Just a little Cooqy

This next featured eBay seller is one of my personal favorites. I have played piano since the age of 5 and remember my grandma’s sheet music from the early 1900’s, all tattered and torn but with amazing artwork on the covers. The 1920’s were the Golden Age of the piano, so it makes sense that there is a lot of vintage sheet music to collect and sell on eBay.

Shelly’s Vintage Sheet Music is one such eBay store that specializes in vintage sheet music going back to the 1800’s:

This website strikes a chord (heh, heh) with me in many ways. The design is simple and effective, with search and categories listed on the left. Cooqy’s widget is perfectly color-matched to the website. By choosing to display the items in the Slideshow mode, the glorious photos of the vintage sheet music slowly scroll by, creating an eye-catching marquee of images that instantly transport the viewer to another era. By using the Storefront widget, Shelly’s 1,000-item inventory is searchable via the widget. Smartly, the widget is set to a width of 100% instead of a fixed width, so the widget stretches in width to fill the available space to allow the most photos to be displayed.

The cherry on top is that the widget is correctly configured to utilize eBay’s Store Referral Credit, such that 75% of the Final Value Fee is credited when shoppers purchase items through the widget on non-eBay web pages. All of Cooqy’s Storefront widgets placed on non-eBay pages should be configured in this manner, via the option in Cooqy’s Widget Wizard.

By using Cooqy’s widgets, Shelly’s has created an integrated widget design that highlights inventory in a very eye-catching manner. Thanks for using Cooqy’s widgets!
