Interesting changes…
Google listing ads: Will you be picking the products for PLAs? Can we opt in / out?
Transactional emails: I don’t mind receiving “your item is now in a gift guide” email, but the rest of the transactions might be too much…
Well done Folksy, all seems good to me. In particular the introduction of tags. Also like the idea of transactional emails - I like to know what’s going on!
@minerva - hi:
@Thecraftycurioshop thanks
I really appreciate these updates, it’s good to know what you’ve been working on and they make you guys seem more accessible.Thanks.
Thanks for the update. More exposure on Google will hopefully bring in more sales for us and more income for Folksy, so that’s a good thing for everyone
This is excellent news, my products sell really well on Etsy due to google listing ads but I hardly ever make any sales on Folksy which is a real shame. I have only recently re-opened my shop as it hadn’t been worth it before but I really liked the changes that had happened within the year I had been away.
Just one question that’s worth considering: All of my items come up really high in google search, I have spent a long time learning how to SEO all of my listings, and regularly tweak my titles and keywords however I that google hates duplicate content so do you think that when these changes come in I would have to have a bit of a jiggle around with the listing description?
This is brilliant news, thank you!
If you have to increase the fees a few pence to implement Google PLA then I would say please go ahead.
Access to tags will be wonderful - will we have to select from your list like with colours, or just type in our own?
