I need help getting my shop started

[CaliAndCo]

I just opened recently. I'm new to Etsy so I don't know much about it. I've gotten a few sales so I guess I'm off to a pretty good start. My views and favorites have gone down since I opened though. I guess my question is how do I keep getting sales and how do I get exposure? Is there anything I need to fix in my shop?

Congratulations on your new shop! Your photos are great but your tags, titles and descriptions need to have the same words so people can find your beautiful items.

Add upgrades to your shipping profiles to streamline your customers' checkout.

How much pressure does it take to pull the breakaway ends apart?

Good luck!

Thank you for the helpful information. I will work on that. It doesn't take much pressure to get the breakaway buckle to come apart. If the cat gets stuck on anything the collar will breakaway without too much effort. It holds strong enough that the collar will stay on unless it needs to come off. If you were to pull it apart by hand it would come apart with a pretty gentle yank. They are high quality buckles that are designed for the safety and durability.

Hi CC!
I'd recommend photo work when you get time :)
They're really tiny on many listings. Try to use all 5 photo spaces too, include close ups & details. Can you show what the collars look like being worn?
Add your location to the front page so you come up in local searches, & preferance is also aparently given to shops with an About Page, so pop that on your to do list ;)
Deffo agree with bev re the tags & titles. Really important aspect

Good Luck! Have fun!

If you just opened and already have had a few sales then you are off to a fantastic start! Don't get discouraged by slumps in sales-these are normal and we all experience them. There is little rhyme or reason to it so don't make it question yourself. Personally, I've found the online labs extremely helpful and there's a lot of labs that address the very things you've mentioned. So definitely start watching them and take notes. :.)
