Crafting An Efficient Storefront With Icons
Designing your own Etsy shop is fun but if you want to sell your wares there, you need to know how to create an Etsy shop icon. Etsy is a wonderful online community where you can sell your crafts or products. It is easy to set up your own store within minutes and start making money right away. But how do you design your Etsy shop icon?
The process of designing your own Etsy shop icon starts with creating a free account. After you register, create your account page and upload your graphic, photo or photograph. Then upload a copy of your custom etsy shop icon template to your computer. Copy the template from the Help menu on the left side of the page. Open the template in your favorite software and customize it by adding your company’s logo and color scheme.
It took you less than four hours ago to get your own free Etsy shop icon. But now you may be wondering how to design your own graphic. Don’t worry, this process is easy. All you need is the free e-book Design Your Own Etsy Logo by Kyle Munzenberg. Kyle shows you everything you need to know in detail including everything you need to know about Ico and flash design.
You can download the Design Your Own Etsy Logo template right away after purchase. The same graphic design tool used in this tutorial can be used to create any number of free icons. Kyle explains in detail how to use each icon and what its uses are. After you have created your first 10 icons, it only takes a few minutes to change your theme and switch out your Crafted icon.
So, how many icons do you need to create in order to display your store for free? Surprisingly, it depends on the product that you’re selling. An icon can be used as a stand alone picture, a desktop icon, or as a search engine redirect. Here’s a list of the icons that Kyle has created for each product type:
When you go through the free guide on Design Your Own Etsy Shop Icons you’ll notice that they don’t include a craft ingredient list. This list will be available after you finish the book and purchase the icon from the main seller page. Here, you’ll see estimated reading time, average shipping costs, minimum spend, comments left and much more! The estimated reading time is based on real customers who have posted their experience with the product. Kyle says this information is very useful for new Etsy shop owners.
In the next free e Etsy shop icon guide, I’ll discuss ways to convert your Icos into HTML code. I love the way the authors cover this topic in the free e Etsy book. You’ll learn the different Icos formats, including PSD to HTML conversion, CSS to HTML, and conversion using an Icoon Icons template. The authors explain why PSD to HTML is the best method for creating Icons for your shop. They also share a free e Icoon Icons template with you which you can use to convert any Icos file into a HTML code so that you can use it on your site!
One of the coolest aspects of using an Icoon Icons template is that it includes a banner builder. This is a great feature because you can set up your branding images, and then use your chosen graphic to create an attractive banner. This is especially useful if you have a shortcoming or want to change up your branding immediately. You can switch out just one graphic at a time to add subtle variations to your branding. If you have questions, be sure to check out the link at the bottom of this article for a brief description of how to use an Icoon Icons template for your own Icons shop icon and other tips for making your digital shop branding more effective.
