Marketing Tips?

[Former_Member]

What are your best tips for a new seller? I opened my shop a few weeks ago and I am not entirely sure how to get sales. Or well, views even...

I started contacting a few bloggers/vloggers to see if I could create custom cards for them just in hopes to get my product out there, but I feel like I am working backwards.

If you have any tips, it would be greatly appreciated.

Your cards are beautiful! I love the gold embossing.

I'm not great at outside marketing myself. Everything good that has happened to my shop happened sort of by accident. But I work at my shop a little everyday, so maybe that's my best advice.

I do, however, have some ways you can improve views:

1. Add more to your title descriptions. Think of what words a buyer might type in the box above to find items like yours. Then,
2. Repeat some of those key words in your tags.
3. Your tags should be multiple words. (wedding card, mr and mrs card, hand embossed, gold embossing, etc.)
4. Your cards are so elegant, but the background you're using isn't. It might be difficult to find a background that white cards will photograph well on, and that might be a question for another thread.

I hope this helps!

Adyan --

It was definitely not an accident. I just checked out your site and fell in love. I am definitely keeping you in mind for when I have children!

And thank you so much for your input! These are great tips. I am going to update my titles right now!

Allison,
Your shop is adorable! I love the embossed lettering! The key to getting views is your tags, look up the seo team they have some helpful articles. Also listing new items at least once a week helps to get new views. Custom orders is about half of my business, you can put in your listing that you welcome custom order and you will get all sorts of hits. One other Idea that would be beautiful is save the date cards in the embossing, that is also a HUGE market with tons of views a day! Hope that helps.
