things just don't happen that way in my world.
So I jumped in. I took pictures of the stuff I had, and just did it. It was hard! Wondering how to word things, how to describe the item, is it not enough info?, too much?, what the whooey do I say about myself on that profile page?, yadda yadda. A lot to take in.
I did decide on free shipping ($4 to Canada. Sorry fellow Canucks.). Because I like free shipping. And I decided to keep it really simple. Nothing fancy. I like that.
I'll just post different things when I can, and see what catches on, and just go with it right?.
So check it out, and tell me what you think. What would you like me to put in there, what should I change, what should you do with your hidden stash of Halloween candy in the cupboard? eat it.
I have a few more ideas of things I'd really like to get in there by next week before Christmas (including but not limited to some dolls and more bags and an apron or two), but that all depends totally on how much fun we have here at home and how much I can get done. Which may not be much because we just signed up for Netflix instant streaming through our Wii and we can't stop watching PeeWee Herman's Great Adventure and Garfield and the Secret of Kells and all the chick flicks I've missed. awesome.
Be sure to order if you wanna by DECEMBER 17TH in order to get it by Christmas.
cally you make me want to open my shop back up. I had one with some jewelry on it, but chickened out and its been idle for a while...
ReplyDeleteoh, and I think the shop looks GREAT!
ReplyDeleteWOO HOO!! you go girl! I always knew you had it in you!!
ReplyDeleteand I LOVE The bag.
LOVING the shop. I have one etsy tried & true tip for you. Use ALL your tags. That's how people search for your stuff on etsy. Use creative names for colors, for orange scarf you can do things like...orange, carrot, neck warmer, scarf, tangerine, etc.
ReplyDeleteOnce I began doing that my views & sales went up AND I got featured in lots of treasuries. Good luck! Your photos are amazing and love your items for sale! WOO HOO for you!
FINALLY. :)
ReplyDeleteawesome. I am excited for you. I appreciate how hard it is, I play with etsy off and on...mostly off.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! I guess I will have to stop in and see whats creative (like everything you touch, I know) Can't wait.

Yay! I'm so excited for you. I know it will be a huge success. I'm am trying to open one too, but am still trying to build inventory and figure out the logistics.
ReplyDeleteI love all of the things you put into your shop. That toddler dress is adorable. I know you will do awesome at this new endeavor. All of your stuff is amazing...so much better than anything I could even dream of making. :)

ReplyDeleteWelcome fellow Etsy-er! I love your stuff. And I still want to be like you when I grow up.
ReplyDeleteAWESOME!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your little monster dolls you made and shared on your blog a while back. I'd love to see some in your shop!
Congratulations and best of luck with your new shop. Your style is awesome. Too bad I have already spent our Christmas budget (and then some...).
ReplyDeletecongrats on being so brave. i started filling out my profile and other info for an etsy shop. i got too stresses out and gave up.
ReplyDeleteYay! Go Cally! So I already added you as one of my favorites! One tip that seems to help with my sales on Etsy, is I have added the verbage "Free Shipping" to the Title. Don't let people wait to see it once they've clicked on your item. Let them know up front. People love free shipping, let 'em about it!
ReplyDeletefun!
ReplyDeleteMore power to you Cally. Your stuff rocks and people want it. Can't believe you were ever a chicken.
