Critiques for our shop

[Former_Member]

Hello Team!

We are coming to you all for a little bit of help. We have a strong passion in wanting to get VB Designs off the ground and we thought Etsy would be the best place to start.

We opened our shop about 4 months ago so we are a of bit novices at this. Since then we have received a decent amount of views, favorites, etc. We made our first sale last month and that has been it! I know we need to add more products to our shop (we are working on 2 new card designs and will have them up by this coming weekend and by mid week we should have another painted glass design different then the current lace designs we have). Besides that I feel stumped as to what else we might be doing wrong. I try my best to promote our shop through facebook, threads, teams and treasuries but we just haven't been able to get the sales rolling.

As designers by trade we know we can only grow by taking in criticism. I am putting this out to the team to see when constructive criticism we can get from fellow sellers because we can only grow from all the help you can give us!

Thank you for your time, it is greatly appreciated!

Hi there! I took a quick glance at your stuff and I think they are all beautiful!
Criticism:
1. More more more. You need more listings.
2. Work on your photos. They look nice now, but could be better. If you make them all posed the same(or all similar) it is easier on the eyes.
3. Work on tags. You're not using all of them! Search for similar card on etsy to get ideas for better use of tages
4. Make an about page! So we can get to know you and know who we're buying from.
5. Be patient. It took me 6 months for the sales to start rolling in. (and by rolling, I mean maybe 1 or 2 a week)
6. Repeat numbers 1-5. There are always things that can be improved further!
Hope this helps!
