Conclusion to Giggle's and AuntKaren's Critiques

Gosh I didn't realize just how much work went into following the advice on the blog critiques!  I tip my hat to all of those before me who listened to and heeded the suggestions they were given.

 Giggles was asked to reword some of her description, select better tags and to add a picture of her brooch being worn.  She did a very nice job! 










  AuntKaren (me) had comments suggesting that the colors on the 5 pictures weren't truly the same as one another, to try to show a view that gave size perception, and to reword some of the description and materials.








We both thank each of you who left great critique comments!  It seems that the work on/in our shops is, indeed, continuous! 

For my part I want to thank all of you for your honest observations and for the suggestions on how to change this listing.  One day when I find a good model you can bet that I won't let them get away! 

Until the next time... Have a wonderful week!

It's time for another critique!

Let's "get started" again!
Wow I just saw that there hasn't been a new post for a month!  Well let's fix that, shall we? With the holidays rapidly advancing on us we need to start sprucing up our shops a bit.  Let's get back into looking closely at things going on in our shops.  We can use the critique of Giggles' item as a start for checking our own shops. 

Giggles would like the tags title and description critiqued. She likes the pics and knows what  needs to do be done to fix those.

......Taking a deep breath..... Because so many of you have asked why I've not submitted one of my items .....
heavy sigh.... I've decided to put myself on the hotseat too.


AuntKaren:
This purse has been in my shop for a long time.  I'm having a hard time understanding why it's not gotten more views to say the least.  Is it the description? Tags? Pictures?

Both Giggles and I are well supplied with bandaids so give it to us straight! 

Happy critiquing everyone!
