What do you hope to achieve this year?

[UtterApparel]

After two years selling on Etsy (our 2nd birthday today) and achieving nearly 4000 sales, 2016 is going to be the year of expansion.

We have outgrown the room we have in the house, so we need to look to create more space or premises and invest in new equipment which will allow us to launch new product lines and tap into different markets.

Also we are looking to harness the power of social media to increase awareness of our brand and increase sales (easier said than done).

This will be my first year with my shop but my goal is to put my all into it and try to make something for myself. I'm so excited and I'm determined to make Audrey's Crochet known this year!!

I have smaller goals than I've read so far, but I'm still happy with them :)

* 100+ followers on Twitter
* 20+ unique listings in my etsy shop
* research and improve tags

I hope to create 100 listings in my store. Only 36 more to go! woohoo :)

[Former_Member]

I'm not sure yet... I guess I want my shop to keep growing, add some more listings, and see what happens. I'm still new here! I want to do my best and my shop to be successful! :)

[Former_Member]

I`m going to have a complete overhaul of my web site including a new domain name. I`m also finally going to sign up with face book. And hoping to open a second section to my shop for dyed wool and accessories

[Former_Member]

I hope to focus more on a new idea I've dabbled in. I hope it's successful and my sales increase. I hope to continue to grow my social network as well. Happy New Year!

My new year's goals are to become established as a Etsy seller and quit my day JOB!!!

[HandGCrafts]

My goals for this year is by March to have a bow sell everyday. Then between March and July have at least 3-5 sales a day, whether it be bows, digital bottle cap images, or ribbon. After that I'll be happy but should it happen with more sales after that I think I'll be ok with that lol. I love getting my "Sellers High" because it's a fun high :). I enjoy my work and I work with what I enjoy. I just hope it works for me. :)

Hi! I would like, this year, to sell wholesale. I have a LOT of merchandise, between beads, handmade beads, necklaces, earrings, some vintage items, bracelets, and necklace scarves that I would like someone to entertain buying in bulk. As of the last two years, my health has slowly been declining, and I am kind of winding down....although I have no desire to stop making jewelry completely. BUT! I have been collecting for over 35 years, so if you might be interested in buying in bulk, just contact me, and I would be more than happy to entertain a deal. Thanks everyone for listening!

Hello,

My hopes is to be able to add 5x the number of items i have in my inventory, and at less 3x my sales, hope it starts to get better, this month been bad.

God Bless !

Happy New Year to everyone! I'm aiming to build my own unique and quirky jewellery line this year and everything that comes with launching something new and different :). Wish me luck everyone!

Good luck to everyone with their goals too :)!

Start a jewelry design channel on YouTube and rekindle my blog.

[Former_Member]

Hi y'all! My goal is to be more consistent about my inventory. I like to envision my creations and sometimes it can take days or weeks even to be inspired. I would like to work on finding ways to be inspired a little faster so I can turn over inventory.

I also would love to get help from those here on Etsy about advertising and being consistent with following up on my TEAMS! Thanks for reading! Have a great rest of your day!

I know this sounds ridiculous but to start stocking up for Christmas in February. I need to sew at least 5 Christmas-themed items every month. I was close to being overwhelmed and I don't want to do that again.

Otherwise I stocked shipping items and all sewing supplies correctly.

Happy New Year everyone!!

My goals are simple:
1. Relaunch the shop with all the new things I'm working on.
2. Start working seriously to be seen and get sales! If you have any tips on the subject, I'd like to hear them ;)

Good luck with your resolutions and goals!

2011 Tested the online concept on one hot boring summer day
2012 decided it could work and polished my shop
2013 canceled 14 on the road trade shows since my shop was generating the income
2014 challenge year. Set a very big goal and succeeded
2015 worked to get my shop in a steady state generating enough income to live decently with our few remaining shows
2016 going rudderless. No goals.
