PHOTOS How can “I” know how to take great photos?
I have filmed 2 videos for you about taking photos and editing them – both are important in your ETSY shop.
ETSY also just introduced the cropping tool in listings manager. You can crop inside ETSY before you reposition your photo.
Add some text over your 5th photo – such as “favorite my item”

Banner – lighter background with brighter and lighter wreaths on each side
Shop title – is not in use; fill it our with what you sell such as: “All Occasion Deco Mesh & Floral Wreaths”
Announcement – first 166 characters most important; use keyword phrases. The second sentence should really be your first sentence. Then fill out the announcement a little bit more.
Policy pages are incomplete, spend time there

CRITIQUES
Wreaths From Me To You (started shop 12-31-10)
Photos – background on each needs to be lighter and consistent throughout
Photo view on each photo needs to be more consistent; some views close up and other further out
Shop sections need to be more specific using 2 to 3 words per section: Ex. College Sports Wreaths, Military Wreaths, Deco Mesh Wreaths, etc. – and then remove Color Accent
Listing descriptions need to be more thorough making sure you include size of each wreath in same spot of description for each… for ease of use
