GREAT selling tip has boosted my sales!

Hi folks,
Thought I would share my great discovery with you. I just changed the categories of my shop after a friend who was browsing explained how she searched websites). Instead of doing the categegories by type of object, I did gift guide categories (ie gifts for him, gifts for teachers, secret Santa gifts under a fiver etc to make it more shopper friendly. It seems to be working a treat and I can see from google analytics that lots of people are searching in a particular category for ages (especially adult humour!). Def worth experimenting with to boost sales. Cheers and good luck x

That’s an excellent idea and really good of you to share it. I’m going to have to use my imagination to come up with ‘Crochet Gifts for Him!’ but definitely worth a try. thank you. :slight_smile:

Thank you for sharing! I have had a little look to see how I could use this and now have a new section for ‘Gifts £5 and under’, just to see how this works for Christmas. I was a bit surprised that my new section has 31 items in it!

Thanks for sharing this idea, I may give this a go as my last sale on folksy was back in 2014. I need to start selling here again.

Thanks for sharing. I suppose like everything else when you really think about it makes perfect sense - but it’s one of those things that doesn’t automatically spring to mind :slight_smile:
