Help... Advice on my store

[Former_Member]

Need help, I have not made any sales and just need advice on what I need to do?
I know I am busy, but I have a lot of ready to ship items and custom items to sale. But I seem not to make any sales. Not sure where to do?

You have a really cute shop! I do a little advertising on a site called backpage.com... it's super cheap and I think it has brought a little trafic to my shop. Make sure you put yourself out there, hearts, favorites, circles and make treasuries(make sure you contact and tell each shop they're in the treasury) and in return they might use you in theirs. If a treasury make to the home page...BINGO!, it's like the lottery! I myself have never made the home page, but came third from top!, lots of trafic and exciting! Don't give up! Good luck to you!

Your items are so pretty and you have a nice price range, so I think your sales will come. Try putting in your shop policies

[Former_Member]

What do you mean by shop policies?

[Former_Member]

go to Your account, then down the left hand side you'll see shop settings. click info and appearance. Then you'll see three tabs. Info, sections, policies. Fill out all this stuff... The more info the customer has the more confident they are with buying from you.

Good luk, keep your chin up!

I just made my first sale so I'm busy making pee pee in my pants!

hehehehee

Just not really making any money after my shipping quote was too low...

[Former_Member]

Yes that needs to be fix. (Most of my things can fit in USPS pre-price boxes, If I can get it lower I will send funds back to the buyer.

Hi KomunyakaDesign! You're off to a great start. One recommendation I have is that your banner title looks a bit stretched and is a bit hard to read - perhaps a different font? Also, for some of your products you include the materials in the description, but for instance, I think the dino blankets description would benefit from a line like "Made of a cotton knit with __ embroidery thread" or something similar. For your breast cancer blankets, do you donate a portion of the proceeds to a breast cancer charity? If so, that's worth mentioning in the description. Best of luck to you!!

Vintiques, Thanks for the info on backstage.com. I am going to post an ad on that and hope for a few clicks.

I love your items! Sooo cute! The only thing i'd say is iron your products and try taking your pictures outside in natural lighting. :)

[Former_Member]

Now that the weather is getting nicer I will. And yes I know better and will iron my products. And I am fixing my header write now. :)

I like your shop and your items. I think maybe the banner print should be a little bigger. As a former English teacher, I did notice some grammatical errors which you should clean up. Mine aren't perfect either as I sometimes find my own errors, but I did see a number of yours. Feel free to email me or convo me if you'd like some help.
Good luck!

do you ship outside the US? that's another selling point. i'm from the UK, and wouldn't necessarily want to buy something because it looks like you don't ship anywhere else.

i just had my first sale this morning, keep persevering, it will pay off in the end (:

I agree with OliverWave about ironing your products and taking your pictures in natural lighting.

Also, use all 5 photo slots and all 14 tags in your listings. Some of your listings only have 10 tags used. Using great descriptive tags will help buyers find you.

Good luck! :)
