Results of the gizecraft critique.


Angela - gizecraft has worked very hard on her shop focusing on our critique comments.  The following is what she accomplished: 
Commment from AuntKarensCreations:
1. Aunt Karen's Creations said...  gizecraft.... ooooh those pictures just POP! Good job! I was looking at your tags, you duplicated a couple of words in tags. Can you come up with alternates for one of your valentine tags and scarf tags? You are missing 2 opportunities to be found through Google with those.

gizecraft replied.... I have made changes on the tags to enable easy search. One example is tag - neckwarmer. Thanks Karen!

2.  Debra said... Debra is ZaneyMay - Nice scarf, I like the description. You could say how soft the material is on your skin or something like that. The first picture, seems a little off, but that could be because the background is removed.

GIZECRAFT: Debra, you are right on that. I appreciated it because I overlooked this important detail. I have put the right description and also took a new photo. It does make a difference. Thanks Debra!

3. jswrites said... A few picky comments:

• For a potential international audience, show the size in metric too

• Spelling: "Reversible" not "Reverseable" (text and tag)

• In Materials, "flannel" could be cotton, wool, acrylic or some other fiber or blend - remember some people have allergies, sensitivities, or preferences for what fiber they want against their skin, so say what it is!

• Care instructions? Hand wash/dry flat? Machine wash in cold water? Throw it in the washer and dryer? Spot clean or dry clean only?

• Do you welcome custom orders? The same style in different colours? A longer or wider version? I know you state that you accept custom in your Policies, but you could make a more active and positive message with the item itself.

gizecraft said:   It took me a while to make the changes but finally it is done. Now, the measurements are in inches/cm.

Thanks for letting me know about the spelling mistake (good writing is very important for readers).

Also mentioned about the material used. You are right on that! Some people do get allergies.

Also made changes regarding the care instructions and custom order! Thanks Jswrites!

And now a word from Angela:  Thank you all for helpful and good advice.  I think I followed each piece of advice you gave.  You all helped me to make my shop better!
Thank you so much!

I really appreciated Auntkarenscreations invitation on being the first to have a critique because it helped me to concentrate on my shop and take good advice from all of you. I am still learning and trying my best to have a good shop. But having a good shop means that I have to provide the best service to my customers.

Karen, thanks for starting this blog, which I believe that will benefit a lot of new sellers like myself.
