Today's shop for the Front Page Push is TheGoodSteward. Blair is a collector of vintage items and he is selling these items in his Etsy shop called TheGoodSteward. Blair opened his shop on October 2, 2014. He is still feeling his way around and needs to stock his shop for the up coming holiday rush. Stop by and show his shop some AAA Support Team love and maybe offer some keywords to help sell this 1976 American Bicentennial glass below. Welcome to the Team Blair!

Faved! Blair, you want to fill your shop as soon as possible. The more items you have, the more easily you'll be found, and the greater a chance at a sale. Good luck to you!

Blair, you've got a lot of enthusiasm. I love the name of your shop. Would love to see you expand your profile to include what kind of writer and musician you are. What do you write - lyrics, poetry, short stories, etc. What instrument do you play? How did you get interested in collectibles?

Also, would you ever reconsider your policies on Returns? Some folks are overly cautious about purchasing from vendors who don't offer returns. Here on Etsy, returns are rare, but when they do occur, usually all goes very smoothly. I couldn't give you this advice on eBay. Returns on eBay are a death knell for sellers there. Not kidding.

Good luck with your shop, Blair. Looking forward to seeing more of "your stuff." :)

Thank you! I've updated my profile, I hope it's better. EBay is actually what killed it for me on the returns. My shop name is actually just a play on my last name so I got lucky lol. I think I'll do some picking today and get some more colors for my vinyl in order to stock up. Thanks all, this is a God send keep it rolling!

defo more 'stuff' and maybe less background that doesn't relate to the item, good clear photos:)
I am still learning each day and must rewrite my policies and OMG those darn tags :(((

I don't know about the US policies on returns so not able to help there sorry.

I've been blowing up Twitter and this team as far as promotion goes. Any other sites that work well?

Excellent! I plan on offering my vinyls in different colors but I'm not sure which ones I should invest in. I thought gold would be a safe bet in reference to a "record going gold", I'd love to find a site for quality promotion, this team is incredible. Also, has anyone invested any daily money in the promotion through this site?

Hi Blair,
I'm trying out paid promo ads this week...has netted me two great sales so far and a lot more views. You need tons more items in your store. When I started everyone said the magic number was 100 items. Think of each item as a door to your store, the more you have (and variety counts), the more opportunities for shoppers to see your goods. Your policies could use some more meat. Not much there to instill buyer confidence. Look at the polices of similar stores to get an idea of what you should include / exclude. Photos - crisp and clean. Try buying a few pieces of white poster board and create a three sided cube (bottom and two sides), place item in cube with light flooding in through the open side.
Best of luck to you.
Faved your items and store.

Blair, my advice is to get as many items in your shop as you can. I love the cups, but the photos are just a bit dark. Your tags look very good. Keep listing and never give up. It takes a while to get sales. You're definitely on the right track.
