Hi! Shop critique

[HandmadeDecoupage]

Hello again! I just recently asked you all what tips you have for me as I am a newcomer to this site. Now I got on with my store and I'd like you to give me some critique, as I see other members make threads about them! :)

Hi Inese!

Your shop is really warm and inviting. Your pictures are interesting and well-photographed.

What I was told when I joined Etsy was to strive to increase the number of items in my store -- apparently 100 is the magic number that will see your sales rise dramatically! I'm at 71, so I'm nearly there!

Good luck!!

100 items! That's alot! I will definitely now set my goal to that ! Thanks for the advise! :)

I'm working to that goal too, Inese! I looked at your site and it's really beautiful. In some of the photos, though, I found it hard to figure out what was the item for sale and what were just the props, from just a surface glance! I've been advised by others to simplify the backdrops in my own photos, and keep it uniform. Hope it helps!

Thank you, Laura! I will keep that in mind when I do my next shoot! :)

Hi Inese :)

Hi Inese!

I'm at the same stage as you. Just a case of filling up the shop with loads of items.

Your shop is beautiful and I especially loved the vintage clock - but just one thing - there wasn't much of a description about it and I don't know what materials it's made from.

Best of luck - Belinda

Hi everyone again! I've upgraded my store, I'd like to receive a new critique, because I have no sales far :/

Well, I don't have any advice really except I do love your shop and your pictures are great. I didn't see it before the upgrade, but it looks good now. I especially love the tea boxes.
