·5 years agoI am celebrating the launch of my home decor line. I am starting with 5 decorative pillows in 2 color ways. The covers are constructed of 24 to 43 individual parts which are hand-cut, overlocked, folded, topstitched, handwoven, and stitched together to form architecturally textured masterpieces that are not only pretty to look at but also durable and comfortable.

GeekMadeDesigns
·5 years agoWe cannot celebrate when our website CANNOT BE VIEWED BECAUSE ETSY is using an expired certificate!!!! PATTERN URLs provided by/managed through ETSY cannot be viewed on ANY apple products for days and ETSY support is NOT responding to sellers. Our websites are essentially OFFLINE due to ETSY management. FIX THIS NOW and respond to the many sellers in tears, TRYING desperately to contact support while our entire lives are in your hands!!!
KristinaMWoodShop
·5 years agoWow, Iˋve read all the comments and congratulations to all of you. We are doing such good jobs.
My latest milestone is that I just made my 97th sale and I just sold my first Home decor item, the round self-standing mirror and I couldnˋt be more excited.
Best wishes to all f you and letˋs keep on being amazing ❤
KarmasBaby
·5 years agoMy milestone is setting up my Etsy page after much contemplation. But I have not made 1 sale! Any thoughts? I am marketing. I dropped prices.. 1 of my ads got 700 views but no purchases? I'm confused. Thanks.
StudioAvai
·5 years agoWell done to all above. One of my favourited items has sold, and I purchased a different favourited item, plus now I have 55 items in stock.

·5 years agoMany Congratulations to you!
slashedpaint
·5 years agoSeptember, I dealt with my 1st return (kind of), so not a great milestone, but still a milestone and I think one that helped me to make some big decisions on the direction of my shop & despite the month being the worst of 2021, I had 50% returning customers ( who are very pleasant!) so that's nice! My goals for October are to finish up my clothes and at least most glass work for winter/spring & to get some serious painting time in. For etsy, my goal is to have October be better than September! Also, to make 1,000,000 sales. Just kidding!
ChillwolfArt
·5 years agoIt's really great to get Repeat Customers! Best Wishes on obtaining your goals!

SentimentalCustoms
·5 years agoI'm imagining 15,000 sales and my palms are sweating lol. What huge numbers, I'm so proud of all of you! I'm so new, I only have ONE Etsy sale! I've had a few off of Etsy, because our items are so customized it is difficult to just purchase right on Etsy! I am trying to find new ways to make it easier for people, but I am glad to have had 5 sales total from Etsy views! They are some of my biggest orders also. I look forward to building my reputation here with more orders and reviews! SentimentalCustoms.com
