Any ideas on why I keep getting denied?

So -- I've submitted to Heartsy twice. The first time I got enough votes and was denied by Heartsy. The second time I didn't get enough votes.

I have really good traffic in my shop, good sales, good photos and a full shop (in my opinion anyway, lol!). One thing I don't have is product variety. I just sell headbands - that's it.

I really would like to be on Heartsy though, mainly because I really want the extra exposure.

Do any of you (perhaps people who have gotten further in the process than I have), have any ideas on why I'm not doing well with Heartsy? Lay it on me - I can take it!!

Not really sure why you wouldn't be getting picked. I love your headbands and would love to have a voucher for them. I get the e-mails but so far have not seen anything I want to buy.
I would love to see your shop on Heartsy!!
Try again is all I can say. Good luck!

votes can be difficult. even if you get enough votes you still have to have a high ratio of buyer votes vs. non buyer

Maybe try some different pictures then your last submission? I love your shop as well and don't know why people are not voting yes.. Maybe use a mix of pictures, some of the lady, some of the child etc so that people see the variety. Of course I didn't see your deal so you probably already did that.. I don't know how to help lol!

Re: Any ideas on why I keep getting denied?

Thanks for your input! I've tried it both ways - once I had a range of models and the next time I just tried to choose my very best pictures which all happened to be of the same person.

I didn't think about the buyer vs non-buyer votes. I haven't promoted much here or on Facebook, but that's still something to consider.

Thanks, all!
