Folksy Listing Review – ‘Oval Ceramic Pot’ by The Potting Studio
Being able to write a good listing is an essential skill when you sell online. In this video series we enlist the help of copywriter Martha Moger aka The Stitch Writer and ask her to analyse one real-life product on Folksy.com, to consider how that listing could be improved, so it’s more likely to be seen in search results and sold.
The idea behind this series is to show you how, using concrete examples, you can write more effective titles, descriptions and tags, and create better listings in your own online shop. In this episode we look at an ‘Oval Ceramic Pot’ by The Potting Studio – find the revised listing with a new title, description and inspiration section on Folksy here.
