**ETSY SHOP CRITIQUE** For Nicole Herbert
This is a nice Etsy Shop Nicole! We have a few suggestions which should help you optimize your shop for selling more of your designs.
Your shop has a nice cohesive look and your photo backgrounds are consistent. The banner is very pretty but I would like to see you add the name of your shop on it.
SHOP TITLE:
Use keywords here to describe what you make, such as Easter Wreaths, Everyday Wreaths, Grapevine Wreaths, etc.
SHOP SECTIONS:
Shop sections need to be keyword specific. You're allowed 10 Shop sections. Try to have 5 – 8 of those filled out. Everyday Wreaths, Christmas Wreaths, Easter Wreaths, Spring Wreaths, etc.
SHOP ANNOUNCEMENT:
The first two sentences are the most important and should be keyword rich. Something like: “Specializing in handmade Grapevine Wreaths, Spring Wreaths, Holiday Wreaths, Floral Wreaths and Everyday Wreaths would be good choices.
- End this announcement with a warm welcome and anything else you want to add.
- Make sure you always complete Policy sections.
- Double check that the keywords used in your titles are being searched in Etsy Search listings.
- Be sure to add commas to separate title keywords.
- It is important to always add the size of the wreath in the description
I hope that these suggestions will make a difference in your Etsy shop and also increase your sales!
Happy Wreathing!
Nancy
