Today, I want to share some things I learned very recently.
If you've recently opened an Etsy shop, or if you're thinking about it, I hope you'll use these tools much earlier than I did!
I was just poking around a bit and noticed a couple of things on Etsy that helped me to improve the appearance of my pages.
Aside from taking more time with my photos and "styling" a bit more intentionally, I was able to make my Etsy pages more "me" by doing two simple things.
Thing #1:
Add a banner. I simply used the same photo I use in my blog header. While that may change later, for now, it works well and unites my Etsy pages and my blog another way.
How to add a banner or header:
- Click on Your Shop - located on the top right side of your page. A window will open like the one below:
- Click on "Info & Appearance" and the above page will open.
- There are several options to personalize your shop.
- The third option down is "Shop Banner Image."
- Browse for your photo of choice - horizontal format. It takes a minute, literally!
Thing #2:
Rearrange your shop. I have SO wished I could do this. I like to put like things together, so I was able to do this and make my shop feel much more cohesive - at least to my eye!
My page one things are all white, neutral, metal, textural - "Revisionary Style."
My page 2 things are vintage funky, bright, eclectic, kitch - things I love but don't have in my home at the moment.
How to rearrange your shop:
- Look at the bottom of the left column - below the contact button. Below Actions, Tweet and Facebook.
- Find "Your Shop." Click on "Rearrange Your Shop."
- Simply click on a listing and drag it wherever you prefer it to be.
- Once you have things like you want, remember to SAVE CHANGES.
Word for the Day:
Proverbs 9:9
Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.
