Here's a list of items to go over and make sure you've included
and refined in order to perfect your shop!
Will your Shop Name help promote you?
- Is your shop name easy to remember, spell, and say?
Does your Public Profile need a little
help?
- Is your avatar recognizable and does it reflect your style and
personality?
- Have you filled out your location?
- Does your profile tell your story?
Are your Shop Settings working for you?
- Do your Shop Title and Announcement contain good search
keywords?
- Does your banner reflect your style? Does it look good with
your item photos?
- Have you enabled buyers to follow your Facebook Fan Page and
Twitter accounts?
- Are your Shop Policies filled out? Do they instill trust in a
buyer?
Let's check out what's in your shop!
- Do you have enough items in your shop? The more items you have
the more a buyer has to choose from, and the more likely you'll be
found in a search query.
- Are your item titles easy to read?
- Is there variety in the titles throughout your shop?
- Have you made your titles, tags, and descriptions relevant for
search?
- Do you use all spots for tags in each item listing with
relevant search terms?
- Do you use style, color, size and texture tags including word
phrases as tags that a your buyer would search (eg. steampunk
cufflinks)?
- Do your descriptions reflect your unique voice - making it easy
for the buyer to connect with you as the artist or collector?
- Do you answer all the questions a buyer might be asking about
this item?
- Reevaluate your prices. Do your prices reflect the quality of
your work and your time?
- Do you ship internationally? Ask your local Etsy Team for
advice if you need it. (Did you know that roughly 1 in 4 sales on
Etsy involves a buyer or seller outside of the U.S.?)
- Search for what you sell, and look at your photos in search
results. Do your photos make you want to click?
- Are you using all 5 spots for images including at least one
close-up and one photo that shows the whole piece?
- Do you have unnecessary graphics, borders or logos on your
photos?
- Is your shop cohesive? If not, try to tie it together with your
photography style. Cut back on listing items that aren't
selling.
