Re: Information, Ideas, Business Topics

Here is some information on how to take good photos:

In summery:

1. To take close-up photo, you want to use Macro function in a digital camera.

2. You can also make a light box. www.studiolighting.net/homemade-light-box-for-product-photography/

Here is a summery thread with some useful links. I didn't read through, but I'm sure they are beneficial to us.

Re: Information, Ideas, Business Topics

Ok, here are some good tips about how to make a treasury, quoted from Emily (Etsy Admin)

Etsy selects particular Treasury collections for the homepage based on seasonal themes, a strong display of item diversity from across many categories, and strong photos with clearly represented products.

Additionally, we are looking for lists that meet the following basic guidelines:

- No items from the Treasury curator or from their alternate accounts
- No items sold by an Etsy employee or Admin
- A full list, including 4 alternates
- No more than one item per shop

Here are some of other tips from other resources and me:

- Use a wide range of prices within the treasury
- Have a well-rounded treasury (i.e. not too heavy in one category.)
- Make sure you use all of your tags or admin may not find your treasury

NOTE: Hotness has nothing to do with admin finding your treasury for FP consideration. They search for tags and well-made treasuries.

Treasury Tagging Tips

Treasury tagging is not much different than tagging your items. However, you have to keep in mind that you are not tagging one item but rather 16 items. So use terms that will generalize the treasury such as a common color, common item theme (aka jewelry, necklace, pot, shoe, jacket, etc).

Hi Captain,

so I figured out how to put the treasury list (I am bit slow when it comes to…well, lots of things…) but can’t seem to figure out where to display them. I mean, the ones I put together shows up on my shop…so how does Etsy see them? Well, just in case I somehow manage to put together a great one.

Thanks, Captain!

Hi Anna,

This is the link where I can see all your treasuries. Once you "Save" your treasury, it will be seen by others. It's best to complete all 16 spots before you save.

June's Merchandising Report is out! This article helps us decide on treasury listing, themes, and trends. Use guidelines in it to make your treasuries, AND......don't forget to use appropriate tags for your treasuries also. Etsy admins use these tags to find well-made treasuries for front pages.

I apologize having to delete posts a lot, should've proofread before posting. Duhhhhh.......
