Showcase Booth Set-up & Selling Guide

Our main goal is to have a buying experience that is simple and easy as possible. People looking to purchase an item online normally look first at the item, price next and then how to purchase the item now. The more back and forth required to make a sale, the more time it takes and the more chance of the sale not going through.

Introduction

If you have done the previous show, you should have been already added to the page as an admin. If not, please friend me "Karen Kosies" on facebook and I will add you.

Your album/booth will be set up on the corresponding facebook page,
https://www.facebook.com/DollShopsOnline/. The direct link to your Album/Booth will be sent to you upon conformation of participation.

BUT First,

New Facebook format requires you switch to the DollShopsOnline.com profile to edit your Album/Booth. Log on to Facebook. Click on your personal profile icon in the upper right corner of the page and it opens a box that says "See all Profiles". Click on that and then click on the DollShopsOnline.com dot to "log in" to the page. Go over to the left and you will see the black house and under that, the DollShopsOnline profile icon. Click on the profile icon and it will bring up the main page. You will then go to the left and click on the DollShopsOnline.com profile Icon. Go to photos and then under photos is albums. Find your album. You'll see three dots in the upper right hand corner. Click edit album and you are now in your album and able to add/delete or edit.

Delete previous item photos to your booth

If you
participated in a previous online show and need to delete the previous item photos, go into your booth, Click the upper right hand corner “” Click "Edit Album",
Click on the upper right hand corner “” of the photo you wish to delete, Click "Delete Photo".


Add item photos to your booth

If you haven't already done so, please friend me, Karen Kosies.

You must first be authorized to add your photo items. Once you friend me, I will add you as an admin to the page. You should receive the invite at your notification bell (upper right hand corner of your facebook page)

Item photos should be close up and clear with backgrounds that will not distract. Only one photo of each item is necessary as more than one photo will only confuse buyers. If you are selling your items in "groups", it's best to group similar items together. People who like or collect a particular item (size/type) would be more inclined to purchase a group of them rather several groups with just one of them included within the group.

The first photo in your booth is the logo/icon to your booth. This photo should reflect what you offer for sale and should be something somewhat desirable to encourage potential buyers to click on your booth. Your online shop link and contact information - name, email, phone (call or text), if desired, will be as the title of your booth (album) as well as listed in this photo description. You can also list a bio and/or terms in the logo or booth (album) description, if desired.

To load your items quickly ~

1. Copy all your item photos in a folder on your computer. It is suggested one photo per items. You probably have more in your shop or you can always send more upon request if need be.

2. Type out your Item Description for each item in a text, or word file following this format.

Item Descriptions ~ Best to keep it simple - just the facts

Title & Short description (include size):
Price & Shipping info:
For more information, photos or to purchase now, click (link that goes to your item in 
      your *Ebay, Etsy, Ruby Lane shop or your website)
If you do not have an instant purchase process on your website, state your
      acceptable payment options.
Contact information: Name, Email, Phone (call or text), If desired

3. YOU MUST BE IN YOUR BOOTH BEFORE ADDING YOUR PHOTOS.

4. CLICK ON "Add Photos/Videos" (right panel of the screen). It will open a screen. Go to your computer folder and highlight all the pictures and add.  It may take a moment or two to complete.

5. Now you have all your items in the "booth" album. Cut and paste the descriptions from your text/word document into each photo. Click POST on the bottom left column.

6. You can always go back in to edit, add, remove, etc. your items by opening your booth and clicking on the "..." in the upper right hand corner under your profile picture. A menu will drop down. Click Edit Album. If you want to edit you cover photo, that options is there as well

How to Copy and Paste (just in case you don't already know)

Hold your mouse button down and slide over the text to highlight it to copy. Right click and hold your mouse and select "copy" or press ctrl-c at the same time on your keyboard to copy.

Click your cursor in the other screen where you want to put the text in the description box for the photo. Right click and hold your mouse and select "paste" or press ctrl-v at the same time on your keyboard to paste.

Once the show is open, I will post and pin on Facebook
a list of the "booth" albums and how to find the sellers.
(Click on Photos and click on the ALBUMS tab)

Things to do to promote your booth during show times.

*Share your booth link on your personal/business Facebook pages timelines.
*Email your customers about the Showcase event.
*Keep in mind, every time you add an item, it will post on the page timeline. You can also post a photo or two on the page timeline. (https://www.facebook.com/DollShopsOnline/) but please don't post a lot as things do get lost on the time line. You can also boost them if you so choose. If you don't know much about the boosting process, please reach out to me for further information but one thing is that you don't want the boost to go past the end of the event.
