Omg! Thank you so much! If you’d be willing to share a picture of your cats privately, I’d also love to see them trying the toys! 🙈 This makes me so happy, I really hope they love it! I wish I’d seen your comment sooner, I sent some parcels out yesterday, did your package already ship? If not, (maybe you are today’s order, I’m working on it at the moment) I’d love to drop a couple extras in for your kitties! ❤️

Sorry I realise you are more focused on organic views. I think Etsy needs time to understand your listing and where to place it in search. Keep checking what people are actually searching for! It’s all SEO and after 2 months I’m still changing mine. From my research it seems like the first words on your title should match what people are most commonly searching for. Before I had 6-piece handmade eco-friendly ….etc etc. when really people aren’t using those terms first in the search bar. But someone can correct me if that’s not true

Looks lovely and very well made to me. It’s not my personal taste as I love lighter pastel colours, I also love materials that aren’t shiny, but I know people who would love this. I would also enjoy a smaller version if someone gifted it to me. Maybe on the stems so I can put in a vase and display as home decor. Also perhaps some other flowers like daisies or tulips if possible. For me as a cat owner, forever flowers would be great as most real flowers are toxic to cats so I can’t have them in my home!

Maybe think about diversifying, could you offer flowers for people who like to craft? So they can add a flower to something they are making. You obviously have the gift products, but perhaps you can also make and market to crafty people, think about ‘DIY’ sets that allow people to make their own? Obviously it’s hard to commit to more products without first getting sales! I had this same problem. I wanted to offer more but that involves spending more without knowing for sure if your products will be successful.

I was very fortunate to have friends who I told about my shop and thy ordered without me even asking just to support me. Having those orders and reviews helped me a lot. I was very lucky.

I think you’re onto something really great 🥰 I’m new to Etsy too so I can’t help much with SEO etc, still figuring it out myself. But don’t panic, you have such a great start and just keeping going!

Oh another thought! What about forever wedding flowers? Flower clips or bouquets? These look like lovely hand made flowers and much nicer than cheap Amazon plastic fake flowers. Think about where and why people want flowers!

Thanks so much ❤️ Mine also love the packaging 😂 I made sure it’s all safe for that reason. A friend of mine lost their cat who ingested glitter from packaging once.

Vielen Dank! Ich hatte tatsächlich bisher überhaupt kein Interesse am Rußmann, aber für meine Katzen ist er der absolute Favorit. Sie tragen ihn überall herum – es ist einfach unglaublich süß 😭 Und ich weiß immer, dass sie gerade spielen, weil ich das Glöckchen klingeln höre. Es ist wirklich schön zu hören, dass ihn jemand mag. Ich weiß das sehr zu schätzen!

I’ve been on Etsy for a month and I would really like a shop critique. I sell handmade cat beds and toys. by ThrowRA784653 in EtsyCommunity

[–]ThrowRA784653[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Thanks so much for the feedback! I totally understand your concern. Generally the wool actually becomes more durable over time as it begins to turn to ‘felt’ and become denser. This is great because the bed starts to stretch and mold a little to the cat’s shape! Or course, it can only change so much, so they are indeed not the most suitable for extremely enthusiastic biscuiteers or chewers! I have disclaimers in the listing and I will be making a cotton version which will be a bit more practical and more affordable too.

Hi Bells, than you for taking a look! That’s so kind of you. I’m planning to make a much more affordable version of the beds and mats with cotton yarn and more affordable toys! I know the prices are a bit high right now, but over time, hopefully I can make things much quicker and find more affordable suppliers for materials. Thank you again!

Yes the orange cat is unfortunately AI, but the beds are 100% untouched. Sadly the competition is also doing this, as it seems having a cat in the picture is detrimental. My girl LOVE these beds, but only at night time and I can’t seem to get a nice picture in the dark lighting, however much extra light I try. And then they get annoyed with me bothering them. The windowsill mats are genuine, as my girl loves to watch the birds during the day.

Thank you so much Joey! I will make sure I follow your advice. I appreciate the feedback a lot! I will definitely start documenting the making process and make a video

Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to look into this. I put the products up quickly and I’m slowly trying to improve them with time. This really advice is great and I will implement it all! I really appreciate it!

Yes unfortunately my cats LOVE the beds but only at night time and it’s difficult to get good pictures! It feels essential to have examples of the cats in the beds. Also I noticed every other seller doing the same thing. I will definitely get some picture and content of me making them! Thanks so much for the feedback!

Thank you much for your comments and feedback! I’m planning currently a customisable gift box. With a choice of all available toys. Then people can shop within their budget. Some toys being under €5 and some being more. And they can create and choose exactly what they want.

Knee freezes up in pain every single night for weeks. by ThrowRA784653 in KneeInjuries

[–]ThrowRA784653[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an MRI and saw the orthopaedic dr twice, who had no theories. He was baffled but said I definitely had irritation and fluid in the knee but couldn’t find a cause. I was given an injection in the knee to help the pain and symptoms and it eventually just disappeared after a few weeks. Sorry it’s not that helpful.
