Suggestions

[ByBrendasHand]

I have been on Etsy since September 2014, and I would welcome all suggestions that anyone might have as to photos, tags, descriptions, etc.

If you could take a look at my shop and tell me what I could do to improve, I would be thrilled. Thanks!

Hi Brenda --

Congrats on 7 sales in only a few months! Here are some suggestions for you to help you do even better:

1. Lighten up your photos.

2. Rethink your shop sections. I don't think people search for, or know what "prim" is. Also, "gingerbread" might be misleading.

3. Make use of all four featured item spots.

4. Add as many more items as you can manage.

5. SEO, SEO, SEO. Yours is terrible. Learn it and use it! (Again, though I haven't researched it, I don't think most people know what "prim" is, let aloe use it as a search term.) The Relevancy & SEO team is a great place to learn it. Without good SEO, you'll never be found in a crowded market.

Good luck!

Change "prim" to primitive. Use it in all your tags that are relevant - thats a good hot buzzword for your SEO. Use folk art, and make a lightbox out of white foamcore from the dollar store as your background.
The cloth is still absorbing too much light.

Also dump a ton of light on your items.

Good Luck
