Sale Question:

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 04.02.2007, 20:43

I search for this but have found nothing.

My sales for at the gaz station are pretty slow and right now i am questionning myself:
- should i enlarge my gaz station to have more employes en sale faster?
- or should i buy another gaz station?

So my question, to have a good idee, is:
what is the formula that decide how much time it take to sale a unit?

Thank you.

Sorry, but the formula is a secret one

The gas station will sell more if you expand it and hire more employees. If it has a size of aprox 100 qm advertisement points will also help.
And the sales time also depends on the price and quality you sell for (you can compare your figures with the stats (button on the top of the page) and see how near you are to the average prices and quality.

Some players tend to building new buildings instead of expanding them at the beginning. I personally do this with the production buildings, but not with shops. But it's just my point of view

But is it the same if i buy a new shop with 2 employes inside compare to enlarge my old shop and have 2 more employes.

All this in the same area, with the same produce of the same qualitie and the same price ... etc...

Because to me, with an area of the size of a country, it should really not be the same.

I just asked several other players because I was not sure about this. They said, that the profit is the same, either if you buy a new shop or expand the other one.
The only difference are the construction fees.

Following on from this I would add the same doesnt apply to expanding a production building vs building a production building

Meaning is better to expand production building?

I got thought to this matter but I am in a way too early stage to think about expanding or building another one.

Personally i think i prefer to build another gas station but getting to the cash to build another one, you might consider to expand (it will speed up the process) since the market price isn't helping that much. I am one day away to getting a new gas station (the old one i expanded 5 qm which i think got stuck in between

bad idea... hahah but beats then not expanding at all)

the best thing todo if you have the money is build 2 gas stations, upgrade one gas station by 10 m2, and use the other one to sell gas, then when its done use the one you just upgraded to sell gas, and upgrade the other one to the same lvl as first one, ect. its not recommended unless you can keep production going and upgrade at the same time.

but the best advice would be just upgrade 1 gas station by 10 m2 at a time, like every 2 days or so ad another 10 m2 and 1 employee.

but remember, don't upgrade the building so much that you have trouble supplying it, if your making your own gas from scratch then all i can say is, Best of luck =)

Doing gas stock pilling right now in mist of waiting for my second gas station.
Was planing to do something similar like what you were saying just now, either that, or build my 3rd gas station

But with the current price war at the market with gas doing about 2X profit, i think supply isn't a problem (for now). But yeah, controlling all the production except power (which i am thinking i might be doing in the new future)
