What do I need to change or fix?

What exactly is wrong with my shop? I get a lot of views but have not had a sale in months. Also people are favoriting my items but still no sales! I switched pricing around added an about page and added sizing.

Please let me know what I should change or fix!
Thank you, Fungoody

Re: What do I need to change or fix?

Hi Anna!

Your headbands are very cute and I'm sure you will start selling them soon! I think you probably need some more inventory in your shop, more designs or maybe something besides headbands. Maybe you can add some other hair accessories? Also pictures are so important the more professional looking the better.

The about page is very important so it's good you added that but you also need shop policies! People may not want to buy if they don't know the complete process of the sale, possible returns, etc. you must be thorough. Next big thing is being social. Be active in the groups win etsy and be extra active on social media. Pinterest works for a lot of people, i love Instagram and Twitter.

Hope this helps, best of luck to you!

Hi Anna,
I think your headbands are super cute!

My suggestion is that, may be you could work on making the shop looks more cohesive, so that it will look more professional.

You already have adorable kids to pose for you, so may be try and get the same angle for all the featured photos. I was looking for an example of a shop for you, and I found this one in my favorite shops list -

And yes, also, add more items. What I've learnt so far from selling on here is that you need to have a lot of inventory. Even if your two listings are very similar (like different colors), it actually makes a difference in sale.

I hope that helps.

Best of luck,
Khin

I agree with Khin - you need more items but also more types of items. Your tags are also very weak and in some cases redundant. You have "accessories" as a tag. If you type that into search it returns nearly 4 MILLION items. That tag is not doing you any good.

You also have no shop policies so people have no idea what to expect.

Re: What do I need to change or fix?

Hi Anna, (sorry for the testament!)

Every one gave great tips, and I agree that you must put more items on your store, at least one full page for start, I've learned that the more you got the more exposure you get.
See what other stores that sales items like yours do, look for the best ones.
On your about page put some "behind the scenes" photos or "work in progress".
You should also improve the banner and listing photos and get the store more cohesive, like it was said before.
You should think about sell out of US, and reach international sales.
In some listing you don't put the materials used and in other you only put fabric but I see elastic on the items, I think it's important to put it all because it helps on SEO, I think.

On this item, for example your title: "Beautiful Dark Blue Headband!"

www.etsy.com/listing/190284575

I suggest - Blue square pattern headband
or something like this, you need to use key words, no one look for "beautiful" something, they look for specific items, colors, shapes, patterns, you need to look to your items and see what you can say about:
- WHAT IS IT?
- AND MORE PRECISELY?
- WHO IS IT FOR?
- MATERIALS
- COLOURS
- TECHNIQUE, METHOD
- PLACE AND CONTEXT OF USE
- SIZE
- STYLE
- PATTERN, IMAGES
- ERA
- ASSOCIATED OCCASION

say the most importante on title, and repeat on descriptions and use sinonyms also.

And also very important you need to be more social on etsy, your store have a few months and you and your store don't have followers this way people won't find you, you need to show you are here, there are thousands of stores...
You aren't joined yet to promotion teams you really should.

hope this helps, we are allways learning in a few months you'll be helping us ;)
