Crazy Arse Hunt – April 2nd to 30th

Crazy Arse Hunt - April 2nd to 30th

ONCE UPON A TIME, not so long ago, there was a woman with a dream.

FOREVER FOND OF THE ODD, colorful, interesting and unusual, she wondered why people looked so sad. Was it their perfectly nice and respectable – but muted hairs? Had nice – or even worse – boring hair sucked the spirit out of them?

THEN LIKE A BLAST, it came to her!
It wasn’t that they all had to be as one, it was that they had all forgotten how to throw caution to the wind. To be wild and free, to dance to their own tune like no one was watching, sing their own song, be a shepherd and not a sheep. To know they can be anything and not settling for less!
Perhaps she could help them? Find others who could assist her in showing those restrained by the real world how to let out their inner Vivianne Westwood couture model, outrageous drag queen, ripped and torn punk rocker or squeaky and shiny cybernun? Perhaps they secretly wanted to be a cat/spider/demon or toaster?
To not be afraid of new ideas and enjoy the madness of creation in all its weird and wonderful forms!

SO SHE AWOKE and planned to seek out like minds to assist her.

ACCOMPANIED BY A SEXTET of trusty friends, she set about finding those capable of making brilliantly wild and crazy hair. Only specific makers were asked, because the team had to be sure they were worthy of the challenge ahead.
They all laughed excitedly and said “Let’s do it”!

Our dream now becomes reality…

We bring you THE CRAZY ARSE HAIR HUNT!

WHY do you want to go on a hunt like this?

* Simple. It’s fun!
* Models often need to wear unique hairs on the runway of fashion shows.
* Even if it’s something you normally don’t do, it’s good to have a stock of interesting hair to use if you need it.
* Your friends will see you in a new light.
* You will find new and exciting shops you never knew existed.
* Many of our designers have never made hair, a lot of them rarely make items for hunts,
so this is a chance to get something totally exclusive.
* Because you CAN!

Please be aware there will be NO NORMAL HAIRS!
The designers are free to make something that stands out!
Colourful/bizarre show stopping numbers!
They might stick some garbage in it, throw in a rocket launcher, or give it teeth – you get the idea!
We let their imaginations run riot!

THE DESIGNERS in this hunt are all hand picked by INVITATION ONLY. Sorry but I have to maintain the quality/weirdness/creativity of the hairs and trust all to do so.

I AM THRILLED to see what each of our makers will create and hope you too will enjoy their fun and freaky items.
Male/female/unisex hair will be available in the hunt.
SO men you can join in too!

THERE WILL BE NO OFFICIAL HUNT CLUES but hairs will be blogged on Savoir Hair Blog.

All hunt items will be hidden 20 metres from the landing points and in plain view, so it will be fun but not impossible to find.You will be hunting for a slightly smaller version of the sphere attached to poster!
There is no group to join for advice or help as we are convinced such a group is unnecessary.
Hairs MAY be blogged, a few days before the hunt, as a teaser,by a few trusted bloggers only.
The hunt will have a MAXIMUM of 60 places to visit.
We want it fun, drama free and something to enjoy for all!

Tips for New Buyers

Howdy Spooky Kids,

We all were new someday in SL. Also beside even explore places at first time, we got our first shopping once, even if it was a freebie.

When you somehow get lindens, your next step is to spent them in some interesting item you find around the metaverse. After you get your most wanted stuff, some stuff may happen (not that i am saying that this will happen), in some cases, some item may have some glitch or you need help to set up them, and you don´t know how. Well, as a worried customer, you want to contact the creator somehow to make him/her help you out with this. Some IMs the creator or sends NOTECARDS to them, but unfortunally, in most cases, with incomplete information on the title notecards, as some of the merchants have a HUGE mass of messages in a day, the messages may be capped because of some reasons:

- Merchants also participates in Groups. Hunts/Malls/Fashion, etc groups generate notices. They can disable it but it´s not an obligation, if they desire to have the news from the other people. Notices is stated as like normal IMs , resulting the mass capped message that will be on the creator´s box.

