I bought one once and didn't see much of a difference. I wouldn't buy one again. Doesn't seem worth it to me but maybe other people have a differnt story

does it increase your shop visibility dramatically & more buyer click on your shop?

Hi, I have tried the paper goods, art and bags showcases (I live in UK so they go on sale at a funny time for me, and I can never ever get a spot on the jewellery one). I got a few more views and one or two more people favourited my shop, but no sales from it.
I wouldn't say it made a dramatic difference.

No, renewing is vastly more effective when you do the numbers on it.

ShadeJewelery, you are so right! Why did I not ever realise that.

I love your tension rings too.

When I first bought any I bought FOUR at one time! After the first one I already regretted the other three...

where does this "Holidays: Home Decor Showcase" appear?

Posted at 5:56am Oct 31, 2008 EDT

think of it this way....

i spend .50 cents per day on PW for 20-30 ad spots all over the web.

i can do that for an entire MONTH on what a showcases costs.

or you can list/renew 75 items in your shop!

easy math, IMHO.

( yes i ave done showcases in the past, and they never yielded anything)
