I think your prices are good! Your stuff is so unique that it won't appeal to everyone, which is good because it means you are not copying anyone, but maybe you could start making other things, like unisex items? Just a thought, or maybe do some neon coloured things for summer, or gothic things, or items that can be worn clubbing, to weddings, or halloween, or tribal stuff? or cute couple/friendship necklaces/bracelets? Just keep going, you have a lot of things that are cute for spring/summer, and so maybe try and mix it up a bit with other themes :) I love your sewing machine by the way, by far my favourite! <3

hi Amy :)

Pricing is a pain! I think everyone struggles with it at some point. I've started using the Etsy Fee Calculator: http://www.rolbe.com/etsy.htm

Use that to figure out exactly what's going "out" fee wise, and then adjust your price until you get a profit amount you are comfortable with. Figure out exactly what your materials cost before you start fiddling with the Fee Calculator. I have done this twice in the past 2 months and now I have more confidence in my prices.

Hope this helps!

I dont think its your prices, you cant go any lower or you wouldnt be making anything for your time.
I like that you show your rings on the hand, but the angle is a tad dark, Maybe put the 2nd photos which have a bright white background and seem to be etsy popular right now on the first photo of all your images

Its awesome that you show your necklaces on the cards and on a person, make me want to purchase more.

This shot is awesome
Even the 2nd photo here would work with the 2nd photo in the other item as a cohesive all over shop look.
There are easy ways to get the blue tiny out of the background on that:)
Your items are really unique and really cute.
I dont see the colors listed in this necklace and I may also add vacation, teen girls, geometric
Just some ideas cause I think your prices are not too high at all

Amy, I think your illustrations are so fun and unique and lovely! I adore the sewing machine and tea-cups. :) I know not everyone feels the same as I have many friends who wear big rings, but I personally use my hands so much sewing and playing with my kid I could never wear something that big. But I LOVE rings and I wear them a lot. Maybe offer smaller sizes of the same illustrations? That is, if that can be done without losing all the wonderful detail?
Just a suggestion... other than that I love your stuff and think your prices are fine. :)

Thankyou :) yes i will be working on smaller versions of them :) that way it will appeal to more people i hope :)

Amy:

You have a great shop. Your photos are near perfect. I especially love this little guy and would suggest you do more kinds of birds:

Your prices look good to me, not too low, not too high. Overall, I think you just need to be patient. You've made six sales in just three months, and that's really good. The bane of Etsy existence is being patient and doing whatever you can to make sure people find your shop.

Join teams. Favorite other people who will favor you in return. (I just hearted some of your things and pinned two more to Pinterest.) Make friends with other Etsians and, above all, make treasuries to feature others who will eventually also feature you.

Etsy has a kind of karma about it where, if you give others what you want them to give to you (attention, hearts, feedback, sales), eventually they'll recognize you and do the same with your shop.

Best of luck, sweetie!
