I would like to drive traffic to my shops so I can start making a living. To do that, I need to make people aware the shops even exist, so technically, my answer is both. Right now I am just barely scraping by on my sole source of income.
I already tried links to my other shops, but I wasn't getting any traffic despite posting on Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest. Someone told me that I should link directly to my designs, but I realized that isn't exactly the best option either, because of the availability of the designs in many different sizes and colors. The site would become inundated with way too many items to sift through.
I have each design set up in a collection of the different sizes and colors for the design, so what I think I will try to do is create images with some pictures of mockups with the design applied to home decor and walls, along with a list of available colors and sizes of each design, and link each image to the collection in my shop, so customers can actually view the different sizes and colors inside the collection and choose whatever suits them best.
Whichever item they select, they can then click on that particular item, and from there they can choose if they want to order fabric, wallpaper, or a finished home decor item available from the site.
Mainly I am focusing on my Spoonflower shop. I am sure I will come up with obstacles when trying to list items from my other shops as well, so I am just going to focus on one shop at a time until I have everything organized. Each of these shops is different from one another in how they operate and how they are to be listed, so what works for one shop may not work for another.
