Low stats and sales. Should I close?

[Former_Member]

I have never had a critique of my shop, but I have read and reread helpful information in the forums and teams for improving my shop.
Please, please let me know areas of improvement.

Do I have too big a variety in my shop?

Are my prices okay?

Are my photos good enough?

I have worked and worked on my titles and tags. Do they still need work?

Please be honest as it will not hurt my feelings. This is my last hope for keeping on.

Thank you to anyone and to all who can help!!

I'm pretty new still however the photos could be clearer. I have my best results when I take photos outside in natural light.

If you're worried about too much variety, you can custom arrange your shop so that you have one line of all cards, one line of all oven mitts, one line of all purses to add some visual categorization.

I find that I have to drive traffic to my shop from other sources because etsy doesn't actually send many my way with the new category shopping. They have a VINTAGE BUTTON photo under supplies so... that's been a big bust for me, a ceramic button maker. I advertise on other sites. I offer coupon codes to people I meet. I'll be asking for a critique myself once I restock this week. :)

Good luck!
