Well, there are some basics for malls. I don't own one or am apart of one, so this is just observation and speculation.

1. You MUST have a shop the size of 450+ (that way you are on the main market place, but upgrading to 450+ will cost millions)

2. You must have flashy banners in your shop description, that link to all the other shops in your mall.

3. You must specialize in a certain type of item, or items. Like say you were the book strand, you MUST have almost every single book in your mall, and 5+ of them in stock. You can also do two things if you feel like it, like codestones along with books, and have like 50+ of each codestone in stock and sell for 9k each.

4. Your prices should be atleast 2-3x what the wiz price is, as you won't earn any money if you sell for less than the wiz.

5. If you are the leader, make sure that the others in your mall make these requirements, and ask them to stock them daily.

6. Notice board ads help alot too. Also, items you should mainy go for are quest items, because people just bookmark your shop/mall if so when they get a faerie quest, they just click your bookmark, and click on one of the links to your mall for the item they need.

Thats all I know about malls from going around the BDC looking at other peoples. You usually can rake in about atleast 500k-1mil+ in one day of having your mall open. Uhh..hoped it helped.

Well, there are many reasons: To make sure you can hold everything in your mall, and 450 shop size is the bare minimum, most people with very successful malls have shop sizes of 1500+. having a shop size of 450+ ensures that you are on the main market place (http://www.neopets.com/market_map.phtml), and that is where many new neopets players begin their shopping, and some people already use that daily to get quest items etc.

also many people won't accept you into a mall unless you are atleast this shop size, so they can weed out the people who wouldn't be able to stock their shop to the fullest anyways.

retroguy wrote:

Yes, and no. If you just have many shops with a link together, but each shop only contains one or two items, then many people will just leave, because the chances of you having their specific item is slim to none. You must have a wide variety of items in a certain category (books, toys, etc) to even think about making money through a mall. And some people in you r mall may also put other things in their that don't belong, like someone selling books would put in lots of chocolates, when you are the shop doing chocolates, taking away from your profits.

retroguy wrote:

new members, people who havent discovered the shop wiz yet, and desperate questers on a faerie quest that cant use the shop wiz, but need the item.

learn some basic html, and let someone with graphic knowledge create them for you. also adding in how to bookmark this mall would ensure that people come back.

Some succesful malls for example would be:

http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=hrobi
^hrobi

http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml ... dogfriend2
^dogfriend

http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=qtpieluvr
^qtpieluvr

just to name a few. look at their shop sizes, and look how they stock/price their items, and look at their banners.

To start a mall you need to be a multi millionaire... and have multi millionaire friends.


Does anyone know how hard it is to join a mall?

I think your best choice would be to advertise on the neoboards, but most mall's bakery shop fills up FAST, because a lot of poeple RS bakery.

if thats all you have, not many malls would accept you. mainly newbie malls would accept you, and they barely make any profit.

turkish to answer your question, not very hard, if you meet the requirements. you MUST meet them though (450+ shop size, always stocked, only the items you sell should be in your shop)) and if you are friendly enough with people, you would get accepted easily.

you're also probably going to need to pay fees to be part of the mall. .. they can get steep.