- Greeters that send green texts to the owner -  (AKA traffic stats bots) wich send to the merchant´s mailbox a list of people who have recently visited his place, in every minute. This mass message may up ending capped messages too.

- Worried Customers trying to contact the Merchant: People stay calm. The most secure way to contact the merchant is only sending them a notecard. Instant mass IMs may up not appearing at his viewer and some cases doesn´t even go to the mailbox. Don´t blame us if you just send Instant messages and end up not getting any response. It´s not that we are avoiding it, it´s just really we don´t receive AT ALL.

About Sending a CORRECT NOTECARD to be visualized by the merchant:

- Try always to add your issue on the TITLE LINE. If possible with your avatar name, to rapidly contact you. Most of “New Note” notecards end up confusing us and not having the properly priority. When we see it´s a serious issue we try to get online soon as possible, if not we just wait for the time we get able to connect. And some people doesn´t even read because they might think it´s mall invitation notes.

- If you can´t find the item you bought: Try always to use the INVENTORY SEARCH form on the Inventory window. Look up for the name of the item you bought, and if it was recent, you can look up on the “Recent Items” tab.

- Some people are lazy to create their own notecard and rewrite inside of other avatar´s notecard and send it to the merchant anyway, with no title or identification. and may end up we getting contact with the wrong person. That´s why we ask for your SL name on the NC title.

-If you are looking for simple scripts, you may have a look on the Official Second Life Forums or SL wiki, you may up finding them for free instead of paying much for an item that you can get for free.

- When navigate on the Xtreet website, if you had any issue with online purchase, try always contact support first than send rude messages to the merchant blaming them because of the miss delivery. Most of time miss deliveries are caused of some lag in Xtreet – Xtreet Magic box communication. How to contact support – https://www.xstreetsl.com/support.php

- Be Respectful no matter what the situation is. As we aren´t on face to face, we always want the best for our customers, don´t assume the worst happened, give the merchant one or two days to contact you back before you get on nervous. As you may know, we all do have a Real life and sometimes things may gets us in surprises.

There are some few tips to have a hapilly and safely shopping in sl, in world or online, trying to following them you may get the things sorted out very easily with no  confusion at the end. I am sure lots of merchants wants to express everything like it´s written here but in our profiles we don´t have much space for it, so don´t think when we say “send your issues by notecard” or something like that, we don´t want to be rude or arrogant. We want to help you, just help us too to reach you in the easy way.

That´s all for now!

Freebies: Do they help generate interest at your business?

 

All Second Life residents have heard about those famous freebies that you can find in every single land corner. Most business owners uses this nice feature to promote their business and also a kind of way to “thank their customers” for purchasing their products. Others uses to cheat, adding ridiculous prices to get a simply “so called free item”, and unfortunally put ripped off items that was stolen from somewhere. Well. Now that is the question:

How do they help generate interest at your business? Does your customers when gets freebies out from your store, do they return to see your products? Do they im you to say that they are very satisfied with your free item that got interested to see more about yor store? Or they just get, leave and no more you hear of them ?

Well this subjects is well divided. It really depend on Kind of freebie we are giving out. Some freebies has limited features that works (gadgets, HUDS)… that turn out interest in people to get know more about this and maybe purchase the full product of you. That´s a great advantage of adding your DEMO products to buy for 0L not 1L (I don´t call products sold for 1L as freebie, as this isn´t really for free), and the other vantage that count much, is adding a freebie that WAS REALLY MADE BY YOU, NOT GOT FROM A FREEBIE RESELL. Really, unique freebies, more people can have some idea of your products quality and it will turn in interested at your store more.

We are so sick to see places giving out freebies that are really out of time, it´s just that i don´t think old freebies are good, but INOVATING them, gives more motivation to your customers to return at your place. New things are GREAT sometimes. Specially with clothes.

Giving out freebies can or can´t be connected to your sales. It really depends on the way you give out a freebie. New stuff generates interest from everybody.

Make them return to your store. It worths.
