Shop Critique please!

[Former_Member]

Hi there!

I am new etsier, and am trying to make sales. I am getting good traffic, but no sales yet.

What kind of audience should i be targetting? This question is because the items are not the regular items as compared to others. Need help.

Hello,

Welcome to Etsy.

Let me just say that it will take a while for a shop to get some traction and get continuous sales.
As I am not selling artwork, so I don't have many tips to give you. I would look up some competitors and see how they set up their listings.

I would work on your items titels for sure, they are confusing.
You offer both downloads and prints on some. You can list each design with 'variations'  One just as download, the other as a print.
More pictures... For example showing it in a frame on a wall or on a shelf, it will give an idea of the size of the artwork.

One more tip..... watermark your images!

Hi there! 

Welcome to Etsy! 

I remember posting a shop critique request in December 2011, and I just started my shop in September of that year. I sold only 3 items for the first 3 months, and it was discouraging, indeed. But after many helpful tips from that post I made, I am now on my 8th year, and have quitted my corporate job 4 years ago to stay at home, make doll clothes and sell internationally, from my tropical country - the Philippines. Not easy, but so worth it and I will never go back to that office place again!

Now back to you. Your art is cool - I love how raw and emotional they are! They are not the common, pretty looking ones you can easily find but this means you have a voice, and that one is cool enough.

I agree with AtelierNordique about taking a pic of your artworks hanging on a wall of framed and set in a room. Give the seller an idea where they can use your product.

I would suggest you do this one thing, too, if you hadn't done so yet:

------ Establish a following from some social media channel - artworks are perfect for Instagram. People there are visual so I am very sure, if you run a campaign there and really establish your brand, you'll never go wrong with your targetted audience. With your kind of artworks, the people you can surely sell to are FANS.

That would be it, darling. Good luck to you and I wish you a successful venture here in Etsy!

hugs,
