Owning a Shop
Welcome to Potter’s Army

Welcome to Potter's Army

We have been a Harry Potter Roleplaying site since 2007. If you're an old member we hope you come check out the discord link provided below. And if you're looking for a new roleplaying site, well, we're a little inactive. But every once and a while nostalgia sets in and a few of our alumni members will revisit the old stomping grounds and post together. Remember to stay safe out there. And please feel free to drop a line whenever!

Owning a Shop  Li9olo10

What’s Happening?
Since every few months or so a few of our old members get the inspiration to revisit their old stomping grounds we have decided to keep PA open as a place to revisit old threads and start new ones devoid of any serious overarching plot or setting. Take this time to start any of those really weird threads you never got to make with old friends and make them now! Just remember to come say hello in the chatbox below or in the discord. Links have been provided in the "Comings and Goings" forum as well as the welcome widget above.

Hey, All,

You can own a canon or noncanon shop in Diagon Alley, Knockturn Alley, or Hogsmeade!  

The shops have all been listed in alphabetical order so that the shops are easier to find.

Canon shops are available for ownership/management by players.  Until such time as a business is owned by a member, the admin team will serve as the temporary manager for that shop.  

A couple of important things to remember, though:
First, you must show activity in your shop.  You must show interest in your own business or no one else will.  At least do some IC posting there yourself.  Any shop without activity for 90 days will be deleted.

Second, please keep your inventory fresh, particularly if you do a seasonal sort of a business.  A change often generates new business.

Come claim your shop now!

IMPORTANT!:  NO MORE THAN 2 OF EACH KIND OF BUSINESS--2 BOOKSTORES, TWO OF THE SAME KIND OF RESTAURANT, 2 APOTHECARIES, 2 BARS, ETC.  TRY TO BE ORGINAL IN THE KIND OF BUSINESS YOU DESIGN, PLEASE.  

If you want to own a  shop, here's what you do:
1.)  Reserve your shop here.  Once we have approved that, go to Step 2.  
2.)  Copy the form below and apply for what you want to sell, how much, etc.  Remember, you can have only 5 catagories of goods in your shop, but within that, please feel free to be as creative as you like.
3.)  Once that is approved, go to the shop and make your introductory post there that welcomes customers, with your price list attached.  Alert us when that is done so we can "sticky" it for you.  Feel free to include graphics, colorful fonts, all sorts of creativity to make your shop more inviting for others.
4. ) Just a hint from my own personal experience--Please check your "stickied" threads (and your shop)  regularly.  They are easy to forget, and, as in my own experience, I have had "specials" become semi permanent.  LOL.

okay. i added the shop. you need to now go to some of the other shops and see how they're set up on the boards and put up any permanent threads or notices and then ask one of us to "sticky" them for you so that they show up. you do need to make those posts as mystique for obvious reasons, though

added. and yes, its 5 catagories but you can have large subcategories. what about supplies: vases and pots--from elegant crystal to hand thrown stoneware from local artisans? garden ornaments--magical or nonmagical--fountains, magical garden lighting, decorative figurines, etc? plant foods? etc?
