Welcome to iCraftGifts.com!

We're excited to have you as part of our community. Each member is as unique as the products they create. We want to give your items the spotlight they deserve. Here are a few tips to make sure you get the most out of your iCraftGifts.com experience.

Set Up Your Creator Exhibit Page
Display your merchandise on a personalized page. You're able to include logos, banner, your photo, your contact info, your website URL, product prices, descriptions and photos. There are no limits to the amount of products you submit to your Creator Exhibit, and items will remain featured until you remove them. You also have the option of accepting requests for custom orders or commissioned work.

Use Quality Photos
Your product photos are very important. Make sure you post high-quality images, preferably professionally done or shot with a good camera. Natural lighting and white backgrounds are recommended. Also, don't forget to give yourself an avatar! It will allow others to get to know you better.  If you need help with product photos, the iCraftGifts.com team can either recommend you a great commercial photographer in your area, or edit your photos to make them look perfect. Simply email us your photos at Support@iCraftGifts.com before posting them to the site.

Below are image size guidelines to help you out:
Avatar images - Width 230px
Page Banner - Width 625px
Product Shots - Width 860px or less
 
We allow any image height. We will then resize images for their use on various pages (thumbnails, etc.)

Use Product Titles
Make sure you include main keywords that describe your product in the Product Title. It will be easier for a search engine to find them.

Have Full Product Descriptions
Include as much information for buyers as possible when describing your products (e.g. size, materials used, care instructions, etc.) Add as many keywords as you can to ensure content is easily indexed by search engines. This also makes your page more appealing for buyers.

Double Check Spelling & Grammar
Well-written copy will make your product pages look professional, and will leave a good impression on your buyers.

Post Accurate Information
Make sure all your info is correct, especially your email address. That's the only way for iCraftGifts.com and your buyers to communicate with you. Also, decide on your Shipping and Return Policies. It will help you avoid any misunderstandings with buyers.

Don't Stress And Take Your Time
Don't worry if your pages don't look perfect right away. You can always fix things later. Also, don't get disappointed if you don't get many page views on the first day. The traffic on the site will increase with time. Promote your products using your personalized URL (e.g. https://icraftgifts.com/erikahendrix), and post items frequently.

Visit Our Community Pages Often
We will keep our members informed about upcoming promotions and new site features as they occur, so check back often. Our Community pages are a great place to mingle, network, and be inspired. Enjoy amusing conversations, get advice and information, find support and have fun! You can comment on the message boards, read articles, participate in surveys, share your photos, and more. This is your place to express yourself, and stay up to date on everything iCraftGifts.com.

For further information on maximizing your listings, have a look at our FAQ page. If you have any additional questions or comments, send a note to Feedback@iCraftGifts.com. We'd love to hear from you.
