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).
