After spending the last couple of years building my etsy shop inventory up to over 400 items; I am now DOWN SIZING. Why?!?!? etsy is a very ‘learn as you go’ type of business. Part of that learning process is figuring out what sells best for you, AND what doesn’t work.
So I’ve been listing a ‘little bit of everything’, and I’ve got boxes and bins of inventory stacked everywhere. Handcrafts: stitched fabric stuff, hand painted wood stuff, paper craft stuff. Vintage and upcycled. Beach cottage chic: vintage and hand crafted. Primitives; still had a bit to get rid of. And the MORE stuff I added to my shop did NOT equal more sales!
Time to re-think how I am running my etsy shop. So. I looked back over what DOES sell, and am now clearing out EVERYTHING ELSE.
OVER 200 ITEMS ARE NOW HALF PRICE IN MY ETSY SHOP!
I still have a few more things to list (mostly supply stuff) but my wrist needs a break from the computer right now. More listings to be added nest week.
AND, I’ll be doing a ‘Christmas in July’ half price sale; so mark your calendars!
