✨️✨️✨️ Folksy store please read. ✨️✨️✨️
Ive always been honest regarding my business as I feel honesty is always best even if its not always positive.
Im seriously considering closing my Folksy store at the beginning of November as its just not cost effective to keep it open. This year ive had 2 sales both within January I originally thought it was a grate start to the year but sadly nothing continued. Ive tried by improving photos, item descriptions and changed postage option to tracked.
Ive also been posting more on a couple of Folksy sellers pages ect however while I can get people over to the shop, look at items favourite my store and itmes not a single person comes back to buy. This is frustrating Ive done posts asking for advice and not a sing person said anything unfortunately I cant work out how to convert views to sales. Therefore unless I suddenly get a resnable amount of sales that become consistent my Folksy store will close.
I will be having a website which Im busy creating using sumup which I can have for free as I have a sumup card reader. The website will not have any restrictions therefore I can add the studs as well. I also will have an option for anyone local to myself in Cramlington and surrounding areas to arrange to collect your order from the shop, this is something I will expain more when the shop is open.
Thnak you
Claire
