✎ Helpful Shop Tips |
Organization Keeping your shop organized. It not only makes you look clean and professional, but it also helps potential customers navigate more quickly around your shop!
Dos & Don'ts It's a method that helps potential buyers in custom shops know what your preferences are. It eliminates the confusion when filling out forms and making your customer aware of what you'll do or won't do.
Slots You may want to specify whether or not you have slots. Slots are useful if you don't want to be overwhelmed with tons orders at once. If you have a limited amount of orders, or "slots" as many call them, then say so! You can also do waiting lists and priority orders, but be sure to stay on top of your orders and only have as many as you can handle.
Good luck with your shop! |
