This is my third day back and what I've noticed is that the announcements seem to always be there. Honestly it's more annoying than helpful. I as a customer would rather see the new items in maybe a weekly announcement. Excludes events and limited time only items.
You could have fun with it. Make it look like a sale magazine. You can even get gaians into it, could have weekly people featured randomly on the magazine. Maybe saying quotes that the user would recommend.
You could even have a coupon thing. I could come up with a few idea's but lets keep this short. People could work for a discount. Even if the item costs more than you was originally going to sell it for. In my belief you would sell more if people was thinking they was getting a deal. Ofc it's not a lie, if you didn't work for the coupon you would have to pay wholesale.

@Gaia: Protip: quality > quantity. I stopped reading due to low quality announcements.

I have many ideas. Not all of them will increase sales, but would increase popularity. Which in the end, COULD increase sales.
Other than advertising ALL the announcements they could have a place on the top where the background picture behind your avi is. Say on the side, saying NEW! Check me out! Blah. All I know is the announcements is getting old, QUICK.
