Should I Start a Second Shop for these?

Hello team. I sell photographic art prints and cards. I am going to be launching a digital section and offer my blends used to make my art and other downloadable prints. They will have a lower price point and will not be the same as the ones I print and ship.

Should I start a second shop and keep these separate or keep them in the same shop. It's been over a month of being indecisive!

Thank you for your input.

I would keep them in the same shop, under a different section. Having two shops is hard work!

I would definitely keep it under one. It is way too hard to run two shops. You can just have different sections.

I would keep them in the same shop. I run two shops and it's taking forever to build up the same momentum in the second shop... so you can capitalize on any momentum your already have(followers, seo, etc) by introducing your new products in your current shop.

I agree with what everyone has said. Keep them in the same shops just under a different section. It will be so much easier for you to manage them both.

Re: Should I Start a Second Shop for these?

I have two shops. One is for my creations/art and the other for vintage with supplies.

It is really hard to keep up...listings, photos, marketing, FB, teams, and etc.

Now that you can section off and rearrange your shop you can divide it, showing one product line versus the other. When I opened my second shop, Etsy did not have that ability.

I have to go to one shop one day and the other the next.

Marsha, You can use two different browsers to view both shops at the same time. For example use Firefox and Internet Explorer and you can view both at the same time.
