Starting Etsy anew, any tips and critiques are most welcome
Hello lovely fellows,
I've had my Etsy shop for like 5-6 years now, but I've been inactive for the past few years as i was putting more efford in my official website instead (migrating to shopify ect) as well as few other personal projects that took way too long to finish. But I am back again , basically starting anew and i wonder how can i improve my humble store. It's not exactly finished, as i have 1400 listings in my website, and only 200-something on etsy, but i'm doing it manually one by one whenever i get the time (being kinda lazy during the summer lol).
- What am I missing, how is my About section
- What would you recommend for more "trustworthy" international orders
Any tips and critiques will be very helpful.
What inspired me to create this store? - I created my online store (and the equivalent Etsy) because of my passion for crystals and gemstones. It started as a small hobby during my student years, and turned into a full time "job". I put that in quote, as i own the business (it's legitimate) so it doesn't feel like a job most of the times. Well unless i have to spend until 4 in the morning to photograph stones, or while i struggle for a week to fix some bugs and stuff on the website.
Why do i feel my products are worth purchasing? Well I try to offer affordable crystals and gemstones for everyone - either for collection, decoration, study or to make a pretty jewelry out of them. They are not perfect, but nothing in life is. Inclusions and imperfections make them unique.
I am using Etsy to "expand" my options for selling, and it looks like a good platform to do so.
