Do You Spring Clean?

Construction Zone Wall Decal

Yesterday and today I've been working on Spring cleaning in my Etsy shop, MadScientistsDesigns. Whew! It's a lot of work, but totally worth it! I'm pretty happy with the results so far.

 Yesterday I went through all of my listings and re-cropped the thumbnail photos to highlight a close-up of each item being careful to make similar items a similar size in the preview thumbnail photo.

Today was the biggie: re-vamping the listing descriptions. Ugh! If you've ever done this, you know that over time you can lose the symmetry/consistency in your descriptions and (horrors!!) even leave out vital information! Yikes!
 
Before:

One hand-formed dragonfly ring in brass with a special dark pink wings. Adjustable and comfortable. The dragonfly's wings and tail hug your finger.. The perfect accent for your Steampunk, Goth, or Vampire fashion!

Jewelry comes wrapped and ready for gifting. See the last picture for examples of packaging.

  1. Excellent changes! I love that you added a definition and meaning for the piece. I think it will allow people to connect with it on a more personal level.

  2. Great improvement! I keep meaning to do something with mine but I spent my energy cleaning out the kitchen cupboards instead!

  4. Yes! The new one is much better and I love the dragonfly lore you've added. Nice touch. I will pick a bit and ask you to review your first sentence to see if maybe you have an unecessary 'a' in there....I could sure be wrong here though.
