Foyles War Ad Break - Etsy Shop now open for business ...

[Tillyboo]

A blatant cheeky plug here ..

My poor old Etsy Shop has been languishing empty for a while and so I thought I'd resurrect it in the New Year.

If anyone wants a peep and let me know what you think ?

Right, I can concentrate on Foyles War now

Adorable!

tillyboo- the etsy shop looks lovely, i still keep thinking about it for my paintings.. and possibly jewelry now... hope it does well...

Hi Meridian, go for it !
It's a bit of a faff if I'm honest but once you have navigated around the setting up of your site, it's OK.

I played at Etsy for a month or two last year but had no success - maybe I should have plugged it more ?

Anyway, I'm trying again but with a different selection of items this time. I'm not an in yer face type of person so I find it hard to promote my stuff but if you have the right 'tags' on your items it opens up the audience.

For example, if I am selling one of my bunnies, the tags I'd use would be

bunny, rabbit, softie, decoration, children etc.

Then, when people search for things on Etsy, it makes the route to your items more accessible - just a tip.

Good luck & let me know when your shop is up and running !

I'll let you know but I will have to have things in stock more than the erm dozen or so bracelets I have .. and would need to drag out my paintings and see what is good enough to go on and what can be recycled into something new.

good luck though hope it does well this time.. don't foget to add easter to your tags becuse people will be looking for eastery type things soon.. and valentines tooo

Hey Meridian - that's genius, thanks. Do you know it didn't even cross my mind about easter Bunnies ...

Mind you, I had half an eye on my Etsy set up and 2 ears on Foyles war so my concentration level was a bit rubbish.

I'm going in to add the 'Easter' tag right now.
