An idea to promote us, because what we want is reach customers and not only crafters. We want to sell, or not?
What if, for one week only we create a promotional event (definitelly through our Facebook group). During this week we offer the shipment to Spain, if not Europe. It is not a big loss... It is maximum 1,5€ but sounds great to the customers, they fall for "presents". The ones who do not want to loose this shipment fee, just include it to the selling price for 1 week.
It can also help to promote our own shops, because ETSY, by default, shows the best shipment rate, if the search criteria is marked by the buyers.
In this week we share the links, the products, we promote each other, we try to reach as many persons as we can. We can also make a "shipment give away" list on Etsy...
The main goal is to tell the possibile buyers that ETSY is a functionnal platform, that it must not be expensive.
What do you think?
