Since 29/10 my Fan Shop has only sold Foam Fingers every day although I have stock of everything else. This is the first time I have ever noticed anything like this. I believe this is losing me an amount of income each day.

What did you change in the items pricing? I had a check, and quite a few other fanshops are selling across the portfolio. Therefore, I doubt this is a general bug.

I just adjusted prices by 1p or 2p. Seems strange that is the reason for absolutely no sales but I will reduce and see what happens. I will give you feedback. Thanks Pete!

So don't be too greedy.

Well that seems to have fixed it - just reducing by 1 or 2p. I had hit max prices on the items that were not selling.
Also useful feedback from Jack and Radu. Looks like I have been too greedy. I had never really paid attention to sales before as my financial situation had been really excellent. Just since hitting a negative balance this season I had started to pay attention. Even then I hadn't checked the sales each day so minutely. Anyway I am going to fire my sales manager and take over the job myself
Thanks for your input!

I would like to move this to Discussions now, so maybe it helps other managers who struggle with this part of the game

Here are mine for the same day. Compare the difference in prices. I think it also depends on what type of match is played

2022-11-10 11:16:17 32,310 Fanshop: sold 1077 Foam Fingers for $30 each
2022-11-10 11:16:17 30,276 Fanshop: sold 1044 Shirts for $29 each
2022-11-10 11:16:17 28,860 Fanshop: sold 740 Footballs for $39 each
2022-11-10 11:16:17 36,855 Fanshop: sold 117 Helmets for $315 each
2022-11-10 11:16:17 32,100 Fanshop: sold 321 Player Jerseys for $100 each
2022-11-10 11:16:17 34,290 Fanshop: sold 1143 Cheerleader Calendars for $30 each

Prices may be less but you sell a lot more, it is a matter of finding the right balance.

Certainly pricing makes a difference and, as Waky said, probably the type of match too. Although I have little (new) data to go on it does appear that there is a great increase in sales when prices are lower. The increased numbers means greater income even though prices are lower. Here are my recent stats showing sales, prices and SUM totals.

2022-11-11 01:01:45 9,900 Fanshop: sold 22 Helmets for $450 each 450 4455000
