We've recently launched an exciting new website to better serve our customers and artist community. During this transition period, new artist sign-ups are temporarily paused.

Want to open a shop?

1. Contact our support team at s6.co/contact
2. We'll add you to our priority notification list
3. You'll be among the first to know when sign-ups resume

Rest assured, this is a temporary measure to ensure a smooth experience for all new artists joining our platform. We're working hard to make the sign-up process available again as soon as possible.

Once your account is setup, you'll want it to look enticing for customers. Adding a cover image, profile picture and bio are the perfect ways to do this. Think about your branding here. You’ll want this to feel cohesive and distinctly you.

Navigate to your shop by hovering over the avatar in the top right of the site and click on "View Shop"

You'll notice a tab that says "Edit Shop" next to your follower's and design counter. Click this tab then select the "Appearance" option.

Suggested Specifications:

        Avatar = Square (1:1)

        Banner = 1000x100px

Be thoughtful with your bio. Some key benefits of having a great bio are:

• Improves SEO and ability to be found through Google search
• Allows customers to get to know the person behind the designs
• Helps the Society6 team in selecting artists for features

Once you’ve uploaded your artwork, you’ll want to make sure it can be found in searches. In addition to sharing links to your shop and products with potential customers, you'll need to include relevant metadata to your artwork.

With tagging and description fields built seamlessly into Society6’s upload process, you’re in total control of your own discoverability–and it starts with high-quality metadata. This is one of the most important steps in increasing the visibility of your designs in our marketplace. Artists who have proven success are very thoughtful when it comes to the information added here.

Pro Tips:

• Keep your title brief yet unique. The closer your title is to what someone is searching for, the more likely you’ll show up in search results.
• Including your display name/username in your tags is also helpful for getting your products found within search results.
• When adding tags, think about the words your customers would be searching for. 
• Do not add repetitive tags. (i.e "fall botanicals", "fall", "botanicals")

But don't stop there! We highly recommend that you promote the products you're offering via social media and other marketing channels. Check out this blog post we put together for more tips on promoting your shop - Promote Like a Pro
