July was alright.

My usual monthly update. So July was very slightly down in number of sales, but very slightly up in revenue, so happy with that.
Time to start looking at a cull....or is it?

I'll pop a different thread up for that.

How was your month? Any sudden success or inspirational moments?

Re: July was alright.

It was pretty rubbish really. I usually do quite well on Ebay but even that took a nosedive. So far August looks good as I've already made 4 sales in 4 days!

As for inspirational moments, I made e reader and kindle cases a couple of years ago and they sold very quickly so now I'm thinking those cases must be looking a little shabby by now and they need a new one!

Hi Kim
E-reader / kindle cases etc with an initial on them to make them a bit personalized?.
As for August, like wise it has kicked off well.

Re: July was alright.

July went pretty well for me (although not any sales through Etsy). It's all comparative though - I sold four silk screen prints which, for me, was pretty fabulous. For anybody else that would probably amount to a disaster!

I'm pleased your August has begun well, Kim.

Cheers!

Re: July was alright.

July was my best month ever, second only to last July, & no signs of slowing down yet. Ever since I started selling online I've heard people talk about the summer slump, but I always have a booming summer... December & March are usually my two worst months.

As for inspirational moments, I don't get much time for those in the summer. In "real life" my better half & I run a small taxi business so we're busy during grockle season. I like coming home at dawn though, last week end I followed a roe deer strolling along a lane, & saw the smallest fox cub I've ever seen on its own, so spending my work time shovelling the drunks up off the pavement outside the local club does have its compensations! Although I admit, at this time of year I get to the stage where I try not to go out in the daytime! LOL

Re: July was alright.

Statistically, views, faves and sales were virtually identical to July last year.
Views 1,280
Faves 112
Orders 2
But in terms of revenue those 2 sales brought in twice as much money.

And as I have been making some nice sales off Etsy as well, I am happy...

As Ross says, it's all relative. You have to define your own measure of "success".

Hope everyone's August exceeds your own expectations :-)

Re: July was alright.

Both views and revenue up compared to last year on Etsy - not sure via my web site but it seemed to be slower compared to April-June.

August has started off busy so far! :-)

Best
