Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Hello there!

I made already two sales and I am very happy about it. One of them was international(USA) and one was national.
I have around 20 items in my shop and want to get nearly 30 in the next two monts.
Luckily I have many views, but I am really using instagram and pinterest much so everything else would be frustrating.
I have one big goal for the next two weeks. I would like to shot new photos which are better maybe with a white background.. I am not sure yet..

But there is one thing which is bothering me.. I have shipped two items and I wrote for everyone a short note that I am happy they have choosen my product and I would appreciate it it they could write a feedback since I am new on etsy and it is important for me to get positive feedback. I am always checking other peoples feedback before I am ordering something and I know it is really important.
None of them wrote a feedback until today.

Does anyone know if Etsy is sending reminders to Buyers?

Thank you and I wish you many many sales! :) :)

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

This past weekend I reached 6,000 sales.

The funny thing is I almost missed it being distracted by our new baby, but caught it right at the 5,999 mark so I treated my milestone customer to a bonus goodie in their package. :)

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

I'm celebrating because with some work I doubled my Etsy sales in July and finally hit 100 sales a month. I also hit 3000 sales overall.

I'm finally treating my business as a business and not a hobby.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

Hi everyone! I've been working on my shop for several months now - from creating pieces to getting my social presence and SEO established - and I finally opened my shop this morning!! I'm super excited to see what happens :)

I sell greeting cards, notebooks, buttons, and home decor made using recycled/upcycled supplies. I use old magazines, plus random supplies I find at The Scrap Exchange, my local upcycling store.

Re: Official Success Celebration Thread!

My first sale :)

I've been open a few weeks. Realizing how challenging it is to "be seen!" Will give it time and see...

I make & design jewelry, mostly working with glass beads (I love Czech glass) but plan to experiment and keep learning new things, so I'm sure the shop will evolve. I love to design and it's so satisfying to make something with my own hands.
