Ok played around and added a custom page so I can edit descriptions so they are not so repetitive.

Hi

Sorry I am so looooong winded!!! And please take all of this as friendly and trying to be positive.

Welcome to BISI. I love handmade soaps, so I had to check your out! They look yummy!

I couldn't find the page with the info. I think it is because you either had to use the About Us page  or upgrade the account to get 20 extra pages.

I do agree that having the same manufacturing info on every description is a bit tedious and would look great on another informational page!!

The images are really appealing!

I found did find Typos or maybe it is something I didn't understand:

Home page-

  • I focus on superior organic herbs from frontier ...is this Frontier- a company or "the frontier"?
  • Most are vegan quality ,containing ...Space is after the comma- not before

Now- JMHO- the descriptions. I would make the Title smaller so it doesn't overlap and look bad..

Organic Goat Milk Calendula
Handmade
allergen free

On my screne the 3 lines overlap each other. I had this problem with my descriptions and even home page and it is because of the font size.  Could be my monitor.

Just style:

"This is a cold process Saponification soap. This makes a wonderful soap that is gentle and more moisturizing to your skin than soaps bought in the grocery store. "

In the product descriptions I would make this the second or third paragraph. I am not 100% sure --maybe someone else knows- But I think the spiders need to see the item info and not just the same beginning description line. To me "what kind of soap" seems more important than seeing the above first in a description over and over.

I have wrestled with the way my descriptions look in the BISI shopping area listings. This appearance is due to what the BISI program sees/allows. Look at the BUY section off of the BISI home page. Some products show 3 lines of teaser description and some show one - I want as much unique info out there to draw customers in. Check the way the desriptions are written to see why some sellers have 3 lines of good product content and  why some have great keywording showing and some not. Don't waste the advertising space BISI gives you or that Google gives you!

Below are examples I copied from the Shop product list. What would you like to have seen as your teaser description?

  • You'll LOVE the quality of the silky satin Spray's. "PICK YOUR SCENT" ....
  • ADOBE mineral blush is a matte, earthy colored blush that works well with most skin tones. Loose mineral blushes are silky smooth used for blush or contour. Ex....

OK I am off of my soapbox!

I am still fixing things for my webstore. This is way different thinking than online auctions!

LOL I am revamping to try and make desc different. There is a link at the bottom of the home page above featured products that has some info about how these are made so I don't have to go into it on each item. Any ideas how to make it more visible?

Cheri,

I LOVE your new page that tells your customers how you make your soap.

I think I have something like that on my main website (I know I have photos of my soaps in various stages of the process - but don't remember if I wrote it in words), but I should add the info to my BiSi site to - or maybe I will just give the link to it on my BiSi.  

Thanks for the reminder to check mine too.

Cathy,

Very good detailed suggestions.   It is wonderful how we all try to help each other out here.

I am still tweaking my main site that I have had for a few years now.

I'm sure BiSi will be the same.   As I learn more, I'll add to it and/or fix it.

Cheri--Your store is lovely! (I love the template, so much so that I'm changing one of my stores to that template). I agree that you need to bump down the font size on your titles. I thought it was my monitor or the fact that I run Windows Vista (that messes up one of my website logos and I can't seem to fix it). But if another person sees it all jumbled together, you just need to decrease the font size and you should be fine. Also work on adding more products to your store. I'm sure that will help bring the buyers in to shop. Good luck with your sales.
