My only suggestion would be to move your valentine cards out of featured spots and move up the mothers day and easter cards more prominantly. Good job! And good luck!

Hi Bettie,

Wonderful selection! I love the variety which must come from all your travels, plus the mix of traditional art and photography.

Susan snuck in before I finished looking at your store, but I was going to say the same. Be sure to rotate your featured, and first page or two in the gallery with the upcoming holidays. The majority of card shoppers will come from searches at GCU and the other sites they sister with, but for those one store at a time shoppers, you want the current sellers up front and center. LOL

Otherwise, looks good and the only other thing i can say is, "Get on the stick and get some more cards up!" Grin

Best always, Randy

Nice job. I would like to see the text underneath your banner more brightly. Maybe try that lighter shade you are using elsewhere to stay in the scheme . . Looking forward to the next several 100's to come.. Congrats on that too! Lj

Congratulations Bettie! Those milestones are important and well worth celebrating!

My suggestion, in addition to Susan's, is to also take your Christmas cards and send them to the back of your product gallery. You can bring them forward when the season comes around again.

Your store front should be showing Susan's suggestions, in addition to Birthdays, New Babies, Weddings, Graduations, etc...

I also noticed that you have not created your own Welcome message under your store banner. It still reads the generic new store message. You might want to put something there to introduce customers to your store.

Thanks Bettie!
I see we started about the same time last year.
BTW - I would change that little shop bulletin too - you have a Valentine message in there.
Agreed - christmas should go to the back of the bus too.

Best
