Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Hi All,

I am new to the team. My name is Allison. I make and sell farm tables, and outdoor bbq tables for Big Green Eggs, and also outdoor pallet furniture. I have been selling them on craigslist mainly, and I decided to open and Etsy shop in July 2014. I just had my first sale this week!!!! It was so great, because I was started to think it wasn't going to happen. I have so much to learn about having an online store and online marketing. I have started doing research, and trying to learn as much as possible. If you have any suggestions, I would love to hear it. Thank you!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

As I close out 2014, I'm very excited that this year I quadrupled my sales and views from 2013 by doing the work of

1) Creating a brand that my customers understand

2) Benchmarking with other Etsyians who are doing well

3) Spending $$$ to market my shop with ads

4) Most important - just keeping at it!

Looking forward to a successful 2015!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Amazing thread. Very encouraging.
I created my shop a few months ago, https://www.etsy.com/shop/MFclutches
just taking the exclusivity one step further making it available to ppl globally. Got busy in traveling and when I checked my dashboard a week ago, I made my first sale to in Germany.. and several messages from admirers and people who like my clutches. Ecstatic by the enthusiastic response. What started as a hobby is now a platform for admirers who share the same passion.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I reached my goals of 2014! Setting goals can help you succeed!

My goals for 2015, sell 2 items a day (on average) and double last years sales $ amount... CRAZY GOALS but somehow I exceeded the goals I set last year so WHY NOT set lofty ones!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I recently started using Esty. I opened up an account a while back but I never used it! I started using it last month. When I got my first sale-I was hooked!
I have to shop favs now! I love it. Any advice is surely welcomed.
Thanks and have a GREAT NEW YEAR!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Hi everyone,

I sell jewelry and greeting cards in my Etsy shop, which just celebrated its 1-year Etsyversary. I have no sales through Etsy yet, but have had some success selling my greeting cards at in person events and local stores.

I'm planning to revamp both my jewelry product line and Etsy Store in 2015, starting with joining this team.

Linda

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

We really like ETSY and what they do however we haven't been making any sales. We have listed loads of products but nothing seems to happen with them. Is there something we are not doing?

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

This is my first year with Etsy and I am loving it. I was amazed at how many people saw my listings from all over the world.
I do have a question. I want to change the policies page on some of my listings and don't know how to do that.
Can someone help?
Hope you all have a Happy New Year and much success this year.
Thanks,
Kathy

I sold my first custom order! I am so pleased that there are people out there that not only like my items, but like them enough to ask for custom alterations. YAY!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

We celebrate our Etsy shop, that thanks to all the new features, continue to enhance our products, while still keeping the family feel we get when we come to home away from home. We haven't reached our goal of sales, yet but we learned so much throughout the year to aid in our marketing efforts.
I, the mom part of Awakachee Designs especially like the team aspect of Etsy, because it is a sharing with other Estians. We look forward to the new year with all at Etsy.
