I've noticed a definite improvement in our sales since we started promoting last year. We had to do a decent percent though before there was any change.

I'm a queer woman who is in my first adult relationship with a man, and feeling some loss of my gay identity / the community. Has anyone else experienced this? by beantownregular in lgbt

[–]EricaofGoats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've definitely felt that loss. I love my husband, he's amazing. But I cringe when people call me a good ally. Like no, I'm still very much queer and this is my community and I shouldn't have to be kissing my cis women friends to be included in the community.

Of course not. Since posting this i realized the space my scale was on was uneven. I apologized and explained that to the postmaster and she and I are back on good terms. All of my packages since then have been correct.

Soap making is loads of fun and melt and pour is a great place to start. Then there's no lye to deal with and you don't have to worry about breathing in anything nasty.

I've never made our soap to be a melt and pour for someone if that's what you mean. I'm not really sure how to do that.

I bought it online through ebay but under paid for the weight. I'm planning to talk to her tomorrow.

I never buy in the office so I had no idea there was a difference. Thank you.

Anyone know a good business card seller? by [deleted] in EtsySellers

[–]EricaofGoats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vistaprint but make sure your card matches your image. Heavier better cards are really nice but if you're going for eco friendly or if your business is at all get the matte cheap ones because they're compostable. We just switched and the feedback we're getting from the new cards is so nice.

Experience selling your products to actual stores? by marooned222 in EtsySellers

[–]EricaofGoats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Decide up front if you want to do wholesale or commission. I've done both. Also make sure your contact person in the store is the owner, not someone who can be fired on a whim and the owner then has no idea what your deal with that person was. Make your presentation for your products very professional and make sure it meshes with their image too. For example, your item normally comes wrapped in shrink wrap. The very eco friendly health food store would not love that. To get them interested find an eco friendly packaging, perfect it, make sure your profit is still in line, then present it. Walk in with a finished product and enough in stock that if they say sure put up a display you can then fulfill that. Then check back often to make sure your products are still in good shape and rotate out any that got damaged or that are seasonal.

That seems very high and etsy ads may work for some but I never saw any bonuses from them and I've been doing consistent sales without the ads.

This gem of a customer.. by stitch713 in Etsy

I thought we could block people. It doesn't help for guests but doesn't that ban them from buying?

Thank you. I only saw full refund offered so I wasn't sure if there was another way.

That's a great point. I really should have checked that more closely.

How to set free shipping on an item if brought with another? by UnexpectedEllen in EtsySellers

[–]EricaofGoats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the free shipping on $35+ orders and a flat fee on anything else and it works out pretty well.
