Totally lost

I don't know where my writing ability went, but I'm having a world of trouble coming up with the policies and writing listing copy for lixhewettdesign.etsy.com! I'm offering shop banners & graphics, logo design, catalog and look book design, flyers, posters, business cards… All the good stuff. If you were looking for this sort of thing, what would you look for in the listing? What would you expect to see? I just need something to get me started. I'd really love to have a page of listings by… well, tomorrow, because it's my birthday and that seems like a nice deadline, right? /o\ But I'm totally freaking blocked.

Start with the specs. You can get all the required sizes and such by looking at the Etsy specifications and standard print sizes, etc. Talk about how a back-and-forth collaboration with a customer would go. Your personality will show up eventually, then you'll have to go back and edit a bit. But just get something written to get started.

Thanks! You'd think I'd have an easier time doing this than I did writing my photography listings — I have done graphic design work for clients and already know what I'm doing. (Um, I know what I'm doing with my photography, too, but I've learned a LOT about printing since I opened my shop.)
