How to Get a Second Life

Hints and tips Q Information boards: It is a good idea to have an information board in your shop. These tell the customers who is the owner and how to contact the person (whether by IM or a notecard, which you drop on the person’s profile), along with any other information about the store and the products sold. You can create an information board very easily using an external drawing program and uploading the texture in SL. Q Accessibility: Don’t clutter up your shop. Make sure it is neat and tidy and everything is easy to view. This will make it easier for the customers to view the items in your shop and move around. Q Design: Use simple textures in your shop and stick to a similar style of advert throughout. If the shop looks messy it may put customers off. Q Clutter: Excessive use of textures in your shop will increase loading time and potential customers may just go to the next business on the search list. Similarly, cluttered products that are not easy to find can also cause this.
