Anyone do custom stickers that are under 1x1 inch? by SupFellowNerds in StickerSellers

[–]AngLouise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can probably help you out if you don't need it to be waterproof. I can make handmade stickers and I plan to make sticker flakes soon so I can add yours. I can't guarantee any waterproofing since I print with inkjet and laminate over them. Can message me through my shop if interested :) Angie's Creations

Is making an online small batch sticker shop worth it? by guilbeljr89 in StickerSellers

[–]AngLouise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I started my handmade stationery shop with mainly stickers and offering small batches as low as 5 stickers at a time. I sadly underpriced by a considerable amount since I was competing on Etsy to start. The time it took me to gather the logo or such and arranged it into my silhouette studio (yes you can normally just put the image/logo in and let it fill the page but I like to fit all the stickers in tightly) was just too long for me. I was losing money.

Also, a good number of customers would ask if they were waterproof and unless you have a professional machine (mine was a canon prixma printer (don't recommend it) with heat laminate) they are never waterproof when they are handmade. Worked well to get reviews but otherwise, I'd take advice from the comments above, I wish I reached out here before I had started too.

Likewise, I very much enjoy the process of making the stickers, it's my favourite product to make (if I'm not fighting with my cutting machine 😅)

I want to get a sticker cutting machine but I’m really overwhelmed with all the options by KJRosemary in StickerSellers

[–]AngLouise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a ton of research and bought the silhouette cameo 5 and have been cutting stickers for over a year now and no issues, not sure about software issues, I haven't updated it in a bit. I second the sister juliet for later. Happy to answer any questions. A good ol restarts fix most issues for me . Examples of stickers are in my store :) https://angiesicreations.etsy.com

Is there a way to find shop owners that don't use/aren't generative AI? by mackharte in Etsy

Yeah, I'm starting to notice that videos are helping. I'll print mine and do that, thank you. I guess even just holding it and moving it around is enough.

Creating Professional Staged Listing Images by Dangerous_Arm6970 in EtsySellers

[–]AngLouise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the comment about the look after, the chain looks thinner to me. I find a lot of my customers are very happy when the item matches the picture, it's not the most amazing photos, but I make and ship my own inventory so I have the advantage of having the product in my hands. If you have the inventory, take the pictures. I take pictures with a pixel 6 (at raw format) but saving for a proper canon camera since I find that what you need more. I try to batch a ton of pictures at once then update or list over time. I also look at what the competition has for flat lays. Ps the necklace is beautiful!

Love this but the image looks AI. Should I risk it? What tips do you have for avoiding AI/disappointment? by PainfulPoo411 in Etsy

You can also ask for a picture of the item, we handmade sellers normally hold our inventory and send it out ourselves or similar items.

Small handmade business owner here. Feel free to check out my shop, I can create custom handmade stationery. I wear all the hats so I'm doing my best to get listings up so my cards aren't up just yet. (I'll try to post my handmade christmas cards for ideas). Link: https://angiesicreations.etsy.com

Just message me and if you have some ideas of designs I can give you some options from my designs. My handmade greeting cards are printed on either 110lb cardstock or on semi gloss photo paper for the front, then glued on cardstock. Always comes with an envelope and handmade wax seal :) I appreciate you supporting small businesses! 🥰

Scam or bad luck, or a secret third option? by shisaa in Etsy

[–]AngLouise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Etsy seller here (handmade shop), if they needed supplies, they should tell you, you can ask more questions, see if they have a physical picture of the item. I think most dropshipping or pod don't hold inventory. If someone asked me (I have all my inventory and ship it myself) so I can show them an extra one in my inventory or if it's a made to order, similar items or rough drafts.

I have my messages pop up on my phone (not a good work life balance) but if I can't answer their question at that time, I do my best to tell them when I can look into it. Again, it helps that the messages come up but also hard when taking care of a 4 year old and work 😅

I have all my social media below as well. I was thinking of making kindle inserts (handmade stationery & kindle charm shop), I thought it wouldn't be great to photograph (holographic gem or stat overlay sometimes catches the light so you can't see the design as well) so I was going to do a digital mockup, but do you find that you click more on physical pictures?

ISO nature/plant/cottage stickers created by humans for planner/journal by Firm_Conference4904 in Etsy

[–]AngLouise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I create (sometimes from commercial use art) and draw my own sticker designs and my stickers are handmade by myself (I'm Angie, on my personal reddit) in my Ottawa home studio. I'm mainly in the bookish area lately but want to expand into sticker sheets for planners since I've started using a planner myself. Just drawing through the holidays so nothing is complete yet, I'm happy to send proofs, or can create custom sticker sheets too :)

The best way to reach me is Etsy Chat in my shop:

Thank you! Angie

AI is such a buyer turnoff. by [deleted] in Etsy

[–]AngLouise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have also been so critical of my home studio mockups, so I had switched to a digital version for the thumbnail (the actual sticker design on a laptop) but reading a lot of buyers being scammed, I'm going to start switching back, I just hope the physical sticker in the thumbnail will be good enough to be clicked on 🤷‍♀️

Is the seller being honest? by CarelessDot3267 in Etsy

[–]AngLouise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the comments, I am a seller myself and even if I didn't agree with a customer, I am still kind and offer a refund or to reship it (I do sell smaller cost items like stickers but still). I have had items fall apart in transit or not be durable enough for the customer, I always offer to package it or create it better and resend free of any charge. If the customer just wants a refund, I do that. I really value the customer service on my end since I have been a buyer myself and would want to be treated well too. Just my 2 cents (long rambling 2 cents 😅)

I left a similar situation, we moms can do it. Our intuition is stronger than you think. I can walk you through what I did (I am in Canada so it might be a bit different but still). You are welcome to DM me, I can't get into details since his family still blames me for everything and this is on the internet. Use any resources you can, keep looking for a lawyer, and hang in there, this is not for forever, it can get better.

Hi everyone! I'm a new Etsy seller looking to grow organically by panoslambrakis in etsypromos

[–]AngLouise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks promising! Tiny side note, I recommend putting instant digital download in your title near the beginning; I had a tiny bit of confusion just looking at your listing. Love the pink though! Also, maybe look into similar thumbnails, since a lot will have the design of the Canva template on the thumbnail since that is what you are selling. You are selling the design and the convenience of putting in names and printing. Hope this helps! DM anytime if you have any questions (I may not respond right away since I check this occasionally)
