Profiles matter! They can pull a buyer in or make him/her turn away! From a buyer's perspective, how would you feel about shopping with the person above based on their profile?
Zoe: I love your profile, I think it is informative without getting to intimate. If you wanted you could get more personal but I don't think it necessarily has to go there, very professional without feeling "cold" great job!
I know mine is horrible i wanted something light hearted but I don't think it comes across well.
I would try to show a bit more of yourself in your profile. You write it in the third person... I'm a bit more attracted to a profile and a shop that shows there's a real person behind it, instead of something that sounds like a review in a newspaper. More story, you know?
Nat, I like your profile info. Nice, clear and friendly. If you want to add more about yourself, you can use new About page that Etsy just launched. By the way, you are in my Circle now !
I love that you recycle stuff from around your home! I think it's very creative. I love how you talk about yourself a little bit. I think being yourself really attracts viewers.
So sorry for the loss of your dad, I loss mine 21 years ago and I know how hard it can be. While your profile is nice and to the point I think it needs a little pick me up.
