PLEASE HELP - Only 1 sale in 6 months

[MrClumsys]

Hi! We opened our shop in March 2015, and we had only one sale. We tried everything, from changing pictures, banners, descriptions, coupon codes, treasuries and teams... Problem is that we cannot see what is wrong with our shop, and why we do not get sales.
Please, help us with your opinions and comments.
Thanks!

hi
the first thing i noticed when i went to your shop was the number of items you have. 14 is not much. i´d even say it´s too little to get noticed at all.
your pics are good, your descriptions are detailed and you have measurements in inch and cm.
try to stock up as much as possible so you´ll have more chances to get noticed.
all the best

I agree ..I started with only 10 items and was barely getting noticed.. I've since added more, arond 30 now and things are starting to pick up. Your items are unique but if you have a greater selection I'msure you'll do well. Good luck

You have some really unique items! However, with this listing in particular, the beauty of your product lost in the clutter and cats. Definitely retake this asap.

After doing some looking, you really need to take away clutter from several of your photos. At the very least, make sure your thumbnail photo is of the item only. Then there is no confusion on what is being sold. This is another example:

And lastly, just continue to add items. Good luck!

I totally agree with the above comments. Think about when you go to the store. Do you shop at a store with only 11 items in it? And even if you did drop in once, how often would you return?

I also wouldn't bother with sales, promos, free shipping, etc. It never seems to help much. Since the items we make here on etsy are not found in every box store in every city, I don't think customers are looking for THE SALE to sway them into buying.

Good luck.

Just my opinion, but your shop name is a little off putting to me. It's cutesy, but clumsy does not suggest a well made product to me.

You SEO (search engine optimization) needs a lot of work. Your first 3 words in your description should describe your product as your customer would search for it, also repeat those word in your tags . There are some really good SEO teams here to learn from.

You only accept PayPay thereby limiting your customers to PayPal users.

Clean crisp photos make a huge difference on getting people in your shop.

At 50 items my sales started coming in, and at 100 items my sales were fairly steady.

You should try to add new items often to stay relevant. Good Luck!
