CraftyChicHandmade: It would be good if you didn't use the purple card, its a bit distracting. Also the shells - it's nice, but I recommend a different angle - ie. more close up or from the front, because the overhead shots have not enough emphasis on the product itself.
Otherwise your shop looks clean! Don't forget to add an update, good for SEO and even quick welcoming statement =)
TTAAdotIO to me your shop is very bland, all the same! No banner, no colour, sorry not trying to be mean just honest! You need to add something to keep people there to look at your items :)
to TTAAdotIO: Nice product! Like the idea! But I think Linda Levi is right. Your pictures are too cleand up. There is not much happening. All the attention is going to your product: that's good, but I can't see -at first sight- what it is you're selling. My suggestions are: *let the first picture sometimes be the back of your postcard *or make the first picture with a mailbox in the background *or show a first photo in line with a stamp and adress so it's more clear what it is I also would create a banner/logo with collor that is a logical connection with your product
to TinyTeddysDesigns: I like what you are doing! Making new out of old, love it! But, your shop is way too loud for me. Too much background noice, if you ask me. Your products are very collerful and sparkling, let the background be white -my suggestion- or at least 1 collor. In some pictures the products look like they have camouflage on them. I think when you do this your products will look more expensive and more classy. Your picture: cute! Your banner; too loud, in my opinion. I would use less collor if it was my shop.
Hope I helped, can't wait to hear about my shop. Thanks in advance, Bregje
I wanted to start off and tell you how much I love your shop!! You have some very beautiful and creative products, and I can see myself making a lot of purchases from you in the future!! I am brand new as an Etsy seller myself, so I am giving you feedback as a customer. The only thing I see as an issue is that your backgrounds, although beautiful, distract from the actual item you are selling. I feel that the items should take center stage and be the focal point of the photo, not just in the photo. As I said, I am brand new here so my input may not be the best, but that is the only thing I would say that needs to be adjusted. Other than that, it is perfect! Can't wait to buy that CityScape!! Hope this helps you, and for whomever looks at my shop, it is only 1 day old. I need all the help I can get to make it look awesome! Mia
I see that you are new on etsy. I love the idea of selling items from past and giving them new life, as you wrote on Announcement. I would suggest to you that you use better quality pictures (so the potential buyer can see more details of items), and that you use all 5 photos to present the item you are selling. I just favorited your shop (I'm honored to be the first one) and I wish you good luck! :*

Your item photos look really good but you could improve by making a logo or having someone make you a logo. I made my logo and I think it really helps distinguish you from other shops in the same category. I made my own logo and made a sell my first day on etsy. Anyways I hope this helps if you want any other info feel free to ask.
LuxieDaisy, You have very beautiful things. Your pictures are awesome and I get a clear idea of what you carry. I am surprised you don't have more sales. Now that it is getting colder out I expect you will be getting busy!!! Have you ever thought about doing custom orders on some of your best sellers? I think your shop is great and will do some shopping there myself!
Hi Elizabeth... Great looking shop :) Your pictures are clear..you used your tags and have good titles and descriptions of your items, I definately know what you are selling.... I think the only things that really stood out to me was your banner/logo... I tend to remember shops by their logo much of the time... I think an awesome Logo and banner would make it easier to distinguish your shop from other vintage/antique shops out there :) Much success to you....
I love your Shop! It's very colorful and all of you pictures are crisp and clear as to exactly what you are selling. I enjoy seeing the seasonal things. The colors in your logo are just perfect for what you sell. I checked out your "Sections" and they seem very easy to use... something I'm struggling with a little in my own Shop. It was nice to look at a Shop that is based on colorful and cheerful children's things!
@Janis Sutherlin, I'll restart the thread with you :)
My first impression is how refreshing your shop looks at first glance. Every item has the right amount of light and color which shows how transparent and honest your point of view is with your items. The shots are great too- crisp close ups and a straight on angle. Your shop is refreshing and makes anybody looking at it feel right at home.
When I first opened your shop I'm immediately drawn to your banner...I like how you advertised your sale (sometimes that can get overlooked when people visit a shop). Your pictures are very clear and your models look like they're having fun! Your prices seem reasonable and your items are really cute! Just keep adding more items to your shop and keep up the good work!
Hi Samantha-your glass products are amazing!!! but when I clicked on your shop, the first thing I noticed was the dull olive color of your banner. You've got to have one of your most colorful, intricate pieces pictured in your banner to let people know what you can do..I imagine it takes so much talent, time and hard work to do what you do, so promote it! Also, when you take pictures of your work, try not to have anything else in the background; it can be too distracting and take away from your beautiful work. Maybe have the same beige background in all of them, or some other nondescipt color. Otherwise, your items are outstanding!
Hi Czechchick :) You have a very nice shop..Your jewelry is lovely:) YOur pictures are nice, but a few seem a bit dark on my screen so maybe brighten them up a bit:) Your descriptions, prices and turnaround time are great :D The only other thing I would recommend is maybe changing your banner to something a little more eye catching and colorful :) Much success to you..
