Grand Opening and Major Shop Critique

Ok, so I opened my shop a few weeks ago but now I am having my grand opening NOVEMBER 6 - 10 , 2014!!!
I delayed the grand opening so that I could get my shop set up and list a lot of listings!!
Now that I have most everything but a few little things done...I was wondering if a few of y'all could do a major critique of my shop and help me get it perfect for the grand opening!!
If you could help me I would be soooo grateful!!
I'm sure there are things I don't see....feel free to point anything out (good or bad)!!
Your opinion very welcome!!

In the 4th photo of your listings (I only checked a couple but I assume mostly they are the same), you have a size comparison chart for the different print sizes.

It is not to scale. The 16" x 24" should be 1/3 taller than the 12" x 18", but it is only a bit taller; the 12" x 18" should be only 1/5 taller than the 10" x 15", but it is almost twice as tall.

I think you off to a great start ! I like the idea of the wood paneling to give your shop it's own unique feel but I seems to distract from your photos. I would love to see a larger shot of your photos and less wood. First glance at your shop what stands out most is the wood.

Hope this helps : )

I also find the background very distracting, It's pretty but takes away from the photos. I have found that most photography prints shop keep a cohesive look by using the same style overlay/colors to their photos. If you do decide to keep it, I would mute out the background a bit more so it is not so saturated against your photo.
Your photography is lovely, I would hate to see your items looked over in a search result due to being hard to see.

I have also noticed you tend to repeat key words over and over, for example your Ford Truck Print. You use the word "photography or photograph" a lot. You could use other key words like "rustic" "home decor" "teal and gold" etc...

I love the way you demonstrate sizes! Your packaging is also very nice, how much does it cost per piece to package each print in a box with tissue and a card? Does it cut into profit? Does it help set you apart from other shops?

Just throwing some questions out there, some suggestions, and wish you the best of luck!
