last 4 weeks sales numbers Quote:Multiple Item Sales Unique Sales Total Sales [/quote] Adding this week's numbers to Amy's post from last week. Quote:1376 sales, down slightly from 1570 one week prior, likely due to increased competition both online and offline during this holiday season. I know that since mid-October our sales on our websites and on Amazon have been going up not down due to holiday shopping. You'd think that even the cheerleaders would realize that decreasing sales during the holidays aren't a good sign and definitely isn't normal. You'd think they'd realize that if Wagglepop is losing sales due to "increased competition" that there's a problem somewhere. Next topic Tomorrow will mark the 1 month anniversary of the last time anyone posted on WP's bidding, buying board.

RE: Wagglepop 2: Deja Vu as Auction Site That Left Sellers Stranded Reopens
Hi Everyone,
Wow I have been reading the forum over a WP (under my new id) about the adsmart and quite a few are speaking up! Hopefully more Poppers are seeing the light. One thing about their argument of filling the shelves kills me, the shelves are now on the decline. I wonder if they just don't realize that more and more stores are closing because of no advertising, so everytime that happens their inventory is removed. I mean come on, if you advertise, people would storm in and open stores so fast (or would have) that inventory would not be a problem. Imagine what the shelves will look like mid next year as the decline increases, Ray will be the only one left trying to fill those categories |

"1376 sales, down slightly from 1570 one week prior...
we anticipate that trend will continue through the remainder of 2006 and into 2007." Am I the only one who sees the humor in this? If the "trend" from one week to the next is for a 9% drop in sales that continues through the remainder of 2006 and into 2007, then the sales at Poopland should hit rock bottom in about 8 weeks. By February, according to WP's own predictions, the sales should be nil. |

It's like he's playing with their heads.
The sad part is the poppers don't actually see that the trend will remain going down. I think they miss that part entirely. They just think it's so wonderful that WP keeps them updated that they miss reading the da*m thing!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will spell it out!!! YOUR SALES ARE GOING DOWN AND THEY WILL REMAIN GOING DOWN!!!!! Thank you. That is all. We now return you to your regularly scheduled "programming". (Sorry, coudn't resist)!!! LOL |

There have been several posts by Ray regarding complaints in which he basically states WP may not be for you, if it isn't working for you it is your fault. There is an ongoing debate whether Amway is a cult. I found an interesting analysis of Amway applying the theory of cognitive dissonance.
Quote:Cognitive dissonance is the term used to describe what happens to a person when he accepts multiple, conflicting information at the same time. Rather than have to deal with conflicting thoughts, a person almost "separates" himself from reality. He starts to deny anything is wrong and continues to tell people, "Everything is fine. Just wait until I get there. Then you'll see I was right." In reality, this leads to both a further detachment from reality and a further attachment to the group's values. And if a person were to question the conflicting information presented to him, he would probably be told, "Your question means you don't understand the material. Continue learning and then it will become clear." This "separation" occurs at about the same time that a person starts to lose his critical thinking. |

Come on now Alskling... you know exactly what would happen.
Someone would comment that the trend was going down. A "pooped" popper would comment... "hmmmmm... that's not good, maybe we need to do something about that." 10+ poppers that aren't so pooped from trying to keep up with the WP run around would come and draw first blood on the one pooped popper... "Just wait til we fill the shelves" "Just wait til WP starts advertising in the middle of NEXT year" "It takes time to build a business" "But Karen said that sell-thru doesn't matter" "I'll put more ads on craigs list" "You're just negative!!" "You big meanie!! If I had a boyfriend, he'd pound you!!" "You can't make everyone happy 100% of the time" "My sales have been great... what are you guys talking about?" "Whaddya mean flip flops don't sell in December? I sold 40 pairs just yesterday!" "I'll give you a free bar of soap if you list more crap" "Come on poppers, lets have a list-fest and get those shelves filled" "Maybe you're just not the kind of seller WP is looking for" "You know nothing about selling online" "You sell crap" "Kumbaya" and last but not least... "If you build it, they will come." Did I miss anything? |

Platzki, I think you have it covered. That is what would happen. If no one has posted anything about the downward trend when I get back from being my daughter's taxi driver, I may have to post about it. I don't mind getting attacked for a second day, especially if it will open some of the sellers eyes. But maybe that is just wishful thinking! :
