Thinking about discontinuing some of my items...

[KatGurumi]

When I started etsy, I loved making knit hats. I have evolved into making crocheted amigurumi, and I really don't knit unless I sell a knitted order. My hats really don't sell at all, and I kind of ignore that section of my shop. Should I let these listings just expire or should I keep them so I have more items in my shop? Any input would be great :) thanks

I would be interested to know this as well, since I am contemplating droping off my bracelets for that reason.

I like your hats. One thing you might consider if you decide to keep them in your shop is putting them onto models. I'd love to see how they look on a person in your pictures.

I also like your hats and think they fit in well with your shop. it looks as though almost all of them are different styles. so I would keep them. keep one of each style. unless you combine them in to one or two listings showing the different styles you make having the customer order which style they like. just a couple ideas.

I agree with jenni and think the hats fit well in your shop - who knows maybe somebody looking for a hat will stumble upon your amigurumi or vice versa. One thing I would do is give your hats a little love and brainstorm some new tags to reach more buyers.

Before completely abandoning them, maybe try taking new photos. You'd be surprised how improving just the photos will get an item sold. As Pam suggested, you could try putting them on models, or at least making them so they don't look so stark white and blown out

I like your hats - it doesn't really hurt to keep them. On the contrary, someone might look at them by chace and buy one - you never know.

Thanks for the input.. the only problem with rephotographing them is that I have given most of the ones I have made away in giveaways or just to family members, as I make each hat to order. So, I would have to remake each one to photograph them.
