Excited about new store - appreciate any suggestions

Hello, just getting my store stocked and would appreciate any suggestions

eCrater has a great look and I enjoy how easy it is to list items. I know I have alot to learn so try to spend time reading posts from others. Everyone here seems to be so helpful and encouraging.

Thanks for any help,
Monica

Hi Monica-Maria

You're off to a great start. I would suggest that you increase your logo size cause it isn't currently readable as it is too small. It also looks almost out off place at that size with everything else.

I would also fill in your terms of service so your customers have somewhere to gather all the information they need to make an informed decision.

I love your bags! Great patterns and so versatile. Good Luck!

Cheers

Thank you for the kind words about my purses and the great suggestions. I will get to work on the logo and filling in the information as soon as I can.

Have a great day,
Monica

Hi Monica!

As BlueByrd stated, the terms are very important, particularly your refund/exchange policy and order processing times.

Your bags are FANTASTIC! Those camo totes are brilliant! I hope you are remembering to BRAND the items you are making. You know, labels or plates on the bags. I know that as a merchant, I would jump on these if they were available wholesale; and, I doubt I am the only one. Just something you might want to keep in mind for the future. Wink

Good luck!

P.S. - Camo is in right now. Red, black, and metallic are also going to be big this fall. You go girl!

Hey urban

Thanks for the color tips for fall - how in the world do you know what the colors are going to be? That would be great information to have.

Cheers

Your bags look great.Good luck with your store.I might suggest adding the word chicken somewhere in the listing for that gorgeous rooster bag as I'm always on the lookout for chicken stuff and when I did a search on your site for chicken that didn't show up

Thanks again Urban - I didn't realize that there was so much emphasis placed on that kind of stuff. Maybe it's cause I am a rebel and wear what I want when I want instead of being part of the belly button crew Cool

Thanks to all for the words of encouragement and taking the time to give some suggestions.

I changed the logo, added the terms and will work on adding the word chicken to the rooster and sunflower purse.

I have a new camo tote that I hope to add next week and also a different style that has the pockets on the outside.

From a grateful newbie,
Monica

I like the totes, and I love the handy pockets. I'm always digging for my keys, cell, etc...

I see alot of sellers here not take advantage of the huge amount of character space we have available in our title space here. Use them all. Lots of keywords. You can almost do a small description with all the characters they allow here. Include something about your pockets, and the size, and color, and pattern, and they're custom designed, etc...

Hi Monica-Maria,

The store looks great, and so do your products. No one else has mentioned your line to have a great day in Jesus. That statement will probably cause you to lose some sales, although how many is unclear. I have no intention in starting a religious debate. I only mention it as a business critique.
