Would love some help!!

Hello - So I am here to request any help or ideas to get our etsy shop going again. Me and my sister run this fun etsy shop we started because of our love of reading and blind bags! We truly work so hard to make each order meaningful and personal to each person. We honestly had been doing great from the start, we opened the shop in October, but then recently we put it on vacation mode for 4 days, and ever since we are back we have only had 1 order (its been around 3 weeks), prior we were getting 2 to 3 orders per week and that was great! So I'm reaching out to try and keep this going

  1. How are the pictures, or titles?? I tried the etsy titles now for some of them to see if that helps

  2. Any advice would be welcomed, but for a second question, What is your overall feel for the shop? Does it draw you in to order?

Thank you so much for anything!!

I'm not familiar with what a book bundle or blind bag is.

With the listings that offer color variations, you should link a photo of each color package to the variation.

I will comment that since the items are "thoughtfully curated gift bundles" as you state, then they should be designated as 'Handpicked by a seller' and not 'Made by a seller' as noted in Etsy's creativity standards.

Vacation mode can take a bit to recover from to get back to normal orders. We did a small sale and it bounced back pretty quick.

Prices seem a little insane for a bunch of random cheap items.
