Memberships help with adding perks to a booth that is already set up

Silver gives you options to add a few extras for presentation of your booth.

The upper levels will offer things like turbo traffic and extra advertising..but nothing will actually work if the booth is not already having some kind of success or is already set up

I would suggest customizing your banner/avatar. Make the booth your own. it looks ‘generic’ now. Give the booth a name (Edit booth options) and put it on a banner. This is the name that will show in the google shopping feed..

Use the booth panel customization options that the silver membership gives you to put in information you want your buyers to know (this is the area under the chatbox)

Make use everything is google shopping compliant and you have activated the advertising level that will send your items to google.

Make the first part of your description a good strong descriptive sentence for google organic, the first 250 characters of the description are sent (no boiler plate info here) ….google prefers this to be sentences now (they dumped the listing description format some time ago)

Fill out your booth details this is where you put in your shipping information, and anything else..This is done by filling in the details in the Edit booth Options booth overview, etc

And fill out a bit more on your profile (About Me) and any info like twitter, pinterest, facebook business page..if you have it

Make the booth yours…

Dee has some great graphic that she offers free to bonz sellers

many other sellers offer to customize/make banners for a price

Make booth panels (this is the area under the banner/chatbox) for coupons, specials or any other info you want visitors to know

This can be accessed under
Edit Booth options
Booth Appearance

Setting up everything is part of the success…
Then consider anything more later once everything is done

You can access your Silver Membership options is Edit Booth Settings…Forgot google analytics which is under Title and Overview

A few I do not know what they are as they were added after I dropped my membership..

Booth settings..booth appearance..customize booth panels (Silver membership)..actually meant custom sort (seller preferences), and sub categories which are membership options, but may be a gold member now instead of silver..

ccmom says: November 01, 2016

I just looked..custom sort is Silver membership

ArtistsUnion says: November 01, 2016

Yes, custom categories and custom sort are two different options.

“sub categories which are membership options, but may be a gold member now instead of silver”. I have subcategories in a basic booth, so it seems they are now available to all B. members.

ccmom says: November 02, 2016

they keep changing things, dropping some options, adding others..since I have not had my membership for a few years…cause I am not working the booths as much, I haven’t kept up with all the changes…I have a whole section that is called legacy options, probably does’t even show for new members

Ditto all the above and………..
Tour photos look blurry.
You can not ship media mail from China.
Maybe you should raise your price and include free shipping.
Good luck and I like your stuff. :)
