6.1 TAGGING
How to tag a design:
1. In the BACKEND of your website, click the 'UPLOADS' tab.
2. Once the design has been uploaded, you can TAG the design.
3. Fill in ‘DESIGNER', 'SWATCH AVAILABLE' and check all relevant boxes (you must choose Exclusive or Non-Exclusive).
4. You must select one tag from 'Section'.
5. Now select as many tags as you need from the lists below. We recommend not to over tag as this can cause issues with customers finding the right designs. We recommend keeping the tags to approximately 10 tags per design.
6. When you are happy with your choices, click on the 'MAKE LIVE' button.
6.2 TAGGING TIPS
You can choose more than one story if you believe the design crosses both. For example, Floral and Digital Look, Paisley and Decorative, Conversational and Stripe.
TAG TO DESCRIBE YOUR SPECIFIC DESIGN BUT DO NOT OVER TAG! BE APPROPRIATE.
Only add tags that describe the main feeling, item or type of the design. If a design is fundamentally paisley but has a small stripe in the background, do not tag 'stripe'. Customers get frustrated when shown designs that don't match their search criteria. Less can be more.
Choose a layout option and a scale.
Choose some tags to describe the technique of the design, for example, hand-drawn, digital look, watercolour, flat.
Use tags further to describe the trend or theme of your design. If you have ticked PAISLEY, you might also tag it boho, art nouveau, peasant, and hippie, for example.
Use the ‘Use Previous Tags’ button to copy and paste the tags you have previously select.
Use the Next and Previous buttons at the top of the page to switch through the designs in UPLOADS.
6.3 SEARCH EXPLAINED
Customers arrive at your site search page with all designs showing; the latest uploads are first. There are two ways customers can search your designs.
All the 'Sections' your designs have been tagged with will appear in the left-hand navigation column. When a 'Section' is selected, designs tagged with that section dynamically show, and 'Season" Story' etc will appear in the navigation column. As more options are checked, the search results refine. Only available options will show, so there will never be a selection with no results.
Start typing in the search bar and select from the tags that appear below. You can add multiple tags to the search. The result changes dynamically below.
Saving a search. This allows you to guide customers to specific design searches. When a search is made on the frontend of your website, you can save it by clicking on the blue box in the bottom left corner of the screen. You will be presented with a link, copy this and send it by email to your customer (or use it as a link on your website). When they click on this link and log into your site, they will automatically be presented with the search results you originally made.
6.3A CUSTOM TAGS
The tagging page is fairly easy to understand but there is a little bit of work to be done by you to get everything set up as you would like. We think this makes it much more customised to your studio as you can choose your own headings, your own key words.
Only the admin of the studio will be able to add in custom headings so we suggest you do this for all your designers to begin with.
Here is the link to the tutorial video explaining how to set up your tagging menus on the FRONTEND and BACKEND
To begin with go to Studio Website and select Tags. You will then see the Headings and Custom Headings. The Headings are set and we have made it so that you can decide whether you would like these visible or not on the front end. If you only have one discipline then no selection box will appear on the front end. If you have two or more disciplines then they will appear in a side bar on the front end.
We have created a Custom Headings section for you to be able to choose the most relevant tags for you and your studio.
We have provided the top 20 keywords to your account, however you may change these and edit as you go. These are recommended words to you and we have added in the relevant sections.
You can now create multiple sections and call them what you like. Edit them when you need but once you have made a section it cannot be deleted, only edited.
Please see here the tutorial video explaining how to use the new tagging page.
Simply fill in with the relevant information. Now you can tag multiple Sections and Areas for each design.
Easily add tags by searching in the search bar at the bottom of the page to find your keyword quickly.
