10 Tips for Making Successful Etsy Treasuries (Continued)
Here's a snap shot of 3 of my recent treasuries. I picked the 4 best items for the top 4 spots. Focusing on the pictures & the items that I thought would draw the most people in. Because that is the goal, getting your treasury & the amazing items featured in it seen!
Have you ever noticed that Etsy & websites & publications like pictures with white, clean backgrounds? It took me a while to figure this out, but it is true!
Notice how the backgrounds are mostly white + clean and all the items flow well and look like they belong together? Perfection.
I always try and choose products that are photographed well & have a clean, white, minimalist background. That does not mean every item I pick will fall in this category, but the majority of them will.
There are are 16 spots to fill when you create an Etsy Treasury. The front page only features 12 of those items, but you still want to fill all 16 spots with quality, beautiful pieces that match the rest of your treasury.
Why?
The most important reason is to have items that can replace items that sell while the treasury is being featured. If an item sells and you don't have any items picked to replace it, that's a problem.
I always start by emailing the shop owners I featured & letting them know I featured their item in my treasury. I say something like:

Sounds pretty obvious, but it's so important! Choose items that are beautiful, unique & are photographed really well! Make sure your 16 items go together and are easy to look at. Make sure your eyes can just flow across the treasury with ease.
Everyone loves looking at pretty, well put together, interesting treasuries...don't they?!
