Imagine my delight when I found this in my Etsy Converstions box this morning:
Hello! I just wanted to let you know that I featured you on my blog: http://jangiesetsyshop.blogspot.com/ Have a great weekend, Angie
And I was even more delighted when I popped over to Angie's blog and saw the fabulous post she has written on our shop Gladys Gladrags Wardrobe
Angie has her own Etsy shop with some delightful scarflettes (amongst other things) for sale, I especially like this one, now if I had a little girl it would be in my shopping cart in a trice. There's stuff for adults too so why not take a look?
We all know that photographs sell, after all what else have customers got to go on?
Unfortunately these photographs just aren't very good, they don't do justice to the clothing.
The lighting is awful, as is the background.
It's been casung me a lot of angst.
But the other day I listed the above skirt anyway and guess what?
It's sold within a couple of days or so.
The moral?
Well obviously we need to get the best photographs possible but maybe it's better to get stock in the shop, even with a less than perfect photograph, than to sit around wondering how to improve the photographs and not offer the items for sale.
