my profile pic ?

Is it better to use a profile pic of what you sell or a pic of the seller. :) also would love feedback on my shop

I've heard both, but I prefer to use a picture of what I sell. People can see a picture of me if they go on my profile, I would rather just show a picture of my items.

I have heard both as well. I hear that having a photo of yourself conveys a more personal message. Like you are actually a real person selling items rather than a store with no face. I feel like when customers are talking with me, they feel more comfortable that I am a real person and can see my picture.

Hey there!

I agree with Sophie, I think both can work. For us, because there's two of us, it's just easier with our little "logo"/talk bubble (which ties in with our shop name and theme). I think a (good) picture of the artist is personable and nice when the shop is doing well.

At this point in our shop's life, we've only made about 30 sales, so I don't feel like people would care what we look like. I just think for us (I think it's different for each shop), we are able to convey the personal but professional touches in other ways, rather than through our one profile picture.

Kathrine, you've got some really cool items! My one suggestion would be to concentrate on your pictures, especially since your items are so visual. I have been trying to concentrate on bettering my pictures and I've been playing around with PhotoFuze. However, I don't think PhotoFuze would work in your case. For your pieces, I think photographing them in a soft, natural light would really do them justice and make the colors pop even more! :)

Hope this was helpful!
