Is it a coincidence or something else going on?

I’ve been selling on Bonanza for quite awhile now and have been wondering if anyone else is having the same type issues here.
I have 2 booths on here and the one booth seems to get sales only on Thursday Nights and my other booth only on Tuesday nights, majority of sales coming from search engines.
Is this just a coincidence, or possibly that is the only time that my items are being put in top listings for customers to find my items. With over a couple hundred sales on here it seems awful strange that I sell most items on those days only.
Any suggestions on how to get sales on other days of the week :).

Tues…people getting ready for that Wednesday humpday drink

Thurs….people getting ready for that Friday/weekend drink..

no seriously, I find that my stuff does sell in cycles..usually on bi-weekly basis (I’m assuming a bi-weekly paycheck), then with a several week gap, then it starts all over again..

Google shopping does cycle which stores it shows in its search returns (if anyone thinks that they show all possible search matches all the time…they are mistaken)…I see it quite often

Nope, they sure do not show all items from all stores all the time in GS. I’ve seen it written down by someone in SEO that Google shopping will not do this all the time. Now can you imagine how sales would be on the internet otherwise…..

Seems like I usually get sales on Thursdays/Fridays. Use to be Tuesdays. Why, I don’t know. Thought Thurs/Fri had to do with people looking online before weekend shopping so they will know the price of things before they go into stores. They end up buying.

It just seemed strange to me that only sell on those certain days but I agree with ccmom that Google probably cycles store sites in the search engines.

Well at least you get sales. Been on this site since March of this year. No sales..I don’t think this site sent my items to Google at all. I have ran searches on different day and times. Items never show for Bonanza. Always for my Etsy store. Sale good on Etsy.

Sales slow on ebay and almost non existent on Bonanza or Etsy

I sell items all week long :) Maybe people buy your items in the evenings & at night because you sell shot glasses & drinking stuff :) Maybe they are drinking when shopping lol ; )
