We had a meeting with a client yesterday and she is working on getting an Etsy shop up and running. Our plans include a lot of specifics but when it all comes down to it, you need to have these three things working for you.
1. Style
Your photographs, banner, and avatars are all you have to give your customers a feel for your shop identity. Make them work for you, not against you.
2. Customer Service is Key
With any business you want to provide good customer service. In the competitive Etsy market, it helps to provide stellar customer service.
3. Be Your Best Marketer
Nobody can tell your story or sell your shop better than you! Use all the resources you can to get people to your shop because they won’t always find you by accident.
Toolulu will be presenting an online Beginning Etsy Seller Class in the fall. You will learn some basic photography skills, how to use the analytics, advertising information, some business organizational skills, and more. We’ll keep you posted!
