Your banner has a different name than your shop name. Also your shop name would suggest you sell primarily doll clothes, but when I look at your shop I see mostly crocheted toys and baby shoes. All of this is quite confusing.

Do you subscribe to search ads? I do! I started in Jan 2012 and I have over 2700 sales!

I started at $7 a week, now I am paying etsy $200 week for search ads because I can afford to.

Gotta spend money to make it!

Good Luck!

I get over 8,000 views.

I'd revise your tags and titles, this will help you: http://www.etsy.com/blog/en/2012/how-to-get-found-in-search/

As above, your banner is different to your shop name.

You have really cute items and along with the advice above, I'd recommend using a white poster board to photograph your items on for consistancy & focus. Take these cute booties, the last picture is very clear but the first 4 are out of focus. I'd start with 5 of your best items, and retake at least the thumbnail of each one and continually work until all your items are reshot.

Try improving your photos.

You have some neutral and negative feedback. You do have a lot of positive feedback as well. Try improving customer service and think about what you did that made those transactions with customers happy. I understand that customer service can be a difficult thing.

Hi Mary,

Cute items. What struck me looking through your shop though is that the pics quality is not very good. Many pics are out of focus and that does not help to show your items at their best. I think it would pay to spend some time redoing your pics and editing them a bit so that they look a bit more professional.

To make sales, need to have traffic. Get folks excited about your stuffs. Can I be very honest here. High possibility... I won't click on your listings. I will pass right through your pictures.

The pictures don't catch my attention. And my attention span is super short. I have hundreds of things to do in a day, drama queen here :-). When I shop, I shop fast. I bet most shoppers are like me.

Great pictures are only part of the deal. But its quite a huge deal.

Love your bears. So cute!!

* I am not saying top of the line pics will get sales... but its a good start. A really good start

Titles and tags need works. I like long titles, some folks don't. But theirs work too. So I'd say experiment until you get a feel of what works and what doesn't... for you. There is an Etsy manual on how to optimize your titles and tags, take great pics and such. Under your account, "Seller Handbook" Full of great tips. I haven't get to it yet. I read here and there, its good... really helpful

Yes, I would agree w/ what others said. the first things people see, obviously, is the photo. The photo is everything! Work on imporving these. Try some neutral backgrounds. Or try some w/ models, whatever reflects your style, but stay consistsent. Make sure your images are sharp and the color is as true to life and you can get it.

Keep trying, good product!
