How often do you add to your shop?
I add a few things at least once a month.
I also try to change featured items regularly as well as my avatar.
so
how often does everyone else add to their shop?
I am trying to add something at least five times a week, but that does not always happen. I am trying to get into a rhythm of making a bunch of small items, then a big item while I space those small items out over a week.
For example, I got in a headband making frenzy last week, so I still have several to list. I am going to spend the next several days working on my Creative Challenge item, but will still be able to list something each day since I have those headbands stockpiled.
My current goal is to get at least five items in each section, with 10 in a section of quick items, like headbands or scrubbies.
Hi Crystal, I try to list or renew something every day. Usually list something in the morning and renew something in the evening. It doesn't always work that way. My items are small so I can make several in a day...it is the finishing touches that takes more time! I don't ever change my avatar....I associate people with their avatars so when they change them I don't recognize them readily in a thread!....that is just my opinion! I think people choose something that has meaning to them for their avatar...mine is my first Blythe Hat ...I listed it and it sold within 24 hours....then I was hooked LOL!

I list once I get something new made, which lately isn't that often. I tend to make a lot for friends, so not much to sell. If my items expire, I usually relist them. I wish I had new things to add once a week. I try to change my featured items every 2 weeks. (Try.)
I try to list or relist at least once a day, but it doesn't always happen (I have stuff made, but I tend to get too lazy to list it. Heh).
As for the avatar, personally I like when people use an item from their shop or something relevant to their shop. It doesn't bother me when people change them, mostly because I'm on the forums so rarely. (I mostly stick to team threads and then I know everyone anyway.) :)
I don't have a set rule, Crystal, just whenever I have something to sell. Sometimes I won't post anything for a while because I'm either making something for myself, a gift or an order for people in my neighborhood because they come first.
I am part of a one a day challenge where we (try) create one thing and list it daily. We started this in April and I think that it has helped my sales tremendously. I am upto 50+ items in each shop and hoping to reach 75+ by the end of july.
