Critique

[Former_Member]

Hi everyone. I would really appreciate it of someone would critique my shop.
I believe our descriptions and titles and tags are okay.
We are working on our pictures. The first 6 or so items in shop have the good pictures that we will do for all of our items.
We also have many things in our shop and are adding more and more.
My girls haven't really been marketing since they are both still in school. That's why we aren't getting the sales we want. Or at least that's what I think, but if anyone can give us some tips or point out some issues that we aren't addressing, that would be much appreciated!
Thanks you,
Verna

Your items are great!! I would suggest hiring a professional photographer and keep your photos consistent. For example, right now some of your products are against a white background and some are against a black background. The props are nice but I think they might be taking away from the products themselves. I find my eyes move around everywhere when looking at your front page and not sure where to land. I know you said you are working on your pictures so hope this helps you!

Thanks that does help. We have been considerting hiring a professional, and that was the needed push we needed.
Thanks again,

I would also advise caution in taking photos of the necklaces on the girls... the way etsy crops the first photo sometimes emphasizes things you weren't intending:

This one, for example highlights her chest more than the necklace.

I think you're on the right track, and that taking more photos that showcase your items well will pay off for you.

Oh my word no. Thank you for catching that!
