I've love some constructive commentary!

Hi, all! New to the team!

I had a very slooow year last year, creatively speaking, so in 2013, I am trying to get back to it. I want to produce new art, but I also want to continue to sell my "old" stuff well. With that in mind, I'm looking to freshen up my shop a bit, and I'd love any constructive critiques you can offer.

I would especially appreciate any tips for improving my titles and/or tags (or confirmation that they're ok as-is), but helpful feedback on any aspect of the shop is welcome and appreciated.

(I will note I'm not 100% happy with all of my photos, something I may work on in the future.)

Thank you so much!

1. Your photos could use a bit of help, but all in all they're pretty good!
2. Your descriptions should really sell your item! In the first line, put your eye catcher. Tell them how they absolutely CAN'T live without your item, where it would look great in their house, who it would be a perfect gift for. Then give the details (size, color, quantity) and describe it like there were no pictures to go along with it. Use short sentences or even better, bullet points. End with a link to that section in your shop so they can find similar items, a link to your shop policies, and a thank you for looking.
3. In your policies, stay away from negative phrases like "I am not responsible" - they scare people away. Stay upbeat, positive, and friendly, and make it clear that customer service is your priority! Explain everything, even the obvious. Think of any questions that they might have on your products, and answer them. The quicker and easier it is for them, the happier they'll be.
4. Get a facebook business page, a twitter account, an instagram, a blog - anything to help promote your shop. Advertise on blogs that you admire, that target your specific audience. Think smart - don't go for any ol' blog. Pick one that YOU would read - your target audience reads it too, then.

I hope this helps!
