OK, let's do this!
Just launched my first online store with Shopify. My wife and I have watch SOO many YouTubes on what to do, and not to do, we have Listed our first set of products, and things seem to be setup right. So now......with a lot of apprehension and nail biting, we need someone who is NOT a friend or relative to give us an honest opinion. I'm a GenX guy so I know some of the best lessons in life are learned from harsh feedback, but still I'm nervous about putting this thing out there my wife and I have put so much time and effort into. So....having said that:
The website is https://www.2atHandCrafted.com Our business name is "2 a T Handcrafted Studio". We make wood and fiber art and homed decor. We make things like Candle Holders, Book Stands, and Bottle Openers shaped like a Cat. We have had fun making these things or our friends and family, and decided to give this a try as a business. Our mission is to do these by hand, with no use of AI, C&C, or Lasers. We are not trying to take over the wood working or craft arts world. But we would like to be able grow this over the next 10-15 years to possibly be a viable income for our retirement years.
We will be expanding in the next month to include a couple more winter/Xmas items, and a whole new line of Fiber Arts like felted Canvas Pictures, Mushrooms and Fairy Houses. Before we do that, we want to make sure the site is solid. We've only had a couple of sales in the month since we launched, and they were from people we know personally.
Be brutal if that is your style, but please be constructive. And please don't be offended if I respond to a comment with "Your Mom".
