I make wax seals and signet rings for sealing your mail like you see in Game of Thrones. It socks on people's memory because it's something they mostly haven't seen in person, and they all want to touch it to see if it's real, so you are engaging more senses with your branding.
They are very popular among lawyers (Scales of Justice is my best seller) and for wedding invitations. I figure my best chance of success is with partnering with someone who makes wedding invitations, but I'm open to other suggestions.
I can make a seal to your design and sell you multiple pieces at wholesale rates for you to retail, or I could make one specific to your business to add that touch of high end class to your packaging. I could also give you a special coupon code so I know when you have referred customers over to me and we can arrange a finders fee.
I opened FAIRE Shoppe in October 2014 to sell the fine art, stationery, and upcycled decor I create and the vintage apparel I collect. I've got about a dozen half-baked ideas for collaborations, but none are quite ready for prime-time yet. I'm hoping that I might learn from others on this team.
Erica - Yes we have an eclectic mix , kind of like your shop. What do you find sells best? Look forward to hearing your ideas when they`re 'fully baked'. Remember both shops need to have a role in designing and creating the product; also both shops need to be mentioned in both the description listing and about pages. You also need to get Etsy`s approval. I
HI to all, I am a new shop owner. I've been sewing, knitting and crocheting for years. I would enjoy any collaboration. Some ideas I could sew pillows with a graphic design printed on fabric. I could print off the family reunion invitation on fabric for a keepsake pillow or tote. These are a few ideas. My skills are in textiles. Although not technically collaborating I have ordered from other shops to complete items.
Hello everyone! I'm Andreea from Romania, currently living in Hungary - Budapest. I like to handcraft since ever and I rediscovered crochet in 2013 when I also opened my etsy shop. Unfortunately, I was working + going to school + trying to spend as much time as I could with my future to be husband = no so much time for my hobbies. This is why I wasn't so dedicated to social media and not having sales on etsy did not help, but after I finished with my studies things changed :) I still don't have enough time, but it's better. My renewed crochet passion was spread through all my family (my mother's sisters), but for this etsy shop only me and my mother are creating.
As you can see, I only have 1 sale on etsy (I did some offline, but I try to gain the confidence of the etsy buyers)..so I decided not to give up anymore and keep going, keep pushing and keep fighting! So here I am..lots of plans, less and less time... but very optimistic for the future!
I don't know yet who could I collaborate with using my crochet items, but my mother started recently to create gorgeous necklaces made from lots of handmade sewn beads (peter pan collars) and I think itwould be a great solution to collaborate with someone who makes simple blouses or dresses.
I am happy to be in this team! Hope we will all be a TEAM!
I'm new to Etsy networking. I love crafting in my free time; at this point I'm not for sure who I would want to collaborate with, but I'm open to work with anyone.
Oooohhh!!! I am so excited to be here! Thank you, Krista from KolorByKrista, for inviting me! I am a photographer and have had my shop on Etsy for four years. I have recently decided to offer other items rather than just prints. I have a few stores on Zazzle as well as one on Society6 and FineArtAmerica. I make my most sales on Zazzle but my profit margin is low. I wanted to incorporate my photography into mugs, electronic cases, pillows and such. Zazzle lets me do that and I love it! I want to sell these products on Etsy as well, although on a much smaller scale. (I have thousands of products on Zazzle!) I recently applied for an outside manufacturer permit through Etsy and am awaiting word on that. I have sold quite a few of these new items on Etsy but am only making a couple of dollars per item. I would much rather try to utilize the skills of other Etsians and use them to create my products. I have collaborated a handful of times but know very little about it. I am excited to be part of a team that have the same intentions as mine and everyone seems so friendly and wonderful! Looking forward to going through everyone's shop and finding new favorites and new friends!
Yay, so glad you joined, Michele!! I see you're from Eau Claire! I'm in the La Crosse area and my family is in Rice Lake so I'm driving through there constantly :)
It's really awesome that you've already had a chance to do some other types of collaboration. It will be interesting for the rest of us to hear about!
Feel free to post on the discussion threads starting with "Collaborate with..." to find the people you're looking for! No one has posted on the photography discussion yet, but we're working hard to get more and more people to join the group!
Michelle - I`m in awe of your photography skills. In fact I`ve just posted on the collaborate with photographers thread that I`d love to talk about some ideas about working with you.
