I'm starting a vintage store

I'm starting a vintage online store through etsy. So far I've just set it up and named it. It took a while to come up with a name that I like that wasn't taken. And so it is named Triangle Vintage. Because triangles are awesome and the three points and sides are in threes but one shape like the trinity, three in one. It's gonna include a lot of floral items 60's & 70's mainly house stuff, kitchen, mugs, sheets, some clothes. I'm really picky, so I'll only be selling things that I myself would buy but if you have any vintage style or item preferences tell me and I'll be on the look out.

You can check it out so far Triangle Vintage at etsy

ETSY OPENING **Sale**

Yay. So I've been researching about opening my etsy store back up and now it is open. I have wallets, pouches, plushies and original artwork. I'll still be adding stuff over the next week and continually as it stays open. For all of you loyal readers (not a loyal reader, become one by following my blog, click the follow button on the right margin and follow the directions) $5 off each item (etsy listing) bought. Buy more stuff get more discounts. Discounts are off of merchandise before shipping. Discount are in American dollars. If there are multiple items in one etsy listing, only counts as one discount. Just convo (conversation through etsy) me first and I'll make a special listing just for you and all the items you want to purchase.

Made a Facebook Store

here is my new Even Eve's Facebook Store Page for my etsy store. I learned about these facebook store pages from a forums post on Etsy. Just another way to promote your Etsy store and get more people to find it.

Etsy Shop Critiquing

The other day I got my etsy shop critiqued for the first time. An awesome opportunity that Etsy provides once a week in the Tree house (one of the Virtual Labs located in the community section of Etsy). Everyone who has an Etsy shop should take advantage of this. You show up in the Tree house at the designated time (Est. USA) and the Etsy Admin who is doing the critiquing picks the shops that they have time to critique (you can get your name put on the list if you "convo" short for conversation HeyMichelle by being signed in on Etsy go to her page and click contact HeyMichelle). You can see the Admin talking via a mini webcam in the Tree House while the critique is going on. She will go through the chosen shops and talk about important tips on making your store the most it can be. The notes i got from it were (1)make my store intro smaller so that when people get to my store page they can see some of my products without scrolling down. (2) When taking pictures of my items with a natural light source set my camera to EV balance. (3) Sell some items that are the same if i sell a bunch single sell some in bunches/sets. (4) Take themed pictures of themed items like a sushi set up next to something made with sushi print fabric (5) for promotion have a blog :) and post and reply to forum posts (6) for tips on how to photograph your items go to the gift section in the same category of your item and see how others are photographing (7)Here are the links she gave out during the session (a)International shipping for US sellers (b) Tagging tips when posting items (c)Shipping how to (d)the art of pricing (e)more shipping tips (f)the beginners guide (g)marketing
