For anyone thinking about starting up an Etsy <a href="https://nostosolutionsblog.wordpress.com/2016/10/11/the-need-to-take-a-long-term-approach-with-personalized-marketing/" rel="nofollow">shop</a>, it is important that you have a good product that is priced correctly. This definitely clears up some of the hurdles I would have faced trying to dive right in the blind. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09279198171712692566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650441766408409956.post-58810585096826675842015-06-23T14:55:44.085-07:002015-06-23T14:55:44.085-07:00I totally agree about selling quality products. Ev...I totally agree about selling quality products. Everyone loves cheap prices, but that doesn't mean the quality should be cheap as well. The right price for the right quality, right? If the customers know that your shop is reliable, they'll keep coming back for more. It's the best marketing strategy out there. In any way, thanks for those tips, Heidi! More power to you! :)<br /><br /><a href="http://frontburnermktg.blogspot.com/2015/05/cleveland-marketing-companies-can-help.html" rel="nofollow">Cory Phil @ Front Burner Marketing, LLC</a>Cory Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14379849792754808845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650441766408409956.post-15962660188713543982015-06-23T14:54:55.015-07:002015-06-23T14:54:55.015-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Cory Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14379849792754808845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650441766408409956.post-56421276429495586962014-07-06T18:52:04.192-07:002014-07-06T18:52:04.192-07:00Thanks for this post!

To be honest, part of my hesitation is I don't know what to do about taxes, especially for any purchases that come from my fellow Canadians. Everything I've read about it makes it sound incredibly confusing.Leanne Parsonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07944797294783593234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650441766408409956.post-21374633921887802872014-07-03T07:52:57.213-07:002014-07-03T07:52:57.213-07:00I really appreciate your comments!

My post was so long, I am glad you were able to muscle through it! <br /><br />My hubby sells more fragile items than I do and uses some interested packaging, such as empty plastic water bottles. He puts little notes in there in case buyers are put off, 'Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!'Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00546043492549930952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650441766408409956.post-87439251162204151692014-07-03T06:30:00.278-07:002014-07-03T06:30:00.278-07:00I too find that getting reviews is difficult.
I...I too find that getting reviews is difficult. <br /><br />I dont have many sales yet (I dont have many items in my shop, it's mostly an 'outlet' for when I make something that I don't have an immediate need for). <br /><br />I also don't make my blog about my Etsy shop/sales, though I will mention at the end of a blog post if that item is for sale in the Etsy shop and provide a link. And I will occasionally post a facebook status highlighting a few items. <br /><br />As for shipping/packaging; I do use packaging that will protect the item but I do not do 'fancy', simply to keep the cost down, and I do state that in my shop policies ("I try to keep shipping costs as low as possible by using the minimum amount of packaging required to ensure you product arrives safely / undamaged. For small, non-fragile items, this may be a simple bubble/padded envelope.") I do include a thank you note with each order. <br /><br />When I order from Etsy shops I do often convo first. One item I ordered only offered one of the item and I convo'd to ask if there were more and lo and behold there were three. The seller made a custom listing for me with combined shipping. <br /><br />My Etsy experience has been minimal but very good. I've had to provide only one refund and that was because the purchaser did not read the details or look at all the photos (just at the item name), but I refunded fully and re-listed the item. <br /><br />Overall my experience with Etsy has been very good, both as a seller and as a buyer. <br /><br />(sorry this comment is so long!)
