Watch the spelling errors - Jewellery on the About US page should be Jewelry ( At least in the USA it's spelled that way. There is a thread here somewhere talking about how words are spelled differently in different places.)
Currently your items are showing ZERO for shipping - that is what the order will show also. If buyers come to your store from froogle/google they will not see your FAQ or any other pages in your store.
Titles like
Quote: | OOAK- white and turquoise |
Won't ever come up in a search. Fill your titles with key words! At the very least tell them what it is. The describe on this item doesn't tell anything either. Is it a bead? A necklace? a bracelet? I have no idea.
Think about working on your titles and descriptions. Even your glitter don't say glitter. No one will be searching RED RUM and expect to find glitter.
Hope that helps! |

Hi Danielle (my daughters name )
You have got some really nice jewelry in your store.
You are off to a great start!
I hope you dont mind me saying something about your logo and image. In themselves they are ok but I dont think they go with the ecrater color scheme! I am sure it is my personal preference and someone else may love it so it will be interesting to see what other people think.
Apart from that you are doing a grand job!!!
Good luck

Welcome to ecrater.
Very nice store and yes your logo goes with the color of your store.
Your prices are low. Not to often you see handmade earrings for a buck.
Good Luck in your sales.

Hi and welcome to eCrater!
Nice concept! Pretty things! Awesome prices!
My suggestion would be to distinquish your logo from the color scheme chosen for your store.
Much success with your new store!

Thank you for the feedback! I didn't realize that it is the name of the product that shows up on the searches, I thought it would just be the general category. And the white and turquoise necklace, I thought I did put necklace in there, oops... but again, I was probably thinking it's in that category so it would be a given. Also, with the whole Jewellery vs. jewelry thing, I much prefer jewellery (I guess that's the Canadian/ English spelling..? ) because my original business is Sweet Tooth Jewellery.
So again, thank you for your input and I will definately be changing those names/ descriptions! |

I totally agree, I made the logo before I opened the store, so I didn't realize that there would not be a format that would match. It's a temporary thing, though, so I hope you'll see my store when everything matches! And I must say, you made a great choice of name for your daughter
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And to everyone else, thank you for your comments. I really appreciate all feedback- especially about the prices! I use to make MUCH more expensive items but realized quite quickly that it doesn't sell and people generally don't care how much time I put into an item or how much I had to pay for the materials- they'd rather have poor quality dollar store items. I can safely say without being too arrogant that my jewellery.. or jewelry for the non-Canadians.. is good quality. |

Hey, another Canadian! I hadn't realized that earlier! Whichever way you choose to spell it/them/those thingies, I think we know what you mean. There are definite differences in the way Canadians and Americans spell certain words, but those differences are not so grate that the meaning is compromised.
Again, best of luck with your new store!!

No but the search is.
Your titles should have Handmade Jewellery Jewelry in them - glitter should have body glitter.
PACK them titles fill of searchable key words! |
