mashas_studio Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Hey guys, did anyone noticed that in last week or two there was some lower rates of orders or any customers contacting you, not sure if this is only me or others have experienced this as well.

vickiespencer Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I was OOO for 10 days, but I did notice that only two regular seller contacted me through my inbox and usually more do. :thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farhan_j Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 13 days there is no order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mashas_studio Posted November 24, 2018 Author Share Posted November 24, 2018 Thank you both, so I guess maybe it is the holiday season so people aren’t really starting any kind of projects. It was kinda weird usually I have every day someone contacting or ordering, not that I am new seller. Hope it will get better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misscrystal Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 This month has been the slowest all year for me, especially the last two weeks. Last year November was a terrific month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk1000 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 It’s been okay for me but not as good as May which was the best month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year November was a terrific month.Yeah, same here. I had some orders but not as much as I usually do. Can’t remember when was the last time that I had only 4 delivered and nothing active.

steve_maxell Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Ive noticed their current Yo-Yo algorithm is more of a pendulum right now. I usually see a pattern of my best gigs slump and then rocket a couple of days later. Right now my least popular gigs are picking up steam. All very odd because my gigs are always well positioned regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misscrystal Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Here is why. They are showing the gigs of our competitors, on our gig pages. They have done this periodically over the years and it’s always the same thing. It’s very predictable that sales will drop off.It diverts buyers from actually buying.

misscrystal Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 But it could help your sales if the buyer is on a competitors gig and then sees your gig on the competitor’s page.Unfortunately it doesn’t. Taking them off the page where the sale will be made, the place that they will finally be convinced to make a purchase, only to present large ads for the same thing from other sellers, kills sales.To make a sale you need to strike while the iron is hot as we say, and that is when they see the description and reviews on the sales page. It’s always the same effect on our sales.They see the description, decide it sounds really good, perfect in fact, decide just to confirm with a look at the reviews for the gig but just before they get to them they see some big ads for the same exact thing from other sellers.So they forget about seeing the reviews to confirm their almost there to buying decision and instead leave. :frowning_face: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t really noticed the drop earlier, but this month is kinda low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mashas_studio Posted November 26, 2018 Author Share Posted November 26, 2018 Well, at this point not sure if Fiverr is dieing, or people just spent way too much $ on Black Friday or Cyber Monday. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ashfaqurrrr Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Hey there, I was going through the issues. I guess it the season for Graphics Designers and Brand Promoters as because Christmas is coming soon. Though being a Web Service Provider and a Designer we might get landing pages orders soon. But i don’t find any buyer requests with good flow. Still umm okay with it… 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t tell how it was last years since at this time I was a new seller so it was normal for me not to have people contacting me, but now is weird.

But maybe buyers are looking something different rather than what you are offering. Anyways don’t be upset. Your luck and days are not favoring you nowadays maybe. I am going through the same situation. I am a new seller with only some few reviews.Though i am a Pro Developer . Life is good 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
