What am I doing wrong?

[Former_Member]

42 days with 632 views, 65 favorites and yet to taste success. While I am still not discouraged, I am worried why the sale is not happening. On an average 15 views to my shop/listings on a daily basis i believe is not a bad hit ratio but the strike rate so far has been zero.

Am I doing something wrong?? Is it something that is discouraging people to buy what we have on offer?

Wish someone can guide me on it.

You aren't doing anything wrong. You haven't even been open 2 months and many people do not see a sale that quickly (or even for much longer). I would suggest making your titles longer and more descriptive -- use some of the words you use as tags for the item to add to the title (basically work on SEO. There are a lot of good articles and youtube videos that talk about Etsy SEO).

Also make sure you put dimensions for items like this:

People like to know how big an item is before they buy. Same goes for all jewelry items, and if you can, have jewelry items on a model in at least 1 pic.

Good luck!

This is a great thread with the title "tips for the question 'what am I doing wrong' ".

It's definitely worth a look for even more experienced sellers. Best of luck!

I think it would be great if you showed photos of the lamps in a darker room with them lit, so we can see the ambiance you're referring to.

Thank you Bee, Annie and Kathryn,

Kathryn, We tried that but the pics were not coming to our liking. Hence did not upload them. We are learning how to get the best possible outcome from a normal Digital Camera. Hopefully we should soon have better pics of lit lamps.

THanks for your encouragement and feedback :)

It would be nice to know what items are made of. The pendant, Ganesha, for example - your description doesn't include the materials used.

Hi, Harmeet, beautiful work!

I looked at this gorgeous pendant. What is the painting on--metal? (what kind?) Wood? Is the paint acrylic or oil? It looks very large--maybe your could have a little ruler by the pendant in one photo. Also, you could have one photo of the back.

Good luck!

Thank you Laura Teague. That is very important feedback. We will ensure that we include the material description as well.

Thank you Bev, We somehow missed adding the ruler to the pics. It was discussed, but somehow did not happen during pic session.

I think these are 2 very important points which can definitely make decision making easier for the buyer.

Thanks once again.
