My goal is to increase my sales and reach out to more buters

[9ElizabethStreet]

* Get my packing/shipping area organized.
* Become proficient in at least one form of social media without alienating friends & family with a barrage of "buy my stuff" posts.
* Learn how to use the fancy camera I bought (with my shop profits - yay!)
* Do a ruthless inventory of my yarn & destash that which does not give me pleasure, because if it doesn't make ME happy, it won't make YOU happy.
* Stop chasing squirrels... oh-oh, chipmunk!

I am starting my second year on Etsy. I just love how easy it is to do business with Etsy.
My goals are to increase my business by 75% in 2016. I know that sounds like a lot, but this full year I increased my sales by 100% over the year before, so I think it is doable.
Next I would like to continue to give more to charitable organizations because of my business.
Finally I would like to do a better job at social media.

Good luck with your businesses too!

Happy 2016 everyone! Wishing Success for us all.

My goal is to add to my inventory by committing to add 6 new items a week. hopefully to accumulate more sales.

[Former_Member]

I haven't had the chance to go over this in full detail, but I would like to secure a wholesale order or have my items featured in a local boutique. I had a previous experience with a consignment shop that was horrendous so I don't believe I will do consignment anymore.

On to more feasible goals...400 listings, new products, and solid branding.

I want to figure out what sells the best for me. I want to at least double my sales from last year, but would really like to do much better than that. I want to learn more about promoting my shop, more about calculated shipping and international shipping. I want to look into different shipping packaging. I want to carve out more time in my day to create!!!!

[InspiredbyCotton]

Thanks for the great tips everyone.
My goals for 2016 are:
1. One thing I aim to do this year is to do more personalized products.
2. Another is to increase my inventory A LOT.
3. Add more countries to my postage options

My goal is to work at my creations for 30 minutes every evening in weekdays: I have a full time job and I'm a commuter so it's difficult to find time (and energy) to sew in the evening, but if I want my shop to grow I need to find time for it, therefore I decided for 30 minutes every day: it's not much but allows me to realize many more creations than before, even if only a small step at a time!

[Former_Member]

So many plan stuck in my head, i hope i can do it all one by one, but the point is I hope i can sell my creation to entire of the world :)) .
