AIO for trying to help this person with their shop for constructive critisicm, but I 'accidentaly' gave her feedback on an aspect of the shop she wasn't asking for? (Sorry for the long text, I don't know how to upload photos :( - I ended up giving up and told her I was wrong was that right choice?

DolleeBallee: Hey! Restarting a business I opened in 2010. New focus will be on my traditional art, upcycled resale clothing of specific niche and vintage curation but I did want to supplement the story with a few original designs using my art. Just things me and my friends would wear.

So far Im IN LOVE with dresses. Miami Sublimation is great. Takes about 7 full business days to get items but theyre really great quality.

Just wanted some feedback from maybe some POD veterans. Its not my main focus but with not needing space to store merch, it can be a helpful branch of my business model and a way to walk around promoting my art and brand. Would you say more products with my designs will increase sales or should I continue to stay focused so that options feels more special and curated? I really don't want a POD feel because the business isnt just that. I dont have my art or vintage items moved to my Shopify website yet from Etsy and Depop. But I can be found there as well: Boo and Gaga Boutique.

Me : no offense feels a little gimmicky, products are nice but website presentation could use some AI shop generator help. Just suggestions!

DolleeBallee: Not being defensive but what is the gimmick? I genuinely cant see the definition of that word tied to anything here?I also dont use or support AI but the site definitely needs some overhauling and Im trying to chip away at that for sure. Im finally getting the hang of shopify more. I think Im going to hire someone to get it all straightened out VERY soon.

Me: Its a good shop, I just feel like there are just so many prodcuts, that arent even organized to categories, I feel like its a sovenior shop on the side of the road.
DolleeBallee:

DolleeBallee: Hahaha okay. The page is definitely under construction but none of the items are even close to souvenir shop quality. Dont know what your issue is but I hope you get well soon!

Me: Hey, I was just trying to give you advice, dont take it if you dont want to, no need to come off like that. I was just trying to be helpful and not disrespectful at all, hence 'no offesnse' 'producuts are nice', 'just suggestions'. Some poeple can take constructive cristiscm at thats okay! I don;t have much of an issue, and never said anything about prodcuts being sovuenier quality, I said the shop design is. Its alright though everyones always learning :) !

DolleeBallee: If you like to do some learning: It wasnt constructive criticism and most people "no offense" before they say something offensive. Its a regularly discussed thing about being a top passive aggressive phrase. All youve said is wishy washy at best and rude at worst. I only just *now* know what aspect of the whole thing youre claiming dont like- the shop design, which isnt what I was asking about, I was clearly asking about the products and whether I should add more items/variety or not. Im an artist, not a web developer and Ive had a smaller amount of time to put towards web design and I know that, so I was going to hire someone, and I definitely wouldnt have asked people how they thought the site itself was. But also...how would a roadside shop be anything like a barebones poorly organized web page? Its bc youre not being genuine and youre double talking right now and that last sentence here confirms that. You must be on an alt account of someone I called out for peddling AI slop. I wont stop doing that though and truly, you didnt really bother me bc none of your "constructive criticism" made a lick of sense or was relevant enough to even hurt my feelings 🤣 Mostly just amazed at people thinking they're being slick when theyre not. Get well soon ❤️

Me : Ok I am sorry I was wrong, I told you something that you didn't ask for and I understand it was my mistake, I was just paying attention to the shop. I apologize. , I dont have any problem for me to "get well soon", at the end of the day i was just trying to give some feedback, but I am 70 percent in the wrong for mis understanding your question.
