Welcome Steve, love your shop.

Your creations are really great, just try and expand your tags so that you can be found in searches. Like maybe wall hanging, wall decoration, laser etched design, original art. You need to say what you product is rather than just sun, gold etc. Lovely work :slight_smile:

Welcome to Folksy.

I would take a read of how to write good titles, descriptions and tags
Titles and description – Folksy Support & Knowledge Base.

For your unicorn for instance, no one is coming to be searching ‘the unicorn’. I’d title it something like this:
Wooden Unicorn Wall Hanging, Colourful Nursery Decor, Laser Cut Child’s Room Decor, Magical Gift
(I haven’t checked character count)

Good luck with your shop.

Hi welcome to Folksy, I had a quick look at your shop, you have some lovely work. As mentioned before you need to add more info to your listings. Your title doesn’t tell us what you are selling, you need to expand on it, same for the descriptions, i think you need to add more detail and use as many tags as possible. As @SeaPinkCards mentioned you need to describe what you are selling rather than just putting the title of the piece i.e laser engraved roses on canvas, wall hanging, or framed picture etc. Then repeat the keywords in your tags with any others you can think that people would use to search for a piece like yours, wall hanging, canvas art, engraved, laser engraved, etc . There is some really good information on the Folksy blog about getting your items seen and how to create good listings, I will try and add the link for you.

Love the roses canvas.

I just had a look and there’s a wealth of info on the blog that may help, if you go to the very bottom of your shop page then click on Folksy blog it can all be found in there.

Hi Steve - You have a lovely shop. Check out all the Folksy articles and advice on successful selling on line as they will really help you find your way (selling on line is an art in itself and you really need to optimise your shop for sales). It will take a while for sales to come so be patient. You’ve got quite a few fellow Folksy sellers in Wales so perhaps join your Folksy local group (I’m just across the border in Herefordshire). Good luck!
