Lots of jigs for sale!

I pour and paint my own jigs and have started trying to sell them online. If any one is interested they can visit my Etsy shop:

https://www.etsy.com/shop/rojigs

I have taken the advice from everyone that I have gotten from an earlier post and varied the colors in a single pack of jigs. I now have three 24 packs of jigs for sale, in sizes 1/8oz, 1/16oz, and 1/32oz. There are now 8 jigs of 3 different colors in one pack: 8 purple, 8 pink and white, and 8 orange and yellow. I would very much love if anyone just took a look at my product and shop (or maybe even bought some jigs); along with that if anyone gave me some constructive criticism, ideas, or suggestions I would be very happy. I am not trying to push my product on anyone but feel free to buy some jigs! Thanks!

Those jig heads fully molded? Flat spots?

Just a few suggestions;
(1) Make it easy for your potential customer.
(2) Make it easier for your potential customer.
(3) Make it even easier for your potential customer.

As an example; in your post above, you provide the web address to place an order. Is it “easy” for a potential customer to cut and paste this information? Is it “even easier” if you do the work and make it a “hot link”? Many folks won’t take the time to cut and paste. Already you may have lost a potential sale.

(4) Present as much information as possible as quickly as possible. You need to hold the interest of your customer, especially new potential customers.

Example; When I do cut and paste, the page that comes up shows me what? I see you are selling jigs. I see a photo of a pile of jigs with a description. Scrolling down the page, I see the SAME photo 3 more times. Only thing that changes is the size in the description.

My conclusion as a potential customer? Meh, don’t care for the colors shown, don’t know what hook size, not interested. Again, a potential sale lost.

It might be better, as a caption for the very first photo;
List the sizes
list the colors
TELL the folks “Click on the photo for more information”

(5) Offer more choices Only thing to choose as listed in the AD, is hook size.
Sure, down at the very bottom you say to contact you for other colors. Why? Why make it another step for the customer? Make it easy for the customer.

Set the ad up such that:
(A) select jig size.
(B) select UP TO 3 colors. Make the color selection a drop down menu. That gives them options within the package price. They select 1 color= you send 24 jigs of the same color. They select two colors= you send 12 of each color. They select 3 colors= you send 8 of each color.

Granted these are only suggestions, do with them what you wish.

Really good info above. I will add that I don’t like buying assorted color packs of anything. I don’t really want to buy purple if I only want chart-orange.

If you want to stick to a minimum order quantity, ok. But I’d suggest opening it up to a minimum quanity but the customer gets to choose how they want to break up the colors.

Thanks for your ideas! This is kind of what I wanted to do but Etsy, the website I am selling on does not offer ways when you list an item to have the price the customer pay be based on the options that they choose. I think I will start trying to sell my jigs on eBay. It may cost a little more but more people are familiar with the website and I would be able to set it up more like you suggested. Thanks for your suggestions again they are very much appreciated!

P.S. I didn’t realize that my link wasn’t a hot link, but I fixed it!

The package price would stay the same, 24 jigs for x number of dollars. Only the color choice is controlled by the customer. I don’t know if the website you are using can be configured to allow what I suggested.
