If you aren’t seeing an increase in your sales, here are several marketing tips for you to consider:
1. Make sure your product pages are as concise and accurate as possible.
Often, the tiny catalog snapshot just isn’t enough to communicate just how lovely and cool your product is. At times it is important to leverage all the tools you have at your disposal to really show off your work. One way is to insert HTML text into the Descriptions window on your products Submissions page. This allows you to create your own Ad for each one of your products, which is illustrated in the Create Your Own Ads tutorial.
