With that in mind, what about using our team blog to do some friendly-yet-realistic critiques of our fellow chatters' shops? If you are interested in hearing what other team members have to say about your shop, just post your question in the Comments of this post. Please try to keep it to one specific question (avoid the general "Do you like my shop?"), such as:
• Does my banner represent my shop well?
• Are my prices too high? Too low?
• Should I use a background colour in my photos?
• How can I improve my tags
...you get the idea! Let's see your questions, and of course your answers. Also, for anyone who would like to offer a more detailed critique, or would like to request one, please comment about that too. It would be great to match up some shops to help each other.

I got a question. I have thinned my shop out greatly. I now have several shops each focused on one are such as clay, vintage you get the idea. Well in my main shop www.cappysue.etsy.com do you think it appears to have focus? I am having a hard time deciededing that on my own.
ReplyDeleteThanks all for any opinions I will be happy to answer questions back.
CappySue I think for the most part, your shop has a good overall focus, but I'd move that bracelet off the front page... it doesn't really fit I think. I also found it a little strange that you are selling cookies in a shop that is mostly devoted to art!
ReplyDeleteMy q: how are my prices? Do you think they are fair?
Hi! I would love to get a critique on my shop and what I can be doing better to get more consistent and frequent sales. You can find my store on Etsy at papavercreations.etsy.com.

I have had my shop open since march although I did not list any items till may of 09. I feel like it has been successful but I'd like an outside opinion. Being a graphic designer I take critiques well! So blast away!
ReplyDeleteBTW your blog is great!! I've added it to my list of favorites
As a complete newbie who is yet to make a sale, I'd love any advice that anyone feels able to give me on my shop please!
