How about one store with separate brands? Similar to the Ferrero Group or GM. Would something like that meet the needs?

This is not a new request at all. I've been in SL for over 20 years, and we have been asking for the ability to manage multiple brands/stores under a single account for a long time. It really isn't that big of a development task and would drastically help with organization, as well as marketing, as many people become turned off when they are interested in one type of product, and are confronted with what they feel is a disorganized collection of items they might be interested in, and a bunch of stuff they have no interest in at all. Creators tend to have a wide range of tastes, and forcing them to have only one store, means a lot of times they either hassle with running multiple accounts, passing creations to secondary accounts to post to unique stores (which is a big hassle), or they simply give up and focus on one type of creation, which many times leaves them burnt out, and can cause them to give up entirely. And as someone else pointed out, a creator may want to work on content of different levels of maturity rating. Having the ability to easily manage multiple stores, allows them to group content by age appropriateness, so each level of shopper has a better shopping experience. The marketplace already displays Store Name by User Name, and almost implies the structure is half there. Such a small development change, would make a huge positive impact for the people who keep SL fresh and new with their creations. Please consider implementing this change.

PLS PLS PLS; this is a MUST!!! , many of us (builders & creators) make many diferent things, as in RL we make very hard marketing too to build up brands, then for instance, in my shop I have from vehicles to adult animatios all the way to clothes and my MP page despite I care much about branding , is starting to look like kind of OUTLET!!!, and I deny to use diferent avatars since my main account has a reputation buided up within more than a Decade and is well known in the SL comunity, something cannot be face with an alter account. pls pls pls work on that!!

Are we really asking for creation of a new type of SL account called "Business?" It wouldnt even be under an avatar; this is a RL-human-based account for the purpose of owning stores in the MP. Certainly it would be required that said human also have an inworld avatar account, but this really happens outside.

(Ever visit the Anshe Chung Website? http://anshechung.com/ is the front end of a vast network of businesses spread across multiple virtual worlds. What's being discussed in this thread is having multiple SL businesses all under the Marketplace umbrella.)

Doing a Website of your own is another way to go about it. I have only one business but my Website gives me total control of content and organization. It could easily accommodate more businesses.

This is really THE feature i've expected the most, as a seller. i sell both PG items and adult items. It makes little sense to have so different items in one same store.

And i don't want to use 2 avatars. The main reason is that i am online about 12 hours / day with my avatar, and the customers love when they get a reply on the spot when they report a problem. I don't want to be logged with 2 different avatars all the time.

Multiple stores could be handled with the current system of MP listings. Instead of one long list of our MP listings there could be top level system folders for each store under a single alt, all of the items stored inside those system folders would appear in their respective stores. Departments, same thing, upper level system folders one per department under a store, with the contents automatically populating out under store and department. There could, of course, be limits to how many stores/departments could be created. That would be reasonable so that people do not go overboard.

In the marketplace if someone clicks your name to see your profile the page could show the different stores and their respective departments and the user to click the links to drill down into what they want.

please yes

I would love this feature so much if it were implemented. It would enable creators to make new things in a way that improves the customer's experience, by organizing their products in different shops, instead of having a single shop with all sorts of random items, which just makes it harder for shoppers to find what they need. For instance: one shop for clothes, one shop for furniture, one shop for hairstyles.

I really hope they give us this option someday.

We have been asking for this feature for years now. The oldest forum post I am aware of is from January 2020 (https://community.secondlife.com/forums/topic/448241-multiple-marketplace-stores3), but I believe it was requested many times via the old Jira system for years before that. With the state of the Marketplace nowadays, we had better pray it will work properly than expect some more significant changes than text fonts. The problem is that Linden Lab is trying to 'improve' something they obviously don't understand, and more often than not, they are deaf to any constructive suggestions and reasoning.

As much as I would love to see the multi-store on one account feature, my hopes are close to none.
