MagicMushrooms.org about to give it up :(
    #4262727 - 06/06/05 07:00 AM (18 years, 9 months ago)

yo guys

we are a sponsor since like 4 months and I have the feeling that not a single sale was coming in from the shroomery yet.

either people forget about the shroomery discount upon checkout or more likely: since we don?t deliver to jesusland we just don?t get any customers from here; definitely strange as hell...

I really figured the crowd to be more of a global one, not just dudes from california or idaho :wink:

wanna gimme some insight of what could be going wrong?!?

cheers

Why have you come to believe that none or little of your business has come from shroomery memebers??

"I celebrate the Earth, my home, my mother, my grave, and as long as men are Man they must, if they would preserve the integrated being, do the same---[and preserve]--this rank casual hungry smelly sweaty lusting transitory body, my oozy pulpy liquid-bag-swollen body, bones, blood, hair glands, my bejeweled sex; I love and celebrate it all.  never to let men forget that they are animals as much as gods---that is one thing I shall say."

I dont understand why you dont ship spores to the u.s.a. just 3 states not to ship to so 47 you can ship to if you would ship to.

It's only three states, 47 states could mean a lot of business....

Marvin,

It's all about marketing...

MushMush just closed down...you should have a good market now.
Push the European sales!~

Push sales in California, Georgia and Idaho.
You don't have to follow the same rules as American Vendors.

Capt Max (Sporelab) in Canada does a hell of alot of business selling spores to people in California.

I'd bet that California sales alone would keep you more than busy if you used your head.

Get put on a few search engines!~
Re-Vamp your site...a little.
Post more here in the Vendor forum.
Have a few Contests in the Marketplace...and introduce yourself to the Community.

be a smart businessman!~

good luck to you.

Ralph is probably the most popular vendor here. You know why? Because people here know him because he posts quite often. Also, with all his giveaways, his name is burned into people's heads. When they go to order a syringe or print, what do they think? RALPH.

Do some giveaways, buy one get one free specials, etc. and I'm pretty sure you'll catch on here more.

ya look at Ralph always posting and im looking to buy more shit and because he posts so much and with all the free shit he gives im probably going to go with him. The shroomery seems to me that is a majority of Americans on and ur site has prices in euros.

I agree with everything Roadkill said... Your prices are very good, and the fact that you're a real mycology shop and not a "legal highs" shop with spores on the side makes you look more credible. I plan on buying from you in the future, I just have everything I need for moment.

So you don't sell to the USA? Thats brilliant marketing. "Lets avoid a gigantic market". Good call, guys! Also, when you come in here and insult the nation that most of us live in, don't expect us to drum up business for you. I'll be removing your company from the list of vendors that I recommend to people that ask me.

Yes the whole Jesusland comment did offend me even though I'm not a big supporter of the US anyway. Personally, you were one of the first sites I thought about purchasing from. But when I saw there was only in euros, no translation for dollars, I thought they must not sell to the USA and after research I found out you guys didn't. You can not sell to 3 states and sell to all the others and still make good profit. You guys have some nice products but us Americans do have money you know. And with the joy of credit cards, switching from dollars to euros is alot easier then it used to be. I might not purchase from you for reasons about you bashing the country I live in, and I think some of the other shroomer-ites might agree with me that that is not a smart move to get customers. But do what you want...just remember that there are people with money in the US...believe it or not.

yo, thanx for all the comments and the cheering up, thats very cool!

@ road: we are doing great business with the entire world especially europe, I just wonder why not a lot more international customers came to us through the shroomery

@ gnostic: problem is that we?re not only selling spores, but mostly our ready made spawn bricks and these are certainly illegal in the entire US

@ all thanx for posting and hey I was being ironic when talking about jesusland..


we?re definitely not quitting our business, it?s been running snuggly for years now. I was simply expecting much more traffic and / or interest in our products from the shroomery members since we got the phattest shroom shop outthere :wink:

anyway let?s see how the upcoming months develop

cheers again

But you are selling Spores, which are NOT illegal, So you could def. make money off of spores in the U.S...Especially since you could be sending to Ohio, Georgia, And california...

It's really up to you though.

I'll change my rating to a four, you sound friendly :cool:

But using sterotypes is really, just not funny..It is, but not in the context of how you put it.

No, that's not ironic. What's ironic is that you made this thread trying to stimulate business, but you just pissed a bunch of us off.

On a personal note, I don't take seriously any vendor who starts all their posts with the word "Yo". Try to sound like an adult if you want people to respect your business.

Come on you all, give the dude a break. He, like most people in the world has a negative view of the US. Whatever, he was just joking about jesusland or maybe he wasn't. It doesn't matter. Drop it. He has good products and frankly when 10 people jump down your throat after one slip up when you are supporting the site that allows them to do that, it probably doesn't give you a good impression. Seems to me that we should give him another chance. I would love to have him stay as a sponsor and I appreciate his contributions to the financial wellbeing of this site.
That said, if you read the posts and ignore the senseless cruelty of those who attack our sponsor, you will find some good ideas, and I appreciate all of you who were helpful to our sponsor.
Is there anyone here who wouldn't be willing to give this sponsor another chance? Is there anyone here who really wants to be angry with him? If you do, well, I am sorry because living a judgemental life is a great way to be miserable.
When I first came to this community I though of the people as nice and helpful and there are many of those folks here, but you assholes that just senselessly attacked our sponsor should be ashamed because you make the rest of us look like monsters. Please be respectful.

Peace all.

When one comes to a community that (s)he is trying to support and asks for suggestions, it does not help to be insulting or personal.
Yes, you can be scathing, yes, you can be harsh for effect. But keep it there. Keep it impersonal.


