I'm surprised you would suggest using all CAPS or s p a c e s between letters in the sections. I find both practices annoying and unprofessional.

I so disagree with that using caps or odd spacing. Nothing will drive me from a shop faster than the seller using all caps or random spacing/punctuation. Big thumbs down on that tip. :(

Thanks so much for your feedback an opinions! I think the bit about the text in shop sections is a matter of personal likes/dislikes, but manipulating the text does make it stand out. This one should be a personal choice. Thanks again!

This article came at a perfect time, as I'm launching a new line tomorrow! As an artist, I look at new lines or series as a way of really exploring an idea.

I always find all caps annoying everywhere but here, it's hard to get that side text to stand out and when it is all caps my eye finds is faster ... so I converted, though I use it sparingly. I know ... what's next? StIcKyCaPs?!

didn't even think of that. I am coming up with new designs all the time.

I see playing with text as another way to individualize your shop. It can project a fun personality. I think the text still needs to be recognizable and easy to navigate, though, but that mixing it up a bit adds interest.

I wish I could put my items in order in the shop!

great article - very helpful. Thanks

I personally dont mind all caps. it actually catches my attention sometimes.

Thanks for the insight! This article is helpful!

Thanks for the tips!

I like all caps as a hi-lighting technique. Spacing between letters, not so much. I've also seen some randomly mixing cApiTaLs and LOweRcAsE and I really don't know how I feel about it. Maybe it would set the tone for stuff that's targeting a young, trendy audience, or even children's goods. Just some thoughts...

I like caps as attention grabbers maybe for one section only. It takes a little creativity to come up with section names in such a limited space. I have seen section names with tones of stuff, how does that happen?

I so appreciate all caps. Then I won`t need my glasses!

I make coaster sets with 4 coasters to each set. Do you think it would be wise to sell the coasters individually and offer a mix-and-match feature, too? Thanks for any input. This was a really helpful article.

Very good article for a new-comer like myself. I didn't think about CAPS or no caps in setting up the store. I really only thought that would matter in a conversation. I like CAPS, easy on the eyes! jbirk-you might want to have a mix and match set I haven't looked yet at your coasters, but I know it would hold my interest if I had a wider selection. Just an opinion. Vicki

Thanks tons!

Although lower price points do attrach more hits, I feel that the bottom line is what will the overall cost be "Including Shipping".

I didn't think about not using all CAPS in my store name. As a new-comer I thought it was a good idea. Then I thought maybe it looks like I am screaming. Now I think that maybe it will generate more hits. I guess I just will just have to see what happens. Thanks for the article.

Really great advice! I'm new to Etsy and can use all the help I can get, so thanks for sharing.

Just starting a new pus size line of clothing.....thank you for all the tips.

I so appreciate all the work you guys put into giving us tips and advice. Much appreciated!

I like all the advice. I need all the help I can get! Thanks for sharing with us newbee's.

Your articles are always so helpful. Thanks much.

As a newcomer to Etsy I've found this very helpful in thinking how I might structure my store. The idea of having different pricepoints seems a constant message in what I have been reading so far. Thanks for the advice.

I love this. I just created a new line of Portuguese Tile jewelry last month, so it was good to see I did some things right!

great article - very helpful. Thanks

Thanks ^_^ Wowww Great Article

loved the hand stickers in the pic but when looked at it- sold out! maybe remove the photo until they're back in stock? otherwise grateful for the wonderful tips!

Thanks, these are great tips for me to use for my line of lower price point earrings and my new wedding band series.

Useful information, i like to use tags to separate my feather fascinators and jewelry, will change it a little to differentiate colors and pricing as well.

Thanks so much - this is all helpful info. As a newbie to Etsy, I'm so impressed that everyone in the community pitches in with helpful advice.

What a helpful article. I am fairly new here and haven't made a sale yet. I was thinking of doing some hard work and alterations to my studio for the New Year, so you have inspired me. Thank you. Sue

I would be intersted to interact with others who view www://etsy/com/store/andonia Already I am new to etsy and have a lot to learn from everyone that is selling their handmade wares to viewers.I must say already I feel welcome have entered a lovely atmosphere of helping each other out and exchanging ideas and showing freely what novices like me need to do.I have a lot to learn with how the system works and how to use blogs and where and how to use videos and how. Well Hi! I have to start somewhere and I am looking forward to growing my ideas and learning and exchanging possibilities and creative ideas and to connect with the people who view etsy looking for new and good ideas. I love the feel already. Thanks. Andonia

I like what you said about coming up with some variations of the pieces I already make and I am interested in experimenting with my store and growing it. Thanks for the tips. Andonia

I am already looking at how to introduce less pricier pieces and I will make these soon and would love to introduce beads I love to use and others might like to buy from me also.Andonia

I got some ideas, thank you!

Great ideas. I am branching out of my fabric line of goodies to include my jewelry items that are new to my etsy shop. I think I will open a face book page also.

Excellent article, so glad Daniellexo linked this to the Success Newsletter (Etsy articles to read can be overwhelming for me.) Now I know what to call what I have been wanting to do. Thank you for all the explaining, marymary! :O)

Shoot, that last post was for another page! So sorry, please delete - and this one, arrgh! thank you!

I read theses articles over and over I always find something new each time. Thanks

I like the look of 's p a c e s' in shops, mostly though because not everone does it, which makes it stand out a lot. I personally only add spaces or caps on sections that I want to highlight that week or month...then I usually change it back. Being new to etsy though I am always looking for new tips :)

Great advice, thanks!

I also like the look of 's p a c e s' and "ALL CAPS" but really dislike the look of 'StIcKy CaPs'. I think it is all a matter of opinion and that everything just needs to be clear and easy to read, even for those that need glasses. If they can read easier, they'll stick around and might generate into a sale. If they get tired of trying to read about what you're selling, they'll leave.... Thanks for the tips!!!

Thanks for all your pointers. We are trying new lines and price points. Makes the shop more interesting. Thanks again.

I have been searching for info on how many sections you are allowed to add? I just tried to go in and take two items and list them in a different section, and now you can't see them at all. It says the listing is inactive; but I've gone in and activated it. I'm wondering if I have too many shop sections as the new one I added is not showing up. Is 9 the limit?

Thanks for the imformation hope i do this right.

Valuable tools are keys for success. We appreciate the information you offer. Thank you!

Minus the capital and spaced out letters, this has been helpful! Thank you!

Everytime I read tips, I learn something new that I haven't realized. It's always a good thing to be proactive and be reminded.
