Theme of the day

Surely a chance of being seen is better than not being there at all. It doesn’t take long to tag a few appropriate items when you have them

I have yet to get a sale through the tag of the day…even when the word is something like flowers and I have loads of them in my shop…lol…
That said, I rarely bother with theme of the day any more.
However, stepping outside the box…it would be natural for me to tag ALL of my floral cards with the word “flower”,so , if that was the theme of the day it would show loads of my cards on the front page, so it would be impossible to limit how many showed up…it would be out of my hands.
Likewise if the theme was “santa” there would be loads of shops that would show up because they had used that word as a tag on their Christmas items… and so it would be impossible to limit how many of their items showed up.

Perhaps the tag should be ‘theme of the day flowers’. Agree Brenda I use a lot of pink, vintage etc.

Hi Brenda, if you tagged them all floral and they are floral then that’s great and they deserve to be in the theme of the day, I also have a lot of items with flowers on. I don’t think we can limit how many show up and it probably wouldn’t be fair anyway. If the theme of the day was teddy bear the majority of my shop would show, what I meant was sometimes things are tagged and I can’t see why they would be included but often when looking closer or at the description of the item you can then see why it has that tag, it’s perhaps not always obvious.
I like the more specific tags as there are less items, some of the themes of the day such as ‘Cbristmas’ to me arn’t worth the time adding the tags if it’s not already on as there will be hundreds included and likewise I don’t think I have ever had a sale due to an item being featured whether it’s on theme of the day or in a gift guide.

That is the point Debby. Incorrect tagging of items just to get them on the front page. Ie totd dogs, cats appear etc.

I agree. I much prefer a more specific title, It becomes pointless if not.
Today its ‘Tree’ it would be lovely to see lots of artistic interpretations of the theme. But instead its a mish mash.
Anything that can be hung from, made from or lives in a tree is there.
The problem is with the tag. not the seller.
British trees or Winter trees perhaps would have made the theme look more relevent?

I agree a more specific title would be better and also Lee sellers would bother if not relevant to the theme.
