Do you have any advice for me? I have always done custom orders, and of course I'd like to create just some general stock as well, but my biggest concern with custom orders TBH is how do you avoid getting too many orders at once? How do you handle the workload, the customer service, and the deadlines? How do you stay organized?
I have several different styles that I make, but they are all made to order--let's say ten different items. So if I list all ten, and if all ten of those items sold on the same day (not that they would, but because they are listed the possibility is there), how do you handle the workload and the deadlines? I was thinking I'd give each item a "one to two week" creation time, but I actually don't think I could make ten items in two weeks. So do you put a disclaimer about that in the item info?
Anyway, I probably have other questions--I'm pretty much nervous about listing items and then running into a workload issue. If you have experience in these matters, please feel free to share your insight.
I would appreciate just some general advice as well--you know, tips for the noob. =)
Thanks, guys!
