They seem basic and fall under, offer good value...but it's so easy to let these fall away. Thanks!

Even if the store offers the lowest price on the net, I'm always hesitant to make purchases from bland and uninspired stores. @Trevor
Same here. Even if the store offers the lowest price on the net, I’m always hesitant to make purchases from bland and uninspired stores.

I think putting a little of your experience and personality into the site or product reviews is what brings people back; they tend to feel a connection to you. For me, I only shop at sites that sound too stuffy and mechanical when there is a deal too good to pass up. I would rather spend a couple extra bucks at a site where the people writing it have a similar personality as I do. Don't be afraid to be yourself when you make your site. Great tips!

Etsy is great for ecomm and design, but there are so many others offering similar product. Some things in the interm to get an idea how her site is doing is to use Google Analytics, Google Adwords, and Google Docs. I recently found out is that Google Docs offers a survey form you can build and send out. This was fantastic, as I was expecting to wait until her new site was built to do it. This is something "hidden" to me that your readers may want to know about. I am a web developer, and my with my wife’s design talents, we intend to get her site off Etsy.
