seem to be a little more unique.
3) I am less likely to look at a doll with painted hair.

Just my thoughts. :D

I just checked your ad. You did a nice job. Lots of details listed as well as clear photos. For me like Barbara said, the sculpt and artist is the first thing that attracts me to a listing. Again like Barbara said, if the doll has painted hair I usually look no further. If the ad says message me for price and photos I just close out the listing. Hopefully a new mommy will see your baby soon.
Hugs,
Nadia

Yes, I agree with Nadia.
I want to see at least one good picture, no pacifier no hats and the price on the first post.

I want to see a close-up of the face without a pacifier or a hat and closeups of the best features such as nails, feet and skin tones. I don't go any further if the post says to message for price and/or photos. I like painted hair so that is not a turn off for me.

I guess I am different, I click on all of them!!!
I come back & look at them more than once if it is something that is in my price range & a sculpt I may be interested in buying.
Must admit, I haven't been doing a lot of buying lately. Slowed way down after I retired!!

Thank you for all your comments, and I must say I agree with you all on so many things. But I just want to point out that I'm curious about why some ads get more VIEWS. I totally understand why some dolls take longer to sell, or some ads are missing things like pictures or price. But if you look at number of views on each sale ad, why do some get 300 clicks, and mine barely 100? Is it the title? Is it the seller name (maybe because I am new on the forum)? :dunno:

I hope I am explaining my question properly.

I understand what you're asking. Personally, i've never been that interested in boy sculpts..so probably did pass by your ad the first time.

I don’t think boys get as many views as girls. Also. remember that non members can view the sale ads, so it’s not only DollFan members giving you views.

For me it is certain sculpts I am looking for, or have not seen before and am curious as to what it is.

I just went and looked at your listing. For me it was the fact it was a realborn. I'm just not into them. I agree with what Nadia said except I do like painted hair :)

I personally am drawn out by all CAPITAL letters. And usually ones with longer titles. Also anything with special characters like !!!! Those that says ADORABLE or cuddly. Just special words like that. That’s how I personally am drawn to titles. Hope it helps!

That's really interesting, because I am the total opposite. Those things just bug me. :lol: :lol: :lol: Goes to show how different we all are, right? :toast:

Thanks for your input! :foryou:
