How can I improve my Etsy shop for curated children’s art and increase sales?
Anonymous • in 11 hours • No answers yet
I run an Etsy shop selling curated, framed children’s artwork, and I’m still early in the shop’s growth. I’m getting steady daily views and visits, but sales are limited so far.
Because each piece takes a lot of time to create and the framing cost reduces my margins, I’m not sure if my pricing and presentation are working against me. I’m considering hiring a professional photographer and adding process photos or short videos to improve my listing images.
What changes should I focus on first—pricing, photos/video, listing details, or shop setup—to improve conversion and make the work more profitable?