On being professional:
Use correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
Start your posts with something other than "Yo," as this is the largest and most elucidate way of saying, "I'm unprofessional."
Which is NOT what you want to be doing.
Do not insult your customer base. When I recently wrote to a mentor about how my customer base was ignorant about the product I was selling, my mentor wrote back with an absolutely demolishing letter about how that is an absolute recipe for failure.
And I didn't say it to my customers. If I had, they would be no longer.

Now, as for what you can do for your business.
I would definitely support those who have said that shipping to the USA would be a great boost to your sales. Possibly giving Euro/US prices on spores and prints. Put a note above your growkits section that it cannot ship to the USA. If they try, just deduct the amount and charge for the spores without the kits, and ship. Send them an email about it, I'm sure no one would object. If they did, they have no one to complain to.
Advertise more, as others have said, post more on the forums, do giveaways (if you're interested in the European market, specify Europe in your giveaway posts), do special offers, etc. as everyone else has suggested.
And as Ralph said, mention Europe in your banner ads if you wish to stay Euro.

As with all other business, it helps to be a good businessman. You have a good vision, and a good site. Now work on the business side of things. Maybe you could read a book on business in general?
It seems the things you are having trouble with apply to almost any business in existence.

Best of luck to you in business! :thumbup:

Yes, you can be scathing, yes, you can be harsh for effect. But keep it there. Keep it impersonal.


On being professional:
Use correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
Start your posts with something other than "Yo," as this is the largest and most elucidate way of saying, "I'm unprofessional."
Which is NOT what you want to be doing.
Do not insult your customer base. When I recently wrote to a mentor about how my customer base was ignorant about the product I was selling, my mentor wrote back with an absolutely demolishing letter about how that is an absolute recipe for failure.
And I didn't say it to my customers. If I had, they would be no longer.

Now, as for what you can do for your business.

being austrian just as marvin, i feel like i have to add a little info here.

mm.org has been the first and so far still is the only "company" selling
ready to fruit casings and what i know, they make good profit out of it.

the sole fact that there hasnt been any competition for them yet,
may have resulted in sloppy service as they simply never had to face
any competition.

marv is a nice guy but from what i read it really seems as if the
international business venture, especially by advertising on the shroomery,
is a bit too big for him.

i perfectly recall once he saw a user statistic and narly dropped his
shit as he saw that like 1% of the users if from euro, oh well marv,
i could have told you that beforehand already :wink:

anyway, as a matter of fact, he seriously needs to consider all the points
mentioned in Praseodymn's post, as this here is a wee bit bigger
than the german/swiss little mushroom growing boards which seem
to form his solid customer homebase, besides the normal austrian customers.

anyway, besides the fact that i think his producs (the casings) are too expensive
hes doing a very fine job and if he cares to adjust a bit,
im su re shroomery business would become better aswell.
peace ohm :mushroom2:

Pay attention:

Roadkill was right, as usual. Myndreach got it too. They all offered some good suggestions. Here's my 2 cents:

You're advertising on a site that gets metric tonnes of US hits. If you shipped legal products to the US, and combined it with better advertising, your business would increase dramatically. You have no excuse to exclude the US from your business. Unless of course you don't like money.

There was a poll I was looking at the other day, asking what the Shroomery members' favorite vendors are. You know who got the most votes for a spore vendor? RALPH! His selection is amazing, and I've seen him posting on the boards a bunch of times and even giving away spores. This is a brilliant tactic. The community obviously loves him and his product. Take a page out of his book.

personally, I like your comments and attitude. You don't have to be "professional" to gain my business. If I wasn't in the U.S. I would definitely try you out. BTW, the United States is DEFINITELY Jesus Land territory. Learn to take a joke people, and open your eyes a little.

Yea it was a joke, but in THAT context, it's not funny.

Not making great business, might be b/c we dont do business w/ jesusland, Yea, NICE.

That;s like asking for better business while laughing in peoples faces.

No doubt, seems like a good guy IMO.

Just shouldn't have came out like that.

Personally I just felt like he was trying to come off being respectful and professional and all of a sudden he lets off the jesusland comment. Well I myself am not Christian and I'm not totally for the US, but asking for business and then selecting a huge avenue(I think that's how you spell it) for profit to make a joke about that maybe not even us Americans are proud of. Personally I don't like the Christian-holy-holy-jesus-jesus persona the US has taken lately. It's quite annoying and bad looking for other countries. Not to disrepect Christians of course, because my parents are and all my family is. But I mean, I do agree...try not to open with "Yo" and stuff if you want to sound professional. It's like walking into a skyscraper with a running jacket unzipped showing your chest, bagging pants, and an upside down visor on the side of your head being like "Maaan...we ain't gettin no business up in here". I mean, be a little more straight-forward and say "I'm sorry we don't ship to the USA, but I'm just wondering why we aren't receiving more business from international Shroomery members." I hope I didn't come off sounding too much of a hardass because I personally love and would support any company that supports the shroomery by paying for the space and the such. So I give you the best of my luck and wish you good sales in the future. :smile:

Actually "yo" means "yo" in any other language. Yo doesn't mean hello, as hola does in spanish. Yo is just yo.

Second, the USA doesn't fucking blow. It is actually quite an amazing place. The current government just so happens to be a complete disgrace to this country, and is fucking everything home and abroad all to hell.

I'd rather not sit here and try to defend in what I believe about my own country because what does it matter to anyone else anyways? Someone please lock this. He asked for help and it's slowing turning into a flame war. Sorry if I contributed to it.
