If anyone has a moment would you please head over to my shop and give me a critique. I could use all the advise and help I can get. I am still working at my photography skills but could use some good advice on them.

Thanks everyone!!!!!!!!

Hi Casey
I really like your baseball studs :)
I started working on my shop a few months ago so I think I can share now with you what helps.
1) Definitely - more listings - minimum of 40 is recommended.
2)Then - title tags, use all 140 symbols. Your title tells me what you sell, but google and SEO wise I would add some other keywords
3)Another thing - tags - this website is helpful https://marmalead.com/app/ I use it to tag my items
4) It's good you have a link to your facebook page. I would add a link to your etsy shop as well, or for example other earrings..

Hope I'm helpful.. It all takes time to have a nice shop here. Just don't give up and keep working on it :) Good luck hun!

Thank you so much for the help! I am will definitely look into it all and add some more things! I am working on getting more items up I am just so nervous when it comes to photos. Nothing ever looks well LOL.

Any other critiques from anyone else? I could really use some pointers. I am working on making a bunch more mock ups and getting them photographed.

hi casey - i had a few minutes, and looked through the shop - hope the following are helpful:

- the first thing that came up is the personalized perler. for me, making the user create the studs is a bit of work i might not do. maybe i'm not typical, but i don't put in the effort to do convo's, etc...

- that said, maybe you might want to customize the default layout of the shop, and put something that comes up first on search terms at the front of the shop.

- i'm sure you've gotten the feedback that more listings are better - you have 13 listings in the shop... some folks will tell you that a minimum of 40 is what you should have for better searchability.

- i'm struggling, a little, with the relevance/relationship between earrings and wine glasses / ornaments... do you think there's an opportunity to set up two separate shops?

- it doesn't look like you're taking advantage of all of the photos. for example, the personalized perler nurses stethoscope earrings - there is one picture, and that picture isn't as clear as as it might be. you have five slots for pictures - you might want to put up some additional, perhaps clearer, images.

- for the "life is better at the beach" ornament - is the stand included? might want to make that clear.

- you give shipping terms in the product descriptions. might want to put those in the shipping terms section.

hope those are helpful. i like the ear studs - hope you're wildly successful!!! good luck!

Thank you for all the advice!!! They sure do help a lot. I do vinyl so it is hard to keep everything together I guess I would say but I do get what you are saying about the earring and the wine glass/ornaments.
