I'm curious about trying to promote my shop with a Featured Spot. I think I'll try if for 24 hours and see if it draws any more attention, what's $5, right? Just wondering if anyone has an opinion either way on this.

Definately! If the picture is great how could it not catch attention? I only do it on stocking days when there is a lot in my store.

I don't know how much it costs, and I am not a seller. But as a buyer, it definitely makes me look at the store, esp. if the photo is good:)

Agreed! A great picture is always enticing!

Just make sure you put a picture of something that is stocked too. And try to put your link in your siggy. That catches me every time.

I definitely visit stores that I see in the featured shops--good pictures are what draw me in. And when I've purchased a featured shop, I get a lot more visits to my store. So I definitely think they're worth the money.

They catch my eye too - more than banner ads sometimes.
