Hello..Any insight?

I wanted to see if anyone can critique my shop and give me any pointers on boosting my sales, give me suggestions on what to do and what not to do. That would be helpful. Thank you.

Re: Hello..Any insight?

Hi Jenna!
I looked at your shop (I just opened in March and I've only had 14 sales) =( You, on the other hand, haven't done too bad...congratulations! You have some really cute stuff! The only thing that I think would distract me from buying something from your stop might be the presentation. In some of the listings there is a hand holding the item (I think this was meant to show how small the item is..?) Also, the charms are super cute but when I look at them I notice the black border surrounding each one, first.
Are you using all 13 of your tags for each item...that seemed to improve traffic at my shop. Also, I joined a few teams and notice a difference in traffic and sales when I participate in them daily. I did pay for ads a couple of times but honestly the team participation seemed to work better.
I hope this helps a little. Would you mind critiquing my shop, please? I need someone to tell me what I'm doing wrong! =)

Re: Hello..Any insight?

Thank you Lori for you help! I was iffy about the bead pictures, the pictures I took were the wrong size so I tried something to help them stand out. I think I will go ahead and change the pictures, I actually sold more beads with the old pictures I had, I just didn't think the pictures were that nice and that's why I changed them. The hand pictures, I was trying to show the size, but I'm not so crazy about those pictures either. I'm not so good with taking pictures. For the tags, some listings I used all 13, once you get to like 6 it's hard to come up with more words :) The ad thing, I noticed that when I did the search ads I hardly got traffic but when I took the ads down I made sales. I still don't quite understand that.
I checked out your shop an I gotta say, your stuff is so cute! I think your pictures are really good too. As far as I can tell, I think your shop looks pretty good. I love the name too! I know one thing that helped a little bit with me was joining the circles and creating treasuries. That seemed to get traffic to my site (plus I met some nice people that have some cool stuff). Also, I put coupon codes in my shop announcement and that seemed to bring a few more people in. Oh, and when someone favorites something in my shop, I automatically ad them to my circle so that they can check out any new listings that I post and sometimes I send personal greetings to them with a coupon (but I don't want to be pushy so I just send a short note). Even tho I have been here for a little over a year, I still am learning and I hope that I was able to help at least a little bit. Like I said tho, you have some cute things and I wish you all the best in your success! Thanks again Lori!

Wow, Jenna! Thank you so much for all of your input!! I appreciate that you took the time to look at my shop! Too bad you don't live closer to me I'd totally help you out with taking pictures! I love taking pictures! I will definitely take your advice! You helped a lot!
Your stuff is really cute and unique and I (one thing I didn't mention before) really like the way that you pose the dolls in foresty backgrounds! So cute!! The best of luck to you!
