If you have a few minutes...

I would greatly appreciate it if some of you could critique my shop if you have a few minutes. I opened my shop a little over 3 weeks ago and have only had 11 sales. Feedback and criticism is welcome on anything...layout, items, prices, photography, etc. etc. Thank you so much!

Re: If you have a few minutes...

I would take photographs using the same background for your items. Will make your shop look more cohesive. Also, putting your shop name in the banner will be more eye catching. Love your photographs!!! Maybe move them up to the top? Great shop. 11 sales is great for 3 weeks! I've had my shop for little over 3 years, it's always a learning process!

Re: If you have a few minutes...

Hello Chrissy,

I think your product photography can be improved. Presently the photos are rather dim, and I think with natural light, the colours of your products would show up so much better.

Take some time to fill out your policies. That would give customers more confidence knowing about your shipping (do you combine shipping), refund policies, etc. Same goes with your shop announcement and "About" section under Info and Appearance. They tell your customer a bit about your shop, products and how your work is special.

I would like to caution you about using mickey mouse unless you have permission from Disney to use this shape/trademark. It's copyright matters and it's serious. Small companies, including Etsy shops, have been caught and they get into big trouble. It's probably a good idea to remove them.

Good luck! You've done really well with sales since opening! Congrats!

Oh my gosh, yes to the Disney advice. If etsy legal team deactivates all your Disney stuff you won't be left with much and you will have wasted a lot of time and money. Even the distinctive mouse shape is a no-no. Really focus on your own designs and you will be safe.
