My goal for this year include increasing sales significantly and adding new items to reach 300. I plan to accomplish this by offering more than one of each item instead of all one-of-a-kind items,

Re: What are your goals for 2016?

My hopes this year is to grow my store as fast as possible. I would love to be able to quit my day job by the end of 2016. I'm doing everything I can now to make that happen. I've created social media platforms for my store, joined discussions like this one, and promote promote promote!

I feel like I've got the perfect formula going for me. With my energy, enthusiasm, shop items, and a little help from social media the store should be thriving in no time!

My goals are to dream big this year. I have been going through my old stock of jewelry, costumes, and other destash supplies and having a super sale to make room for a new adventure.

Re: What are your goals for 2016?

My 2016 goals are better time management, creating a more cohesive line, and CONTROLLING COSTS! LOL I have GOT to get a more streamlined supplies tracking and ordering system in place.

I am so open to suggestions it's not even funny. Anyone successfully tackled the supply inventory issue?

Re: What are your goals for 2016?

Hello all!

I am very new to Etsy and I'm learning that my goal is simply a miracle at this point but not impossible! But I hope to make enough money to kinda fill in the blank for the weeks I won't be working as I move from Cali to Virginia to be with my boyfriend at the end of April. :) If this doesn't happen my world won't be crushed.

I also hope to learn to become really educated at successfully selling on Etsy!

Re: What are your goals for 2016?

My goal for my home décor shop is to expand my product line by adding custom made curtains and hand-painted furniture knobs. This is due to customers asking if I offered these items during 2015. Until now I've told them no and sent them elsewhere-even though I was perfectly capable of making them. So my goal is to begin making a line of curtains and knobs and gradually list new ones.

Re: What are your goals for 2016?

I am really hopeful to get my shop off the ground in 2016! I opened in September 2015 and was really please with the Christmas season, but so far January and February have been rather slow! I'm also trying to learn how to engage with my insta and facebook followers.

Re: What are your goals for 2016?

My goal is to get my Etsy shop up and running.

I'm hoping to quit my job then buy a small truck and travel around the country for a while. It would be amazing if my Etsy shop could help support that dream.
