| 1386730 | 2014-10-25 01:19:00 | I think either way you go will involve a reasonable amount of effort on your end either loading the stock images or promoting the product or getting the user data. Just go with what works best for you. If you want more user data you will need to impliment ways to gather it or pay to have it collected :) As to middle aged women's dress sizes.. It depends on the woman. I have some stock photo's. Many TM seller use photo's from ebay, aliexpress, alibaba com (whom we may also source bulk items from - they can do the photos for us, and in some case drop shipping maybe). My sister has her own, however we need be careful that we don't erode branding/pricing of any of her labels, as she sells them locally in aussie. There are ways to pull/scrape data from TM (or any website), did a bit of research and found that a car dealer (bit.ly) got fined for shill bidding, and uploading a bot. Indeed, and you being a programmer may know these - I have used for my niche sites/blogs - advanced/custom google url parameters, (moz.com) operators, (www.googleguide.com) XML paths (www.distilled.net), and specific php server queries (www.googletutor.com) to find unexplored niches. But....I ain't gonna go there with TM, I risk getting banned. Indeed I have been warned from and locked out from Google a few times for running advanced scripts - including ones they say we can use. But too much too fast, big G don't like it. Get labeled as a automated robot. Though I think TM has the means to prevent bot crawling, like a guide like this one. (www.webhostingsrvcs.com) |

| 1386732 | 2014-10-25 08:39:00 | 14 C is fairly average in NZ despite all the girls claiming to be 10-12 | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1386733 | 2014-10-25 09:21:00 | Yeah, but TradeMe has an enormous user base. Its kinda like having a retail shop in an industrial area vs having it on the high street. But for clothing? Call me old-fashioned, but I prefer physically trying clothes on before I buy them, to be sure they actually fit. Also, thought the title was about someone trying to sell metadata. :lol: |

| 1386734 | 2014-10-25 19:09:00 | 14 C is fairly average in NZ despite all the girls claiming to be 10-12 The most undersupplied part of the market is for dress sizes of 16 and over. Most women shopping for larger sized apparel have to resort to buying their stuff online from stores in the UK or the U.S. So if you were looking for a god niche market for women's clothing that would be a good place to start. I know several women in their late 30s and early 40's who regularly buy size 16 or over from overseas. |

| 1386736 | 2014-10-26 02:49:00 | If you have your own website shop you can also place some items on Trade Me with a link to your website for further information. That's a very good way to spread the word. Also there are a growing number of women who shop online for the convienience (saves time) and they can do it on their mobile device from the comfort of their living room. My fiancé buys all sorts of stuff online including clothes for herself and for me. |

| 1386737 | 2014-10-26 22:15:00 | Good tips - Size 14 and higher seems to be prevalent. Went to a 60th party the other day. Many of the women and some girls - all NZ's - have gone a bit big/medium/plus (what ever one would call it), since I last saw them a few years back, wearing it seems oversized dresses/tunics. Research has shown that though men shop on mobiles - it seems a bit higher according to this report, (bit.ly) but overall more women spend more online. Women are more receptive to mobile ads (marketingland.com) (on android), but convert/spend more on iOS devices. |

Yup, if you want to target users who will spend money online at your store aim for plus sized women who own iPhones or iPads as they tend to have more disposable cash than android owners who are less likely to spend money online. As long as you make your store visually appealing to women you should be on a winner :) |
