What else should I offer?

[Former_Member]

I am still pretty new, and I probably have a product that is very common and thus difficult to sell, but I am still hopeful! I was wondering if people have ideas about what else I can offer to increase sales? Right now I just have photo prints listed, but I have seen some people do cards or magnets... What do you think?

Also any suggestions for my shop as it stands would be great!

Thanks for the help! This group is so informative and provides great support!

How about calendars? Big ones or those cute, small ones for your desk?
These always attract my attention...

I recently stumbled on a shop that sells stock photography. I'm not sure if that's something you're interested in because it probably opens you up to theft and copying, but it's something to consider. Try doing an Etsy search for stock photography to see how others do it.

Love the idea of a little desk calendar. That is a great idea and I think cards are always successful especially card packs.

Thanks! I like the idea of the desk calendars. I will look into printers for those. I am a little nervous about the stock photos, but I will research a bit.

Any other suggestions? Anything else I can do to improve my shop?

Reading about card packs....this is probably a crazy idea...

How about putting your photos, or various photos, at the back of playing cards?
Has anyone done this before?

Hi Katherine,

Your photos would also make nice note cards.

I have not attempted calendars yet either, but I'm researching printers. Here's a link to a short discussion thread on the matter from the Nature Photography team: www.etsy.com/teams/9250/nature-photography/discuss/10374822/

It can take awhile before a sale in the photography field. Good luck, and stay optimistic! I look forward to seeing more photos posted in your shop. :-)

Playing cards! That is an interesting idea. There are quite a few places that print them, but I am not sure about the quality.

I have thought about note cards, but I am trying to decide whether it would be best to sell single cards or a sets. Then if I sell sets, I need to find some cute packaging. There is so much to work out! :-) It is fun, though.

Maybe key chains with the glass pendants? Hmm..
