Stacy -


You have a very nice shop. 


Since you ask for comments, I will throw out a few minor suggestions.


It is important to catch the eye of a shopper immediately when she first hits your shop.  If you could trim a little bit from your welcome message, it would increase the amount of product shoppers see without scrolling down, increasing the chance a shopper will be interested enough to look seriously rather than to bounce out of your shop.


You indicate that among the uses of your houses are as children's playhouses.  To me, and apparently also to Webster, a playhouse is a structure in which children play.  It would be a rather diminutive child who could fit inside one of your houses.  Perhaps the term playhouse means something different in Fort Smith, but consider whether that term might be confusing.


Since some of the houses are intended to be usable as children's toys or a use that would result in frequent handling, such as a dog treat holder, you might want to comment on how sturdy those are, and whether they would tolerate some rough play or lots of handling.  I know paper mache can be surprisingly sturdy, but many shoppers may be hesitant to buy.


I like your photos.  When you are ready for a premium shop I think the larger thumbnails if you choose a 3-across layout would really flatter them and make them pop visually.  Your houses have a lot of detail that is lost in the smaller thumbnails, and you need your thumbnails to pique shoppers' interest to get them to the listing page.


In checking several of your listings I did not see any photos showing the top removed.  That might help shoppers to visualize how they would use the house to store items.  The photos on your Facebook page do a lot to help to understand the construction and uses of the houses. 


Are you charging enough for the houses?  Your prices seem low for the workmanship that must go into these and in comparison to similar products I have seen.  I think you are going to do very well here at Zibbet.  It's good to have you here.
