Times they are a changing ....

@auntiehelen I actually thought I saw a doll, it was a one of though and a few months back now, it was probably fashion related though. I think Fassionista and Debraelizabeth may be right, all to do with marketing. We can live in hope for doll and art sets to be posted front page and maybe gently remind occasionally

Oh... there is a doll on the front page !!! Yay!!!!!!!

Hello @admin , if your target demographic is women, and I would assume it is, then here's the first thing to think about. Women are all about pretty things. Doesn't matter if it's fashion, dolls, interiors or art, if it catches our eye because it's pretty - we stop to look. That's where you need to focus: we stop to look. Selling things is easy once you get us to look, simply because we've now stopped to pay attention.
You can't do that with just the fashion sets though. Our eye is going to skim over them if we aren't just about fashion, and many women aren't. The younger set may be into clothing, but they also get into bling, and pretty things, and once again, you must get them to stop and look.
Dolls, interiors, and art sets are all to your benefit. If they catch the eye, they catch attention. If you want to make money here, don't just focus on the young women. Focus on all women. Go for the "pretty", go for the bold, go for the eye-catching.Just something to think about.

All I've ever seen are fashion sets and those people selling products. I noticed it shortly after I started on URSTYLE! I hit the URSTYLE word to see what I could find and I found it. I do wish other sets, besides fashion, would be recognized as well I do not know about the rest of you but I have never had a set featured on this page.

@bev At first I had a few featured.. some dolls and a couple of interior sets, but nothing since last October !!!

I have continually communicated my displeasure to @admin regarding the neglect of the art and doll community. If you all remember, as I do very well, Polyvore did the same thing towards the end. It became all about selling and not creating. I was so elated when I could start creating dolls again after the PV debacle but lately the site is so hard to navigate, slow, all fashion, and no love to the many doll makers, art lovers and interior design members. I have missed two contests now due to site issues and it is continual. I am so frustrated right now and the sad part is, they wouldn't even notice if the doll, art, etc communities left Urstyle...

@cindu12 You are right, Cindy.... we are so few in number, but we just have to keep the pressure on them !! Now that they have started to neglect the Interior sets too that boosts our numbers a fair bit!!
-
@auntiehelen It seems to be the same pattern as PV, every member was important and each community was represented. then all of a sudden fashion took center stage and then poof, it was gone. I suspect since this is a free site, they depend on the sales from those sets, but I have often thought that charging a reasonable monthly membership would help with revenue and change the dynamics of the site completely. Not sure I am in the majority on that feeling, but I just want a site to create and call home and not worry that every time I log in, something will be wrong with the site. Anyway, may be a pipe dream, but can still hope...

@gemini @Ollie I miss seeing the art and dolls sets too. I would love to be able to have a group that I can join for this, but I've look at groups any many I looked at say "only art sets, no fashion" does anyone know of a group a can join that is art/doll that I can join? I'm i correct that if you join a group all your sets are publish in it? Hoping you can find a group. Hugs to all, Fran

@cindu12 I suppose we can dream..........
-
@cindu12 I would pay a reasonable monthly membership fee if it would assure site stability.
