Introducing The New About Page For Your Shop

[#1]

Hi sellers!

We've long ago established that telling your story on Etsy (of your product, of yourself, and of your shop) is incredibly important. Today we launched a dedicated place in your shop where you can share your story with the world. In your shop’s new About page you can add pictures of your process and talk through the special details that set your shop apart. You can learn more and see some examples of this page in action, here:

http://www.etsy.com/blog/news/2012/introducing-an-about-page-for-your-shop/

So now that you have this blank slate, how do you go about telling your story? Before you pull your hair out, check out the following resources for tips and best practices to apply when storytelling:

- Tips for Your Shop’s About Page: http://www.etsy.com/blog/en/2012/tips-for-your-shops-about-page/
- Why Your Product and Profile Need a Compelling Story (watch the video!): http://www.etsy.com/blog/en/2012/why-your-profile-and-product-need-a-compelling-story/

Have you published yours yet? Do share a link to your shop’s About page when you’ve finished it. We can’t wait to read your story, and we might just might share a few of our favorite pages on Twitter!

I love the About page feature! I love being able to add such a personal touch to my shop.

Had sooo much fun doing this!!

Went a little crazy while doing it... but hey, who needs sanity!

I have to admit I copied the text from my profile and moved it here, I felt my profile already had the info I wanted to share with visitors.

I don't like to have content duplicated across my shop so I replaced my profile with a short paragraph and added the link to the about page.

I wonder how do you manage both to be different... the profile and about page...

I have spent the last hour drinking my morning coffee and enjoying browsing the "about" pages of my fellow Etsians.
Oh, and the furry shop assistants? Too cute!
Here is my page. Thanks for looking:

omg - such beautiful "about" the artist you all have!!!
I am inspired and a bit intimidated, where do I start and does my story and pics even land in the same class as you people? this is what I love about the artist community I find on etsy - it stretches my comfort level to new heights. Thank you to etsy for providing this feature, and to my fellow artists to rising to the occasion so wonderfully

[OwlPudding]

Very cool! Makes my shop a little more personal.

[inthegan]

Thank you very grateful! The new 'about' page got me to finally write something I've wanted to since I started selling on Etsy.

I love this new feature! It's so much fun to "peek" into everyone's shops! I can see that mine still needs a little tweaking, but I had fun putting it together today:
