Your Etsy
shop banner is the first thing a potential buyer will see. So, it must be
attractive and inform clients about your shop. I would like to share with you
a few of my favorite banners on Etsy as well as some good advice about how to
create a good banner:
1. It’s important to give viewers
a good idea of what they’ll find in your shop (you may want to insert some pictures of your products in your
banner; don’t forget about specific colors
and forms related to your item listings)
2. Use your banner to inform about
your shop and products (add a short tag line).
3. Use your banner to inform about
promotions, sales or even about your holidays.
4. Crop a photo to the correct
banner size (Etsy measures: 760 x 100 pixels).
5. I suggest your banner and your
avatar (small profile picture) should have the same colors and/or forms.
