Hey,
I thought it might be a good idea to post a link to your Etsy shop and then other members can click on the shop and appraise it for you! By which I mean leave replies telling you what they think is good about it and where they think improvements can be made. I hope this idea will be beneficial to other members of this team (as well as myself) in improving your Etsy stores.
A bit of a background about myself: I've been selling on Etsy for a couple of months now so I'm still in the very early stages of my 'business' (having only made 12 sales so far) and I've been tweaking my listings here and there, trying to improve my pictures, descriptions, key words, titles, etc. I've also been advertising in a few different ways; utilising the advertising feature on Etsy, Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest but still need to do a lot of work on those as I haven't had much luck so far (except for the Etsy promotions which seem to be getting me the most sales).
To start this discussion please leave a link to your shop and I will take a look at it for you and come back to you with what I think works, as well as changes that you might be able to implement to improve your store. I will try to use your store as if I were a customer so that I can give a real opinion that will hopefully reflect what shoppers will be thinking when they visit your Etsy shop. Others please join in with the comments and we can all give each other ideas on where we can improve. I'd also love to hear what everyone thinks of my store and any negative or positive comments/suggestions would be much appreciated.
Lets get started!

Amazing work and lot's of patience. I would do some of pictures for each listing outside, somewhere in nature or in the city, if that's possible.
Also I would think of international shipping option as well.
Hello Denholme,
Interesting idea and appreciate. Lets build together...... I went through your shop and start following.
To be honest, if I look on your page as a customer I do not think I would expect anything else. You are doing a good job over there.
May be you can place a ruler along the card to give some first sight impression about the size of the card?

Thanks for surfing on my online shop and watching our video.
Thanks Denholme for posting this! I think it's a great idea! I am also new to Etsy and have been trying to find ways to improve my shop as I go along. I would appreciate any and all feedback.
I think you are doing an excellent job so far! Your photos are consistent and well presented. Maybe add some kind of about yourself? People like a good origin story so they can connect with your brand better and give them more of a reason to buy.

Thanks!
I am following you already and like the conception of your shop - clear presentation.
I think it would be great to see bandanas and bow ties on real models for all listings - first 3 randomly picked did not have photos with a dog wearing them. But that's just my opinion.
Thanks so much for your feedback! I am working towards having all my photos on a live model. I do not have a dog of my own so it's a bit challenging for me.
Hi everyone! Such a great idea!
We opened our shop this year - we are aware that we have mainly "hard" products - some of them heavy, it's food that demands double trust from customers, but any feedback would be so much appreciated.

Thanks!
Your shop is beautiful! Amazing imagery, laid out very well. I see no issues with your shop.
Thank you so much!
