We have been so happy to see the SCAD + ETSY = LOVE Team applications flooding in! I wanted to say a quick hello from Laurel and I to all our new members :)
The beauty of being in a team is having helpful incites from your fellow team members to constantly evolve and tweak your shop so that not only you will increase business, but also to bring other team members exposure on Etsy as well. Now more than ever there are so many things to shift threw online that it can be a very exhausting process seeing everything. While we want our team to not be too labor intensive for those of you on a busy schedule, I do want to point out that for some of your fellow teammates their shop may already be the prime focus for showcasing their business. By having some shops empty or without an avatar/ shop banner it lowers the standards for the overall group. Here are some helpful (and quick) tips to get your shop appearance set and up and ready for business:
Standard Info for Banners and Avatars
For your Avatar/ Profile Picture:
You can use image editing software (for example: Adobe Photoshop or GIMP) to tweak a photo you've taken.
You will need to crop or re size your image to be a small square, 75 x 75 pixels in size at 72 dpi resolution. The file should be one of these formats: .jpg, .gif or .png.
For your Banner graphic at the top of your Shop:
Make sure you have your properly sized image saved on your computer. Your banner should be 760 x 100 pixels at 72 dpi. Banner images must be .jpg, .png or .gif file format.
To upload your banner image to your Etsy shop, go to Your Account > Info & Appearance. Click the Browse button to locate the file on your computer, then click the Save button at the bottom of the page. Your new banner will show up in your shop momentarily.
