Re: CALLING ALL SUCCESSFUL VINTAGE SHOPS

I wouldn't really consider my shop a fantastic success story (open many years and still nowhere near a thousand sales!) but a few things I've picked up are:

Find a team or two and become really involved. Finds one you like, with helpful members and opportunities to market yourself (and others!) like team treasuries, a group blog, team sales, or useful articles.

Find a good photo set up that you can use over and over. I noticed you had some really interesting 'wardrobe' photos, where your item is shown on a white background with other items to create a wardrobe. Cool! But having photos with models (which is great!) on the same page is a little visually jarring. I'm still trying new photo styles, but I've found that I personally like to browse and shop at stores with cohesive, clean, organized photos.

Blog! Start a blog where you can talk about anything: your trials and triumphs in the world of etsy, your favorite vintage styles, the shops you admire most, your adventures in thrifting. The more creative ways you get your ideas out there, the more people you'll have interested in you and your shop!

Hope this helps!

Re: CALLING ALL SUCCESSFUL VINTAGE SHOPS

I started in December, made it to 10 sales by Feb 28th and now I've gotten to 15! I think this is really good considering the volume I carry in my shop, my price point and my SEO. I have spend countless hours doing this because unlike marketing, SEO helps you be found by people ACTIVELY seeking you. I am working that hard, and I'm building a following on Twitter and Instagram. I participate on this team, but I don't really consider it marketing, rather a learning tool :) I am also trying to build my blog, but I haven't really gotten on board with that too much. My goal by April is to have a list of things to blog about to make it easier :)

Hope this helps
