Something happened around August with Etsy that has caused me to have fewer sales. I also closed my shop in September because of my mother's illness and death, and that's never good for an online business.
So in an effort to jumpstart some business, I kicked off a sale on all of my puzzles-- 20% off until November 29th.

What do you think? Any tips or ideas?
P. S. I updated some of my links because some shops have closed and some have changed names. Check them out because my friends might just have something you need to buy for a Christmas gift.
I do always need puzzles, although I usually need simpler, wooden ones for my children. I support you trying social media. I don't really have any business tips for using it, wish I did. But it's a great way to get more people. And I often find links to Etsy shops through social media. I have plenty of friends who enjoy sharing their shops and others' on Facebook. I actually just bought a crochet hat from Aunt Alicia from following her shop link on Facebook. Now that I've thought more about it, I pay more attention to businesses with personal touches and that attempt to connect with followers. I like polls and comment replies and information about how to use products. I also like seeing pictures of products, especially if they're being used (like a hat or lotion or tool, etc).
ReplyDeleteWhitney, I love those owl hats of Aunt Alicia's! Thanks for your advice; I'll likely eventually follow it. Which social media do you like best for this sort of thing?
ReplyDeleteIt is quite adorable. I don't really wear hats, so I will have to figure out what to do with it :)
ReplyDeleteI only use Facebook, so I couldn't give advice on any of the others. I think Facebook covers a wide range of ages, more so than some other social medias.
