Hello

Hi Everybody,

Our shop is fairly new to Etsy. We started in July and are trying to sell photos.Some are digitally enhanced and some have inspirational quotes on them. So far we have not had any sales. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I will be checking out team shops and adding to my favorites.

Thanks,
George

Re: Hello

Hi George!

I'm new too and I haven't had any sales yet. Before I joined Etsy, I did read a few articles from past sellers and many did say that the difficult thing about Etsy is that there are so many artists out there selling their work too. I specialize in light bulb vases and pincushions, but if I type that into the search box, there's at least 50+ sellers trying to make it with the same thing. I checked out your shop and I love your work! I think you set a fair price, and you have a wide selection. I think just getting your name out there more might help. Maybe not with sales at first but (cross my fingers) hopefully in the near future, right? I set up a facebook page for my shop where I can update people on what's going on with the shop and what my latest creations are. That's a little more personal and I'm able to really connect with future buyers. Also joining teams and being an active member on the team is also good for networking.

Sorry this doesn't help much with sales! Good luck though! :)

Ooh, I forgot! If you're able to make it to any arts & crafts sales/fairs, that's a great way of getting your name out there too. I just sent some light bulb vases with my mother-in-law to my very first arts & crafts fair in the cities and I find out tomorrow if any sold. I don't have my business cards yet, but I did send little notes with each bulb talking a bit about my shop and where they can find me online. Good luck again!
