I decided I'm going to start setting goals at the beginning of every month. It is the only way I'm going to be able to keep up with 2 venues.

So, my May goals are:
1. Sell 1 item. I just want 1 sale this month.
2. List 5 items. I am slowly bringing back over items from my other venue, so if I do 5, I will be happy.
3. Make 1 new product. I have a few different products I like to make. So, I want to make and list 1 new product this month.

Share your business goals for the month.

Re: May goals

I have a goal that I am hoping will help everyone.
I need YOUR help to meet my goal.
In order to determine my next focus for promoting the Shop, I need to find out from YOU which venue has netted you sales and how many sales per year it nets.
Example of venues are: Facebook, teams, friends (word of mouth), LinkedIn, Instagram, etc.
Please message me your stats and I will share (here?) my findings.
Hopefully, this research will clear the question marks that hang around like cobwebs!

thank you!!!

Re: May goals

This is a great idea. I need to start making goals for my shop.

For May, I want to at least:

1. Get a better grip on SEO.
2. Schedule time with my models for some of the items I've been procrastinating on.
3. Finish up some of the hats/scarves I've been working on like months ago and kind of forgot about.

Re: May goals

Accountability Time! How have you all been doing? Are you still working towards your goals?

I'll start. I did make 1 new product this month - rhinestone headbands for my son's dance studio. And last night, I sold 3 of them. I haven't listed them on Etsy because they are very studio specific. But maybe if I can get good pictures I'll list them. Who knows? I haven't really listed a lot. I'm working on product descriptions and color palettes.

Re: May goals

New update on my revenue. I am a third way to my goal.. Sales have slowed down so much since the beginning of this month. I'm really hoping that I can make that goal of $300.
A lot of my RTS items in my shop are sold off.
Donation box is still sitting in the hallway waiting to leave the house.
I have paid off my mission trip bill!!!
I have made 5 new birthday onesies
I'm going to clean out my fabric stock this weekend.
And I can't even start to think of Holiday items.

Re: May goals

My Etsy goals for the remainder of this month are:

1) Make an effort to get back to 100 listings. I'm at 70 now. I'm going to break that down into 10 items at a time, so my first "mini goal" will be to get to 80 items. :-)

2) Sell AT LEAST another 10 items. 10 would bring my total sales up to 500!

Re: May goals

Olivia I hear you!! the first weekend in may I had 6 orders totalling 10 sales…thought my shop was really taking off…and then it died!!! I finally had a sale on Monday but it was from a friend (which still counts but still)…it can be so frustrating how inconsistent sales can be! Good luck!!!

Re: May goals

I have had 3 this week which is great, downfall is I forgot how much time it takes into making my items. I have an art project and a bio paper to turn in tomorrow. I also have to work on my three hours. I've been so use to laying around doing nothing.

Re: May goals

My goals for may are pretty straight foward

- work on getting new photos for my shop
- add new items ( I got a sewing machine for my birthday, I wanna try and make some stuff for my shop with it, got a few things in the works now)
- sell some of my inventory at the art walk ( I have been making stuff but I havent really been selling it) The art walk is next month so I have alot to do to start out for that
- Make a sale or two on etsy, so far I have made alot of custom order outside of etsy but none on etsy. last sale was in march :(
