Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I had two sales in two days….my 4th so far. My shop has been open for just under 2 months so that feels like a celebration to me!! I'm thankful for all the team tips and support! There is so much information out there! I try to do some promoting each day but still appreciate new tips for getting sales. Thanks!

I opened my shop exactly a month ago and am thrilled to have made 3 sales already! It is so exciting to ship goods to far-off places like Hungary, Australia and San Francisco from my little Cape Town studio. What a fantastic platform Etsy is ! :)

Cutest cushions ever, Cecile! Congrats on 3 sales in your first month.

I'm happy to report my shop just reached 100 admirers! Next goal, 100 listings. (I'll report back when I have a benchmark 50; I worked up a sweat just reaching 40.)

Happy selling everyone!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

2 weeks ago, I finally opened my shop after planning and working towards it for months and years actually. It's so nice to finally be up and running!

I sell vegan leather bags and hand dyed scarves. I'm looking forward to expanding into more product, as I learn and grow.

I made my first sale and felt elated! Can't wait for things to start picking up, and sales to be regular.

Thanks for all the support so far!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I'm celebrating because I just opened my shop!

Background:
My love for creating motivational and inspirational picture quotes began when I injured myself playing basketball -- I had torn 3 ligaments in my right ankle and was out for 6 months. Throughout the whole physical therapy process, I had to continually remind myself that things would get better. I saw other patients essentially giving up, thinking that things would never be the same again and they would never fully recover. That's when I had the so called light bulb moment. Why not try to inspire and motivate other people? And that's how Pen Quote was born.

Shop (I only have a few listings now, but more to come!):

I'm celebrating, because my shop is just a few months and I have 1 sale and 1 positive review. The buyer also wrote me and complimented on the products she bought. This made my heart so happy!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Started my shop (well actually added stuff to my shop) in February and since then I have had:

6 sales
2 5 star reviews
1,128 views (shop & listings)
100 favorited listings

and I am coming up in google searches!

So beyond thrilled, though it may not be much I am excited to be on Etsy and grow as an artist and share my art with my customers :)

My first sale- my favorite movie- done for a baby girls nursery

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

My shop has been open for 8 months and last week I had my first sale! It took me so long to learn the ins and outs but really grateful to have a sale and a positive review!! My background is design and decorating. I have been interior decorating for 20 years or so, along with space design. I love color and paper and creating and finally opened up shop! I am new to this team and love it!

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

( PLEASE ZOOM IN TO SEE THE FULL EFFECTS AND COLOURS )

Encapsulating all the personality of the Premier range, but created by using paints with a higher pigment content on specially prepared glass, the Delux Range emphasises vibrancy, contrast and style. Embracing a sense of natural chaos, they make a bold statement in any, post-modern setting.

Fashionable and affordable, the eye-catching designs of these hand-made clocks are far from conventional. Each, unique piece fuses flourishes of colour to produce an effect that can be anything from boisterous to enigmatic. These clocks are an attention-grabbing focal point for any home or office.
www.etsy.com/listing/221196421/original-ooak-modern-retro-abstract
They come with a silent sweeping mechanism and ready to hang or we have an optional 'Oak base plate' for those that require a free standing desk/window sill clock.

Measurements - 24" x 6"

Each of these pieces are completely unique and handmade by myself.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I find lots of reasons to celebrate! I just got the last pieces of my new packaging today - will try to post photos on my about page over the weekend - looks pretty snazzy if I do so say myself!

Happy Easter! :)
