After signing up as a seller or beginning your first listing, your store is set up and ready for you to personalise. This is your opportunity to shape your brand and engage potential customers.
Update your Store name
Select a name that both resonates with your brand and encapsulates the essence of your resources. Keep in mind:
Uniqueness: Your store name must be distinct and not already in use by another seller.
Non-Misleading: Avoid names that could be confused with other users or those protected by trademark laws.
Format: Use only letters and/or numbers; special characters are not permitted.
🌐 The name you choose for your store becomes part of your unique web address (URL) on TeachBuySell.

🌟 Maximise Visibility
Selecting the right listings to feature is key. Showcase items that are trending, seasonally relevant, or on promotion to capture buyer interest. These featured listings are the first products potential buyers see, so choose ones that best represent your store's quality and variety.
Manage custom categories
Custom categories let you move beyond standard options like 'Subjects' and 'Year Levels'. Create unique categories tailored to your resources, such as 'Back to School', 'NAIDOC Week', or 'Australia Day Activities'.

💡 Maximise Store Appeal
Well-organised categories not only make your store more user-friendly but also highlight the variety and scope of your resources. Carefully consider the best way to group your resources to attract your intended audience.
🌟 Enhance with Emojis
If it suits your style, you can enhance your category names with emojis to make them more visually appealing and engaging. For instance, use 📘 for 'Literature Guides' or 🔬 for 'Science Experiments'. Find and copy emojis for your categories from sites like GetEmoji or Emojipedia.
