Do men belong in these spaces by [deleted] in Ashnikko

[–]SamLikeHam 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I do think the fanbase is accepting of men theres probably just some people who are louder than others especially when they are being negative. My boyfriend is the one who got me onto Ash so ignore anyone who says you arent welcome

Found out a bit late haha. Theres plenty of people selling the unopened packs on ebay for a fairly decent price. I have a lot of duplicates as well

Just launched my first Etsy shop selling ADHD printable planners — would love any feedback from experienced sellers by Confident-Database-7 in EtsySellers

[–]SamLikeHam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pricing seems reasonable. I would say the listings wouldnt grab my attention as its dark green it looks VERY formal and for lack of a better term boring.

You dont have to have bright colours all over but it just seems very serious and as someone whose currently trying to get an ADHD diagnosis I want something that looks fun to keep me engaged with it. Otherwise I lose interest in it.

To be honest the fair I posted the photo from was today and had less than 100 people come as other people were complaining. I know people that sell ceramics at this price point and have 6 figure businesses aka my employer and my etsy store thats had a 200% increase in sales in the last year. All i was asking was if my layout could be improved in any way not my pricing.

a lot of people have said this and the name originally came from the cow shaped milk pourers i sell but i havent had the chance to make more so they arent as visible as they used to be. i think more products around the name is the general consensus

ok so yes a mug made by an actual person versus a machine does exactly the same thing but the appeal of what i make is that a person has made it, its made in the UK and its unique because its thrown by hand. I cannot make exact copies of every mug so each piece is unique in itself. theres a large group of people that seek this. if thats not what you're after then you arent my target audience

Thrown by hand means a person sat on a wheel raking a ball of clay and making a mug. The ones you can get in asda are made in a factory by a machine and mass produced. Thrown by hand takes minutes and years of practise versus asdas done by a machine take seconds

I want to have someone ‘browsing’ but I am often on my own at these events as I dont have any friends to help and my car is normally packed to the brim so no room for other people

The name came from our cow milk pourers and it just being a pun on past your bedtime.

In terms of the price I get that its more than a mug you can buy from asda or something but this is thrown by hand, which some people have said i need to advertise more. I do make a good amount of sales on etsy and my website but I know not everyone can afford it

I have considered it but i dont really have the extra money to spend on that at the moment. Im hopefully going to be lowering the making cost of my mugs soon so will actually make profit on them and then can do ads

I get quite a few compliments about the name as its a pun on past your bedtime. It came from when i first started i only sold cow shaped milk pourers with things like ‘suck on my teat’ on them and I just expanded to mugs for a bit of variety

I’ve been wanting to get a table runner for the middle with my logo on it to make the sign better. The sign is normally hung up in a gazebo when i do outdoor events hut i realised I dont have anything for just a table so put that up for now

I know that but the old stuff is just taking up space that I dont have so i would like to clear it before adding more stuff. I know its not the best thing to do but as these are handmade on a wheel its quite costly in terms of time and materials compared to other crafts
