So cute!!!

Can you tell me how big they are?

[MINIPetAirCleaner]

The small size is about the size of your phone， 17cm*12cm

The large size is about the size of an Ipad, 26cm*18cm

Awww.... too cute! Love them.

[MINIPetAirCleaner]

Thank you!!!

I just looked at the puppies, I thought they were really cute. Suggestion: I don’t really understand what it is other than a cute ornament. Your descriptions are difficult to understand in English. 

Is it an air freshener? Not sure what an air purifier is. Just some ideas 

[MINIPetAirCleaner]

Each Mini Pets contains activated charcoal derived from sustainable Moso bamboo – known for its ability to reduce airborne bacteria, allergens, mold & more. If you search Bamboo Charcoal Air Purifying, you will know what it is and how it works. Thanks for your suggestion, I will add more introduction to my products, thanks!!

Thought it was adorable. I might suggest you add bunnies since they are so popular now

[MINIPetAirCleaner]

Thanks, I am actually working on it. I just started selling on Etsy, so I am not sure how many customers gonna buy it.

What a great idea! They are adorable! Do you make the stuffed dogs or do you buy them? How big is the largest dog. I make dog clothes for small and medium size dogs and sometimes my little dog doesn't like to model them for pictures. Can the dogs be made to sit or stand up? 

marmalead.com can help you with your keyword tags and title descriptions and also how to use etsy promotions to boost your sales. Unfortunetly we have to spend money to make money!

Thank you! I graduated with a Master degree in Art Design and this is actually one of my projects in college. I decided to do this as my business last year in the Ohio area. Unfortunately, this mini pet can't sit or stand up. It is a decorative product and also works as an air cleaner. It contains Bamboo Charcoal on the bottom and purifies the air. I have a dog, his name is Nino. I also design dog clothes. My dog is a Jack Russell puppy, just turned one-year-old last week. 

Thanks for your recommendation, I will definitely check it out!

Hi, Reid, if I were a customer, I would have a lot of questions. Do you actually make the animals? What is the process? What are they made of? (As an animal lover, I would want to know that they are synthetic, and that no animals were harmed in the making of the product.) My biggest question is why they are so inexpensive? If they are in fact handmade, I would think the time involved would warrant a higher price.

I think that a nice description of your products and processes in your announcements would be very helpful to customers. It also seems that your shop would attract a wider audience if it was called "MiniPet" rather than "Puppy"...people looking for cat or horse themed merchandise are more likely to find your cute creations. 

Good luck with the new shop!

Thank you so much for your suggestions! I have added some introduction and more details about this product to my shop. Your suggestion is very helpful! I am the designer of this product, this is one of my projects in college. After I graduated from college, I decided to make this and promote it to the market. The making process is complicated, but I can let you know the mini pets are made with artificial wool, plaster, Bamboo Charcoal, and plush cushions. It has nothing to do with the real animal, except their similarity. 

The reason why I set the price is so low, (just above the cost) I want to promote this product to more and more customers. This product is not only just cute, but also works as an air fresher, and provides a healthy environment. 

I have changed the name to Mini Pet, thank you again for your suggestions! 

Please let me know if you have more questions~

Looks cute, but honestly I did not understand at all what you were selling until I opened up a listing and saw the second photo of the charcoal infused mat.  

You need to use all ten photo slots on the listings.  I would also give measurements in inches.  I personally hate having to convert mm or cm to inches.  

just a few thoughts.  good luck.

[MINIPetAirCleaner]

Thanks for helping me to improve my shop. I will change it. 😄

[NobbyandNice]

I love your product!!! So adorable!!  Yes you need a better description of what the product is and the size like suggested above.  Also, here in America we tend to love certain breeds of dogs so if you could say what kind of dog each one is.  This is all after buyers get to your store but to get there you need much better seo (search engine optimization), improvements in your tags and titles.  Think the way a buyer would search for your product.  Since they don't probably know there are freshners shaped like dogs I would researd using erank.com or marmalead.com how buyers search for air freshners and then use those terms in the title and tags.  Something like decorative air purifier might be a main term and then add the type of dog and other terms after.

Great product!

[MINIPetAirCleaner]

Thank you so much for your suggestions! Yes, I am struggling with how to Market this project and improve the awareness. Your comment is very helpful!

[MINIPetAirCleaner]

Thank you guys for providing suggestions! It was so helpful for me to improve my shop. I have made one sale so far, the item has been shipped and still waiting for the review. 

[MINIPetAirCleaner]

Updates: By participating local vendor's event, I got one investor who is interested to invest my product and bring it to a larger market! I am so excited to see that happen.
