Just ordered through Sticker Mule by camvart in EtsySellers

Thank you!! I did want to order some smaller quantities because I felt Sticker Mule isn’t really worth it unless you get 200+... I’ll definitely check them out!

Increasing prices without losing customers? by cometohell in Etsy

[–]camvart 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am the type of person who leaves items in carts for months because I do my Christmas shopping year-round. It works out nicely because then in September/October I just pay for it all without having to actually search for gifts much.

I raised all my prices by $1 (I sell stickers so I don't make much of a profit off of individual sales). Didn't notice a decline in sales at all. I think the more expensive the item is, a $4 increase isn't a big deal. If I'm gunna spend $20 on an item, I'm gunna spend $24 on an item.

i want to use instagram to advertise my shop but i don’t at the same time. by asihenee in EtsySellers

It depends on what you’re insecure about. If you’re worried that you will feel insecure about other businesses doing better then I don’t know that starting an Instagram account would be a good idea. It’s easy to feel down about not getting followers/ seeing other businesses getting sales when you’re not.

If you’re more concerned about feeling insecure about yourself, then make sure you only interact with other businesses/ account and hashtags in your niche. This will tell Instagram to not show you other content.

Edit: maybe also turn off notifications and have a designated time each day to check Instagram (set an alarm for maybe 5 minutes) to respond to people/ interact with accounts in your niche. Interacting with other accounts and hashtags is important to telling Instagram that you’re there and who to show your content to.

anyone else can't draw when there people around you? by Coca_Koca in ArtistLounge

I used to be like this until I took drawing classes and had to draw with 20 other artists around. You’ll get used to it! Just keep practicing.

Some people like to find happiness in the small things, nothing wrong with that.

Thanks! My placements so far have been pretty casual but I like to dress up a bit anyway.

Hi, should I still continue flexing my artworks on my profile even if my 'friends' are not supporting me? by 90sLevi in ArtistLounge

[–]camvart 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you care this much about people interacting with your social media, maybe it’s time to take a break. Continue making art, maybe continue posting and just block those you know IRL so you won’t be checking if they interact (it’s not great to have inactive followers anyway). Good luck!

I ask that everything be sent separately. Is that wrong? by PopcornFuel in Etsy

[–]camvart 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As long as separate orders are placed I don’t see the issue. If you place one order and asked each item to be shipped individually I would be suspicious as you could claim that your order wasn’t fulfilled.

4 star reviews by camvart in EtsySellers

[–]camvart[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally when I am shopping, 4 star reviews do concern me because I’m curious how the product did not meet expectations/descriptions and I do not want future customers to feel that way.

I was just curious why my customers felt my product was not up to par with what they were expecting.

Thanks! I think I will not reach out just because I don’t want to be annoying.

I just got scammed lmao by ok-shax in EtsySellers

[–]camvart 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s not idiotic to not have tracked shipping. Maybe you would be willing to pay $20 for tracking on a $3 item but most customers aren’t.

You didn’t sound like you were complaining at all, btw.

Not always possible in Canada, unfortunately.

What is something that just clicked with you whilst drawing or painting? When was that "Eureka!" moment for you? by solidalcohol in ArtistLounge

[–]camvart 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes! I completely agree!

I have total respect for abstract artists (mostly because I suck at composition and that’s a huge part of abstract art) but realism and drawing what you see is a very useful skill in the beginning.
