Chapter 997: Chapter 995 Store’s Status

Curious, she checked the listed items and saw that the normal, non-bidding products had already sold out again, despite her limits on how many of the same item a customer could purchase per listing. It was clear she now had a solid following.

So, she quickly pulled up the store’s profile to take a closer look:

[Omni Treasure Vault]

[Store Level: 1

Followers: 100,000

Likes: 34,000

Reviews: 1,500

Current Listings: 20 items]

Seeing the stats, Kisha was pleasantly surprised. The numbers had climbed so high that she hadn’t even noticed; perhaps this was what 008 had been referring to. The growth also made her happy, a clear sign that her hard work was paying off. Smiling to herself, she began checking which items needed replenishing and then moved on to the territory warehouse to review her inventory.

[Territory Warehouse #1]

The list was long, and with the different grades of items, Kisha realized that her supplies weren’t as abundant as she had thought. She had been continuously selling off her stock in the warehouse, much like she did with the first few stocks she had, which were selling like pancakes. But since opening the bidding, the situation was gradually changing; her warehouse stock was slowly building up again.

This didn’t bother her anymore. Unlike before, when her warehouse was overflowing with unsold items, now that the marketplace had opened and outsiders were entering the base, she knew her supplies might soon become insufficient. It made sense to stop selling items cheaply through the Sales Channel. In fact, scarcity could drive prices up, especially with such high demand.

Kisha wasn’t in a rush to replenish her stock just yet. Instead, she planned to let the bidding continue, allowing her customers to experience the tension and hunger of competition. This "hunger marketing" strategy would encourage them to bid higher, turning their impulsive desire for the items into bigger profits.

After all, if customers assumed that the next batch of goods would be easily restocked, they might hold back their bids. They could even set a ceiling price for certain products, thinking it wasn’t worth bidding higher since another batch would come soon.

If her customers started thinking that way, the prices in the bidding section wouldn’t rise much, and if that happened, what would be the point of having a bidding section at all?

"Host, aren’t we supposed to ride the momentum of our store’s name update and branding, get more people buying our products, and make the brand widely known?" 008 asked, clearly baffled by Kisha’s sudden change in decision.

"Can’t I change my approach? After all, hunger marketing is a proven strategy, and far more effective than our original plan. Besides, wasn’t it already part of the initial strategy? I’m just taking it to the next level," Kisha said nonchalantly.

"Host, I didn’t realize you were already thinking so far ahead," 008 said, a hint of surprise in its voice. "Alright, I’ll keep monitoring the store and let you know if there are any changes. But since we won’t be restocking as regularly as before, other customers, or even merchants, might start pestering you for trades instead. What do you think about that?"

"Just skim through the requests," Kisha said, taking a sip of her drink. "If they’re offering something good and aren’t asking for too much in return, let me know, I might accept the trade. As for the ones with excessive demands, just turn them down; no need to bother me about it."

"Understood, Host." After responding, 008 immediately went off to carry out its tasks as instructed.
