I had an idea recently about a better way to promote our businesses via the forum's Business Directory listings. It would allow members to also promote their products within their listings. A few said they thought it would be a good idea, so I said I would play around with it to see what we can do.
At first, I was thinking we could include widgets from our stores, but the forum doesn't allow scripting codes, so that's out. So, the only way to make this happen would be for me to create a table to display up to 12 of your products. Each image would be a link to the item itself and the link would open in a new tab.
To make the process go faster, I would pick the products to include, but you're welcome to suggest items you wish to feature. Either way, if you've sold something that's featured, please do let me know so I can replace the image link with something that's still available.
I've played around with a sample using my listing under the Collectibles category, which I've got pointed to my Etsy store since the only thing I have to sell there are collectibles. The ones I create for my business listings under Home Decor and Fashion will be formatted differently, but you can find what I've created for my Etsy listings at the link below:

So, take a peek and let me know what you think. When I get the one for my Home Decor listing done, I'll post that link here so you can see how differently it will be formatted compared to the one for my Etsy listings. I'm just wondering if you think I should put the display below the store and social media links or above them like in the example.
