Featured items

[Former_Member]

I'm normally quite good at deciding which items to feature in my shop, but this season it's doing my head in! I have that many items that I want in those 4 little boxes, but alas....

How often do you change yours around? I might have to alternate them two or three time a week to get them all in over the course of a week. Argh!

I only have a few items, but I think changing them around is a great idea! U don't see why that would hurt. :) Glad you are making so many great things that you love!

You want to use your bestselling products OR the products you'd like to become your bestsellers.
You don't need to have all of your products in there, just the ones that will grab the attention of potential buyers.

Now and then I change them round, when I add something new or when I get bored of them! I try and have something seasonal and also a range of price points in my featured items.

We change ours about once a month. Unless we are running a 'clearance' event, in which case it would be 2-3 times in that month to get those clearance items featured.

I change mine quite often, because I use them for my FB page and Twitter.
I arrange them according to some theme, take screen shot and post, tweet, pin.

Some Examples:

Etc.

They are like mini-treasuries that I create from my own items.

I don't know if it hurts my items in some way to be shuffled in the Featured section. May be I shouldn't do it?
Until now I had fun doing that and got some visits from Facebook.
:D

I prefer not to change them (unless something sold out, or I want to promote a new product).

Look at it as a shop window in a b&m store.
Some stores change it often, others keep it pretty much the same.
And we have our banner as part of the shop window, which we can change too.

I feature two best sellers and two seasonal items. I change the seasonal items as...the season approaches! Or as the holiday draws near.

The one best seller, well that item is half my sales, so it's not likely to change soon! The other one I change every month or so. Just kinda when I notice another big hump in sales for a particular item.
